Back-to-School Essentials for Under $100

Jul 15, 2024

You’ve already shopped the back-to-school supply list, which includes stocking up on enough No. 2 pencils, highlighters and red pens to last two school years, buying a half-dozen colored binders and investing in the holy grail of scientific calculators to satisfy your teens and tweens. And, tax-free weekends on the horizon mean you can shop back-to-school sales and put together outfits for less than $100 — no tax involved. Here’s how to get your kids ready for those early a.m. wakeups, late-night study sessions and everything in between.

Back-to-School Backpacks

What’s a new school year without a fresh, new backpack loaded with books, binders and half-empty water bottles? Here are a few wallet-friendly options when picking a pack for school:

Chilly classrooms? No problem! Send them to school with cozy options that’ll help their concentration. Here are a few fleece pieces that balance style and budget:


Socks

You can never have too many socks. Before you buy them, make sure you know the sneaker style your kids prefer. For higher-cut shoes, they might want ankle-height or quarter-height socks. Low top kicks? Try crew or athletic socks made with moisture-wicking materials and anti-odor technology. We love:

Other must-haves:

  • Lunch deserves a little love, too! Our go-to totes offer sturdy construction, cool-keeping insulation and multiple compartments.
  • It’s back to school and back to sports. Choose sports bags that can hold sweaty gym clothes and after-school sports gear.
