One of the sweet benefits of being a teacher is having summers off. Not so sweet and definitely in the minus column is having to spend your own money on school supplies.

As we inch closer to another school year, El Paso teachers will be happy to know Target is offering your wallets some relief by bringing back its "Teacher Prep Event" in July.

Like last year, the retailer is giving teachers a 15 percent discount "on select classroom supplies" from July 13 through July 20, 2019. Plus,  new this year, they've added women's and men's apparel and shoes to the deal.

According to the company website, “select classroom supplies” includes hand sanitizer, classroom storage and organization, and facial tissue.
