REMINDER: Teacher Appreciation Days

Many Teacher Appreciation Day events are going on this weekend. Whether you’re a teacher in a traditional classroom or a home-based educator, you’re still a teacher! So step right up and get those freebies! Details are listed here.

Teacher Appreciation Days

When back to school sales start up, you can expect Teacher Appreciation Days won’t be far behind. Here’s the scoop on how my fellow educators can get some freebie love (and YES, homeschool educators count!):

Staples – Teacher Appreciation Day varies by location. For instance, in Murfreesboro, it’s August 6. In Huntsville (about the same distance for me, either way), it’s July 30. The bummer is that only the first 100 teachers will get a free tote bag. Go here to see when the Staples in your area is participating.

Office Max – I got a card in the mail about this one, but I’m disappointed because, although it’s a two-day deal, it starts on Sunday, July 31. It’s another “first come, first served” deal, this time with 150 goodie bag. As a pastor’s wife, it’s not possible for me to be there when the doors open on Sunday. You have to sign up for their MaxPerks for Teachers program, if you’re not already a part of it, to be eligible for this freebie. To look for what’s happening at your Office Max, go here.

Office Depot – I SO wish there were an Office Depot nearby, because they have the best Teacher Appreciation Day, by far! It includes a free breakfast, giveaways, 20% discount, and a coupon book valid for the whole year (Office Max’s coupon book is valid only through the end of September). You do have to be a member of their Star Teacher program, which is free to join. Around here, the special date is Saturday, July 30. Go here to locate yours.

FREE Tote Bag + 15% off @ Staples

Use this printable PDF coupon to get a FREE reusable tote bag and 15% off everything you can put into the bag. Well, almost everything. Go here to print your coupon and to read the exclusions. Yes, you can do this more than once, but you can do it only once per day. Coupon expires Saturday, June 25.

HOT Bounty Deal at Staples!

Staples has a printable $3 coupon which is valid through Saturday, June 11. Here’s a great way to make use of it!

Staples has a six-pack of Bounty paper towels this week for only $4.99. Use the $3 off coupon to get them for just $1.99!

There is also another $3 off any $3 purchase with a completely different coupon code. You have to click on the weekly ad, then on the left hand side there will be a red rectangular box that says “A Special Offer for You & All your Friends” Shop. Save. And Share. Click on that red box and the coupon will appear. Both coupons have different coupon codes, but use the same wording. They look different, too. Same expiration date.

Here’s the fine print: Valid through 6/11/11 in Staples U.S. stores only. Excludes postage stamps, gift cards, phone cards and HP ink and toner. Minimum purchase requirement of $3 must be met with purchases to which no other coupon or instant savings offer applies. Limit 1 coupon per customer per day. No cash/credit back. Tax is not included in calculating the minimum purchase. Coupon not valid if purchased or sold and must be surrendered.

There are lots of things you can get for free with this coupon, including copy paper that is just $2.99 after easy rebate.

Thanks, Hip2Save!
