Supermarket giants such as Sainsbury’s, Asda and designer fashion retailer TK Maxx are giving thousands of people a huge discount on their shopping.

Some people are saving around £100 a month on their shopping, thanks to the scheme - but few people know about it.

Here we take a look at what the scheme is, the offers available and who is eligible.

What is the scheme?

The Discounts for Teachers scheme is different to the Blue Light Card.

Rhian Roberts, 29, is a primary school teacher and keen user of the Discounts For Teachers scheme and said it has saved her hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.

This scheme gives money off and vouchers for things like shopping, gym membership, financial services deals, bills and more.

Current deals include £16 off a £60 shop at Sainsbury's, 50% off on certain products at Amazon, Office and Harvey Nichols and 20% discounts at Oasis.

The scheme also gives money off holidays, like 15% off at Haven and 10% discounts at Hoseasons.

Hotel stays are also included - like 15% off some stays at booking.com.

Rhian estimates she saves around £100 a month using the scheme - £50 on groceries and £50 on other shopping, reports the Mirror.

But the teacher had not heard of the scheme until a colleague announced it in her school's staff room.

Rhian said: "She said 'thank goodness we have got Discounts For Teachers', but a whole group of us had never heard of it before"
