School will be in session very soon! Whether you’ve already started your back-to-school shopping or are just getting started, we’ve found some great last-minute deals to help you save. Shopping for school can be stressful, but we’ve included tips below to help you spend less on the essentials. You’ll find deals from your favorite stores like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more.
We recommend shopping for supplies sooner rather than later, as popular items tend to sell out fast. If school starts in just a week, don’t worry—you can still find what you need on Amazon and get it delivered before the first day. Also, consider shopping at local stores using pickup options. This can save you time and help you avoid unnecessary trips.
Amazon has a wide selection of school supplies for all ages—and don’t forget about college students heading back this fall! Lastly, supporting a teacher’s wishlist is a thoughtful way to give back, whether it’s for your child’s classroom or a relative who teaches.
Haven’t received your supply list yet? Don’t panic—you’ll likely get it during Open House or shortly before. Be sure to read the list carefully, as some items are optional suggestions. And if money is tight, check out local Back-to-School events. Many offer free supplies, though you may need to register or arrive early to participate in giveaways.
