Please pass this along to any teachers you might know…  

The Container Store is offering a special 10% OFF just about everything discount for teachers and educators when you sign up for their latest “Organized Teacher” discount program. Once you are signed up, you’ll receive other just-for-teachers special offers throughout the year.   Learn more here.

Insider’s Buying Tips ~ The coupon you’ll receive via email, once you sign up, is valid for 30 days from sign up and cannot be combined with other offers. That said, we recommend you plan your enrollment time to when you know you will be using the coupon and when no other sale or discount is offered on your purchase. Also, the discount will work at both the Container Store’s bricks & mortar store and at their online store (containerstore.com).
