Teacher Appreciation Sale!

 

TEA-cher Time Giveaway!!

I am SO excited to be hosting a giveaway compliments of TRADITIONAL MEDICINALS® teas.  They have a wonderful array of teas which are healthy and delicious.  My favorite flavor is peppermint.  Pictured below is the product sample package that they will be sending the lucky winner.  I was so surprised when I received this in the mail because the sample was so nicely packaged.  There is a ceramic mug (made in the USA I might add) three boxes of teas,  a tote bag, and a tea sampler with different types of teas arranged ever so neatly in a wooden box.  The teas all come packaged with descriptions of their health benefits.

 

I will be choosing one winner at random who comments below on the following prompt.  Only U.S. residents may apply.  The contest will be open until next Saturday at 11:59 p.m. CST.

Since spring is approaching, comment below about your favorite most creative math lesson or activity for spring.  If you don’t do anything special for the season of spring, just tell us about your favorite math lesson.

Not Sure What You Will Get Your Colleagues for Christmas?

I always struggle with what to get my fellow teachers for Christmas.  I think a Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Certificate is the perfect gift.  Giving a TPT gift certificate is such a great way to spark a new passion in a seasoned teacher or to give a boost to a hard working teacher.  To try them out, click here.

I’m Having a SALE!

I’m having a 20% off sale Sunday, November 25th through Tuesday, November 27.  If you wait until Cyber Monday,  you will get whipped cream and a cherry on top as Teachers Pay Teachers will add 10% off of my 20% off sale which means you will get a total of 28% off of any of my items.  Many other sellers will be having sales, too, so come on over and check it out!

Back to School Sale on Teachers Pay Teachers!

Hey, everyone, mark your calendars for August 12th and 13th.  That is next Sunday and Monday.  TPT will be having a sale. All items will be on sale UP TO 28% off.  The products in my store will all be 28% off!  Be sure to grab all of  the items you have been swooning over.  Now is the time to stock up!

Office Depot NOW Decides to Sweeten Teachers’ Shopping Deal!

Yesterday, I stepped on out to the mailbox, and what did I find?  Office Depot Coupons!  Not only that, but some extra good news.  Office Depot is now offering teachers  a 10% discount all year long!  They have redeemed themselves.  I had always felt it was disappointing to shop at Office Depot and to have a teacher “discount card”  that didn’t give you a discount on much…hmph!

For Teacher Appreciation week they are offering a 20% discount and a Teacher Discount Bag with product samples (my favorite!).  The coupons in the mailer are for $10 off a $50 purchase and for 30% off packs of Elmer glue sticks–I still don’t know if that will beat Wal-mart’s glue stick deal at 0.10 cents!  I’m feeling a little Black Fridayish about August’s back to school sales.

Back To School Teacher Appreciation Discounts and Events!

Don’t you love to walk into Wal-mart during back to school season?  I do.  I want to buy 10 boxes of crayons for 25 cents even if I don’t need them.  And who can pass up spiral notebooks for 20 cents?  Well,  in the spirit of back to school season which is soon encroaching, I thought I would whip up a list of teacher discounts for you.  Teacher discount days make back to school season so much more fun!

  • Office Depot is hosting the event August 5th-11th, 2012.  During this week you will enjoy a hefty 20% off of your purchase with your star teacher discount card.  If you wait until  August 11th from 9-11  you will also enjoy a teacher breakfast,  and giveaways in my area.  If you live somewhere other than near me in good ole’ Arkansas, you need to put in your zip code here to find out when the event will be held.
  • At Staples’ back to school event they will be giving away free gift bags to the first 100 customers.  Click here to find out when the event will be held in your area.  (I especially love staples for their crazy shaped paper clips–ones that look like purses, high heels, flowers, animals, etc.!)
  • Mardel’s will be holding their education sale on July 19th, 2012.  They will be offering 20% off of all of their educational products and school supplies.  They will also be extending their hours from 8 a.m. -10 p.m.  You may also register to win an iPad!
  • Big Lots (news to me) also has a teacher appreciation day.  They will be hosting one Saturday, August 11, 2012.  To find a Big Lots store near you click here.
  • Office Max offers lots of goodies for teachers as well on their event day.  You get a free tote bag and coupons.  Also, they are offering 25% off of everything you can fit inside your tote bag.  To find out when their event is held, click here to input your zip code.  Sign up for a teacher discount card when you go to enjoy 25% off.  (I am especially impressed with the way Office Max emailed me the details of their teacher appreciation sale after reading on my blog that I was unable to get details of their sale by calling the store.)

Make sure you bring your teacher id when you go!  Happy shopping!

A “Lofty” Deal

Summer Fun Day #3!  So I was minding my own business yesterday just meandering through some stores…I was actually looking at some office furniture to tell the truth because I was checking dimensions for my home office…when all of a sudden I stumbled into Ann Taylor Loft.  I was absolutely not planning on buying ANYTHING especially because they are so pricey.  Well, I discovered they were having a half off of their clearance sale…you’ve got to love a discount on clearance merchandise!  So I looked a little longer than I had planned.  I found an adorable all cotton sweater (it is hard to find all cotton sweaters anymore–my favorite!!!)  At first I looked at the price tag and thought I saw $44–not much of a clearance.  Then I looked again.  Are you ready for this?  The tag said $4.88.   I thought that it had to be a mistake until I discovered another one just like it priced for $4.88.  Below you will see my oh, so, cute new sweater which I got for$5.29 with tax :) . Yay, me!  I figure I can wear this in spring or fall this coming school year.  I am telling you about this fabulous find so that you can go shopping, too, and find some deals.  Ann Taylor Loft is friendly to teachers offering us all a 15% discount and some other perks.  To sign up for their perks, click here.
