A Discount for an Organized Teacher

Ok, this is a discount for those of us who just wish we were organized teachers too;). The Container Store has a teacher’s discount! It is good online or in the store (or by phone for those who order that way) for 15% off. I am a homeschooler and I filled out the form just fine. It does say that you need to show a teacher’s id in store but I usually just show my CHEA or HSLDA id’s in these circumstances and have never had a problem.

To make the deal even sweeter… if you order online you can get 4% back from Ebates and 5% back from Shop at Home!

Adoremus Books Coupon

Adoremus Books is a Catholic bookstore but I have found them to be a good source of homeschool materials for those of us who aren’t Catholic too;). They are having an Easter coupon that is good until April 12, 2010. You get 20% with the coupon code Easter10.

Craft Store Discounts

Here in Fresno we really only have 2 craft stores, Michaels and Joann. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can blow quite a bit of money in these fine establishments;).

Now, I signed up for the paper ad from Joann’s but it is tiring to shop by 1 40% off coupon at a time. Joann’s does have some other deal opportunities! First you can sign up for their online newsletter. They will send you some coupons that are good only online but also many coupons that are printable to take in!
If you are an educator (yes, that means homeschoolers too!) you can sign up for an additional discount. You will get a 15% card that is good on your entire purchase, excluding things you used coupons on. That means you can use the 15% off sale and clearance items!!! You also get a 1 time 20% off an entire purchase coupon! You can sign up online for the educator’s discount if you have an ein number (teachers) or hslda/peah number (homeschoolers). As homeschoolers, if you go into the store you just have to show them something. I used my Chea card. The educator discount is good for 1 year and then you just fill out the form again.
Michaels also have an online newsletter. You will get the ad emailed to you every week. They also have The Knack newsletter. This is for both teachers and educators. Usually it is just craft ideas but sometimes it includes additional coupons to!
Both Michaels and Joann’s accept competitor’s coupons. At Michaels it can take a while because they often need to do multiple purchases but Joann’s just scans them all in on one purchase.
So what are you still doing here? Go sign up for your discounts and good crafting!

Book It Time!!!

For those who don’t know, Pizza Hut runs an incentive reading program. I am very excited that they open it up to all forms of school, including homeschools. You can only register into the Book It! program between now and June 2010 for the next academic year. All you do is fill out the form to register. Then they send you 1 certificate per kid per month for a free personal pizza for September-March. You decide how you want to award them!

It is for kids that are k-6th so remember to count your preschoolers who will be in kindergarten next year. Also, only individual homeschool families can sign up, so your groups don’t qualify.
This is our 3rd year participating and we love it! Next year we will have 3 kids who qualify!
So run and fill out your forms!
