I love a good deal - who doesn't? I'm guilty of going to our local outlet mall each year for Labor Day weekend to load up on the best back-to-school outfits from Banana Republic, Gap, and J.Crew. So I've been especially excited over the years to hear about so many stores that offer discounts to teachers for showing their school ID. Check out the list below and save a little cash while you're shopping!
