August is now well underway, which, of course, means back-to-school time is coming up quickly.
Are you ready for the upcoming year? We thought we'd scour the internet for some deals.
Some of these promotions appear to be for the items teachers need for their classrooms: namely, book and school supplies. Other deals -- which, often time, students can get in on, too! -- are a little more random, but either way, it’s nice to know there are companies out there that value our educators and the young minds of our future, and want to cut them a little break.
As always, be sure to read the fine print before assuming this deal applies to you!
