If you’re an educator, you’re likely familiar with Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), an online marketplace where teachers can buy and sell educational resources. TPT offers a variety of resources, including lesson plans, activities, and printables, which can save teachers time and energy. However, TPT can also be expensive, especially if you’re trying to purchase multiple resources at once. Fortunately, TPT hosts sitewide sales throughout the year, which can help you save money on the resources you need. A TPT sale occurs 4 – 5 times a year, so how can you make the most of one?
During sitewide TPT sales, sellers typically offer a discount of 20% on their resources. In addition, TPT also provides a sale code that can give you an additional 5% off your purchase. If you’re looking to make the most of a TPT sale, it’s important to plan ahead. You can browse the TPT website ahead of time and add resources you’re interested in to your cart. That way, when the sale comes, you can quickly check out without feeling rushed or pressured to make decisions about what to purchase.
