Meijer offering discount to teachers
MIAMI COUNTY — Following a busy year of blending virtual and in-classroom learning, teachers are getting additional discounts from Meijer as they tackle back-to-school shopping lists for this fall’s return to classes. The midwestern retailer is adding office furniture and kids’ apparel to the more than 1,500 items now included in its annual 15 percent off discount. The offer is valid through Sept. 6.
Offered to teachers through its 257 Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Kentucky, the discount provides savings on classroom essentials like paper, pencils, folders, and notebooks.
Additionally, Meijer is focused on helping teachers save money on their own needs, as well as the needs of their families. Expanding the discount to add key items like desks, bookshelves, frames, lamps, and kids’ clothing allows teachers some extra savings as they plan their personal supply needs, maintain remote workspaces in their homes, and prepare their own families for the first day of school.
Teachers can get the discount – in the form of a paper coupon – by presenting a current school ID at their local Meijer Customer Service desk. They are also able to take advantage of the coupon repeatedly by obtaining a new one any time they return to Meijer throughout the back-to-school shopping season so they can complete their shopping lists when it is most convenient.
