Teacher appreciation week is happening right now in Amarillo, and there are a lot of businesses that are throwing out freebies to say thank you.

It's something we all should be doing, thanking those teachers. They deal with a lot and put up with our kids on a daily basis. They should be paid more, but that's a conversation for another time. For now, let's make sure you take advantage of all those freebies!

TOOT'N TOTUM

On Thursday, May 8th, you are going to get a free car wash! Talk about perfect timing, right? After all the rain we've gotten, I'm sure that car is a little bit dirty. Just show your nursing or teachers badge to get it.

You can also save $15 off an oil change all week long, and enjoy a brisket sandwich tray or three-piece crispy chicken from Mitch's BBQ for just $5 in the TNT app.

THE DONUT STOP

This one seems like a pretty easy one to grab, but you can stop by any Donut Stop and grab yourself a free donut by showing your teacher badge. It's a solid start to the morning before you have to deal with our minions.

Best part? It doesn't say you can't grab one each day of the week.

WHATABURGER

Donuts not your thing? No worries, Whataburger has you covered. Show up with your teacher badge and score yourself a free breakfast item off their menu!

Again, I don't see anything that says you can't do this every day, so you may as well hit it up each day.

BUBBAS'S 33

Need to get out for dinner after dealing with the kids? Well how about a free appetizer at Bubba's 33 to take the edge off?

Show them your teacher badge and order up a meal, and the appetizer is on them! I recommend the fried cheese, it's delectable.

CHICK-FIL-A

Today only, May 7th, you can head out to Chick-Fil-A and grab yourself one of several items off the menu for free. Sandwich, nuggets, whatever floats your boat, they've got you covered.

Like the rest of them, show your teacher badge and order away! You must do this in person, the offer is NOT valid on mobile orders.

PESCARAZ ITALIAN RESTAURANT

Ok, so this isn't a full-on freebie, but it's still pretty darn good! Need a quiet sit down meal? Head over to Pescaraz, where they're hooking you up with half off your entree this week!

Yes, it doesn't matter what you order, so go ahead and pick the most expensive thing on the menu. It's half off with that teacher badge. They're also doing the same thing for nurses this week!

PSST: Check Out The Whataburger Secret Menu

The items are available year round, but make sure you're grabbing breakfast items and lunch items during those respective times.
