Shoppers at supermarket giants Asda, Sainsbury's and fashion retailer TK Maxx will receive huge discounts if they work in any one of 14 jobs.
The shopping retailers will give customers an additional discount of up to 60% if they work in the education sector thanks to a scheme few people know about.
A scheme called Discounts For Teachers is for anyone who works within the sector and includes teaching assistants, school administrators and even volunteers, BirminghamLive reported.
Current deals include 60% off at TX Maxx, £16 off a £60 shop at Sainsbury's, 30% off at Asda and 20% discounts at Oasis along with many other retailers.
The scheme also gives money off holidays, 15% off at Haven and 10% discounts at Hoseasons with stays also included - and 15% off some stays at booking.com.
The scheme says: "Our discounts aren't just for teachers! If you work in the education sector in any position you can benefit from our discount scheme!"
It added: "Whether you're a teacher, teaching assistant, cleaner, canteen staff or work in any role in education, we have a huge range of money saving deals and vouchers, from discount holidays, money off fashion fixes through to deals on gym membership, mobile phones, and utilities.
"Your hard work should be rewarded. We’re here to make sure you are."
Rhian Roberts, 29, is a primary school teacher and keen user of the Discounts For Teachers scheme but had not heard of the scheme until a colleague announced it in her school's staff room.
She said: "Thank goodness we have got Discounts For Teachers', but a whole group of us had never heard of it before," Rhian explained.
"It's definitely meant savings in the hundreds of pounds over five years.
"It's made a huge difference since the cost of living started going up, especially as I have had a pay cut every year since starting my job, when you factor in inflation.
"I get a lot of use out of it, and I use it most weeks. It is great when buying gifts for people. I can get people things I would not be able to afford otherwise."
Linda, a teacher, revealed in a review: "I came across discount for teachers by chance when searching for vouchers for an online order.
"I have since used it for a number of items - and whilst the savings are not always a significant amount , in the current economic climate any money saved is a bonus.
"Great to have the teaching profession recognised alongside blue light and armed forces - awesome company to be alongside."
