In the northeast, it’s already starting to feel like autumn. The leaves aren’t yet turning orange, yellow, and beautiful shades of red, but it is getting much colder outside, especially at night with the sun setting earlier. And, well, the air smells of football, pumpkins, and dewy grass. Let’s face it: Summer is ending, and school is starting back up for college and K-12 students.Â

Whether or not you’re ready, it’s officially time to say begin back-to-school shopping, either for yourself or for your kid. With prices reaching an all-time high with inflation, it can feel like a mammoth task to stretch your dollar. But there are great deals to be found if you know where to look — and we hunted them down for you. Â
We hand-picked products that students need for school, and we ran each of these items through price trackers to ensure you’re getting a deal. Anything less than 15% off we didn’t include — we don’t view 10% off deals as a true deal. And anything that was purposefully price gouged to look like a deal has been left off the list, too, ensuring you truly are getting a great deal on these items.
Here, then, are some of the best deals to be found on school supplies on Amazon.Â
