Uh yeah, we've talked *** lot about back to school spending for families. But what about teachers? Now, *** few teachers have reached out asking what are some of the things teachers can do to save on classroom supplies? *** couple of things first, you should know they're tax deductible. The educator expense deduction allows you to deduct up to $300 worth of expenses on things like classroom supplies, books, technology, you qualify if you spent 900 hours working as *** teacher, *** counselor, *** principal or an aide for students in *** state certified K through 12 school. So make sure you hold on to your receipts and keep track of your expenses. Next. Buy supplies from retailers that offer discounts for teachers and there are more and more of them. We found *** few for things like classroom decorations and arts and crafts supplies. Joanne fabrics and Michael's. They offer 15% for teachers for other supplies. Staples. Ok. Right. Here has *** coupon in their app right now that gives teachers an instance 20% off at Staples. And finally, Target Walmart Amazon. All let teachers create registries, think of it like *** wedding registry except instead of like fancy China, no one's gonna use, they actually have *** need for classroom supplies. Ok. They make *** list parents you can go into the registry and buy what that specific teacher asks for and it's for the classroom. So we all got to pitch in. We hope that helps.
