The chill in the air is fading, you’re making summer plans for your kiddos…and believe it or not, it’s time to start stocking up on school supplies to make sure your little ones are prepared when August rolls around.

The good news is that spring is the perfect time to take advantage of discounts on school supplies. Instead of running from one store to another, looking for sold-out glue sticks the week before school begins, take a look at these deals, buy now, and stay ahead of the game.

Backpacks

Buying your child’s fall backpack now will save you a significant amount of money. If your child is planning on picking up any sports or extracurricular activities this fall, this is also a good time to check out sales on sports bags, gym bags, or even an extra backpack so it’s easier for them to haul their gear.

Some of our favorite backpack sales include:

General Supplies

It’s amazing how quickly little ones go through pencils and erasers, isn’t it? There’s no better time to stock up than now. Pro tip: If you already know who your child’s teacher will be in the fall, ask them for a copy of their supply list.

  • Head to Walmart to get 24-packs of Crayola crayons and 12-packs of Crayola colored pencils for just $1.44 (50% off!).
  • Get personalized, dishwasher-safe labels for under $18 from Mabel’s Label’s that will ensure the right water bottle, lunchbox, and pencil box comes home with your little one.
  • Save 16% on BIC mechanical pencils at Amazon.
  • Get 43% off a 3-pack of erasers at Staples.

Clothes

Have you noticed ankles starting to peek out of your little one’s sweatpants? They grow so fast! It’s tough to keep up with your kid getting taller by the week. That’s why it’s important to invest in clothes that seem slightly too big right now but will fit just right in a few months (by the time school starts).

Here are some of our favorite sales you can take advantage of now:

Lunch Boxes

We recommend having at least two lunchboxes in your rotation, especially if you pack lunch for your little one regularly. Spills happen, lunchboxes get left on the bus, and it’s always nice to have a spare tucked away.

Some of our favorite lunchbox deals right now include:

  • Save up to 20% on pre-made bento box bundles from Bentgo®.
  • Save 30% on certain Igloo insulated lunch boxes at Target.
  • Save up to 42% on select lunch boxes from Lands’ End.
  • Get 30% off select bento lunch boxes from Skip Hop.

If you have a college student gearing up for the new semester, we found an amazing resource that covers everything your kid needs to know about dorm life, organization, and must-have essentials.

Alyssa here! I'm a stay at home Mama of three and married to my Husband for almost 10 years now. Before having babies I worked in nursing homes in Occupational Therapy for over 7 years. Lately, with 3 kids under 5 it seems my only hobby is being a Mom (and online shopping lol) but when I make the time I enjoy hot yoga, scrapbooking, and reading. I’m a summer girl at heart and love being in the sunshine and near water. As a family we love to travel, go camping, and spend time at our property in Northern Michigan. My favorite place to unwind is a local coffee shop where I grab a cappuccino and catch up on all the latest deals and sales to share with you all! My style? Always leggings, sweaters, and when I get a night out I love jeans and cute bodysuit!
