We’re already halfway through the summer, which means it’s time to put back-to-school shopping on the mind (sigh). Whether you have kids are entering kindergarten or heading off to college, parents know how daunting it is to ensure they have all the necessities they need for a successful school year. That’s why Target is making things simple and offering a savings event that saves families over 67% off on school supplies, backpacks, and more.
“Back-to-School Days” deals are live from July 27 until August 2, and feature thousands of savings across multiple categories, including school supplies. This year, the retailer is holding 2024 prices on its sale items, which means parents can spend as little as $20 on school supplies that include the top 20 must-have essentials. Additionally, there are a total of 1,000 items on sale for under $5 to help families stay on track during the back-to-school season.
“Getting ready for a new school year should be an exciting time for families,” Target’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Rick Gomez, said in a press release. “That’s why I’m proud of the way the Target team has leaned in to create an experience that’s fun, stylish, and affordable. With great deals on essentials, fun personalization events in hundreds of stores, and even more savings for Target Circle members, we’re ready to help families everywhere get the new school year off to a great start.”
Here’s a quick glimpse of what will be on sale at Target during the savings event:
- 25% off select kids’ apparel.
- 30% off select kids’ shoes.
- 30% off backpacks from All in Motion and Cat & Jack.
- 20% off select Bentgo and Thermos lunch items.
- 20% off Hanes socks and underwear.
