Price cuts, discounts, yellow stickers... there's a sense of achievement in not paying full price, after all everyone looks a bargain don't they? But it has been reported that thousands of teachers have been missing out discounts through a free scheme specifically aimed at the sector.
On board with the discount scheme are the likes of Amazon, Sainsbury's, Asda and Harvey Nichols, and some people are said to be saving around £100 a month on their shopping, according to Hull Live. The Discounts For Teachers promotion has meant that shoppers at designer fashion retailer TK Maxx can get up to 60 per cent off while there is 50 per cent off on certain products at online giant Amazon.
The scheme is open to anyone who works in the education sector and discounts apply to retailers and hotel stays. For instance, booking.com is offering 15 per cent off some stays and 10 per cent discounts at Hoseasons. Rhian, a 29-year-old primary school teacher, estimates she saves £50 on groceries and £50 on other expenses each month, according to the Mirror.
