More deals: Smaller chains and locally-owned businesses also will have deals for teachers. Some franchises including Zaxby's and Culver's may also offer specials but it can vary by location. One of the easiest ways to find specials is by checking social media accounts. Also, don't be shy...ask the clerk at the checkout if the store has any educator discounts. Many stores will offer a discount even if they don't have an official offer.
