This Is the Only Back-to-School Shopping Guide You’ll Need

Must read

We’re more than halfway through summer, and while our minds are still set on summer travel, backyard games and serious vacation chill time, we know the time to head back to school is right around the corner. 

Shopping early for back-to-school deals saves money and stress, which comes in handy with prices for just about everything on the rise. It’s definitely not too early to find deals on backpacks, lunch boxes, pencil cases and kids’ shoes for the 2024-2025 school year. The cool kids know having great pencils, highlighters, markers, pens, calculators, folders, planners and notebooks can help students stay organized and prepared for the entire academic year.

For kids heading off to a university, back-to-school shopping is a whole different ballgame. Campus life calls for dorm room essentials like mattress toppers, XL-twin sheets, mini-fridges and dorm decor. There’s no more borrowing last-minute necessities from Mom and Dad when you’re away at college, so phone cases, phone chargers, on-campus fashion and laundry supplies, plus backpacks, school bags and luggage for carrying it all back and forth are key.

No matter what grade you or your kid are heading into, technology essentials are a big deal in this digital age. It’s a good thing tech items like tablets, laptops, smartphones and even TVs from top brands including Apple, Samsung and Lenovo are already being discounted ahead of the first day of school.
