Becky Bronkema, the Vice President of Durable Goods at Meijer, understands the hustle that families endure during this season. “We know that families are very busy this time of year, trying to balance summer fun with back-to-school preparations,” she said. “By providing basic school supplies for $1 or less, we’re making back-to-school shopping easier and more affordable, ensuring families get the best value at a one-stop shop.”

Special Discounts for Teachers

In addition to amazing prices for school supplies, Meijer has reinstated a 15% discount for teachers. This discount can be claimed in the form of a printed coupon, which teachers can present alongside their valid school identification at their nearest Meijer customer service desk. This offer runs up until September 7, and is also applicable to other categories like kids' clothing and select electronics. Meijer continues to extend this 15% discount on school and office supplies throughout the entire academic year, allowing teachers to utilize it multiple times with a new coupon issued with every purchase.

Recent statistics from AdoptAClassroom.org reveal that teachers spent an average of $895 out of pocket on educational materials during the 2024/25 school year. This expenditure marks a staggering increase of nearly 50% compared to 2015. To aid teachers, Meijer is also providing selected educational supplies in economical bulk packaging, including crayons, markers, colored pencils, and dry-erase markers.

Please note that coupons are only valid in physical stores and certain restrictions apply.
