Teacher Appreciation Week has officially started and runs through Friday. A few retailers, such as Staples, are extending the deals further. Some restaurants are even offering free meals and promotions for teachers during the week.
In addition to Teacher Appreciation Week, May sees discounts for other occasions too. Cinco de Mayo sales happen on Thursday, and National Nurses Week runs until May 12.
Teacher appreciation week officially began on May 2, but different businesses are holding their own schedules.

Some even require teachers to have the store or restaurant’s app or be signed up for loyalty programs.
