Good morning, How are you? I thought I would continue our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Classroom Supplies Teachers Discounts. If you know of other discounts teachers should check into, please leave me a comment and I will add them to this list as well as possible. If you check any of these orders out let me know what you think of them and why.
Teachers save an extra 5% on Boxed orders when you log into your ID.me account at checkout. This special discount is in addition to any sitewide discounts on bulk orders of school supplies, shelf-stable snacks, cleaning products, and more. Everything can be purchased online, and you’ll get direct delivery. No membership needed!
Costco Teacher Discounts: The Ultimate List
Score a discounted membership and the cheapest teacher lunch in town.
Join online for the Costco teacher discount on membership.
When teachers join Costco online, they receive over $60 in savings to use in store. As a Gold Star membership is $60, teachers effectively receive a free membership! Sign up at this link to enroll and have your teacher status verified, pay the $60 membership fee, and receive your Costco Membership Activation Certificate. When you bring your Certificate to your nearest Costco location, you will receive your membership card. A couple weeks later, $60 worth of coupons or gift certificates to use at Costco will be mailed to your home address. This discount applies to all teachers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and for brand-new teacher Costco members. The discount also applies to teachers who have had their Costco memberships lapse for at least 18 months.
If you’re pursuing a degree, sign up for the Costco student discount.
Teachers who are currently enrolled in a Title IV U.S. college or university can sign up for the Costco Student Discount. Join online here to verify your student status and pay the $60 Gold Star membership fee, and you’ll receive a $10 Costco Cash Card in the mail. You can also apply for the $120 Executive Membership, which provides two household cards for use, and you’ll receive a $20 Costco Cash Card. The only problem you will have is deciding whether the Costco teacher discount or the student discount reward is best!
Check out the Costco Warehouse savings.
The Warehouse savings section of the Costco website breaks down their biggest deals, the ones everyone raves about and that really justify the membership fee. Michelin tires for hundreds of dollars less than you’ll find anywhere else? Warehouse savings. Name-brand jeans for $10? Warehouse savings. Dyson vacuums for $80 off? Warehouse savings. Bookmark this Costco link and visit it frequently!
