Here is my annual blog post with discounts for Teacher Appreciation Week 2025! Like last year, I am sharing links to websites that have collated lots of deals instead of listing specific offers for teachers in separate categories such as restaurants, stores, and museums. Plus, I’m including links to several restaurants that are offering specials to educators during this week.
In 2025, Teacher Appreciation Week runs from May 5th through May 9th and Teacher Appreciation Day is on May 6th.
Websites with Teacher Appreciation Week 2025 Deals
The websites below are roundups of places that are offering great deals and discounts to teachers and other educators. They offer deals in a variety of categories so you may have to scroll through to find things you are interested in. Click on the links below to go to each website:
* From DontPayFull: Teacher Discounts 2025: The Complete List of Offers for Educators
* From We Are Teachers: Best 2025 Teacher Appreciation Week Deals and Freebies
* From Teachers of Tomorrow: 32+ Teachers Appreciation Week Discounts & Deals for 2025
* From Krazy Coupon Lady: Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5 – 9): Deals You Can Expect To See
* And from PTO Today: Teacher Appreciation Ideas
The first 4 websites overlap each other and include many of the same resources. The PTO website has ideas for how families, friends, and colleagues can honor the teachers in their lives.
I have not verified all the links within the websites so it is possible that some of them won’t lead to special offers in your own geographical area. And I am sorry but I don’t think these discounts are available to educators who are outside the U.S.
Special Food Deals and Discounts
In the past, the restaurants below have had deals for teachers but not all of them have announced them yet. I don’t know if they will offer special deals or discounts again this year. They may not have any announcements about Teacher Appreciation Week specials on their websites about until a few days beforehand so I’m afraid you will just have to keep checking them. Also, not all of these restaurants are national chains so some of them may not be available in your area.
The links for Applebee’s and Whataburger take you to those restaurants’ webpages with info about their 2025 deals. Please click on the links to the other restaurants to see if they are offering any special deals on Teacher Appreciation Day on May 6th or during the entire week:
* Abuelo’s
* Applebee’s
* Firehouse Subs
* Freddy’s
* The Green Turtle
* Grimaldi’s
* Insomnia Cookies
* Logan’s Roadhouse
* McAlister’s Deli
* Mod Pizza
* Potbelly
* Whataburger
* Sonic
The Krazy Coupon Lady website includes a list of restaurants so be sure to check that out if you’re looking for food deals. That website lists restaurants that I have not included but they do say they haven’t confirmed yet if those places are offering any special deals or discounts.
The restaurants usually ask to see your teacher ID so make sure you bring it with you in case they ask for proof that you’re an educator. They might also have other requirements so just check in advance.
I hope you find some great deals and discounts through these meta lists. Teachers and, actually, all educators — including nurses, custodians, and other support staff who work in schools — deserve to be treated with respect and while it’s great that there is a special week devoted to honoring them, I think it would be even better if teachers and other educators were celebrated all year long and not just during one week each year.
