Lord knows we deserve ‘em, the way we spend money on educational resources!
Barnes & Noble, as most of you probably already know, offers a 20% discount to educators, including homeschoolers. Usually you need to show some kind of proof that you’re homeschooling—in Virginia I brought in the letter the school district always sent to acknowledge receipt of my Letter of Intent. Sometimes individual employees aren’t clear on the store policy, so you might have to politely educate them. (Further qualifying you for the card, LOL!)
Jo-Ann’s Fabric has a Teacher Rewards card that homeschoolers are eligible for. I had one once, a few years ago, but I forgot to renew it. I’ll have to get right on that, what with sewing being at the top of Rose’s request list for New Things to Learn. Here’s the scoop:

Lissa,
Posted on September 6th, 2007 at 4:17 pmThere’s a thread at 4real that lists all the known current educator’s discounts. I think you’ll find some more there!
Jane, feel free to post a link to the thread here! I haven’t been over there much lately.
Posted on September 6th, 2007 at 4:22 pmWell, after checking out your link to Homeschooling on a Shoestring, I would say that that’s a pretty exhaustive list! But here’s the link anyway (not sure how to post a link in a comment box):

Thanks so much for the JoAnn info! That’s really helpful to us… Can you use your 20 percent off at Barnes and Noble over and above a rewards member card (or whatever they call it?) I’ve never signed up for the member card, because I order so many books online from other sources, that I didn’t know if it would pay off…
Thanks for always providing great info - I think I’m getting the Momagenda for my upcoming birthday!
