Making a Target run for back-to-school shopping is a given for many families, teachers and students. The popular big box retailer has everything from basic school supplies and clothing to sheets and lamps for settling into a new dorm room.
However, teachers and students are all on a tight budget, so savings is definitely a must-have on the back-to-school shopping list.
This season, Target is introducing new savings on top items for back-to-school and back-to-college, offering both style and value.
Customers can shop Target-exclusive brands like Cat & Jack, Art Class, Mondo Llama, Room Essentials and Brightroom, alongside national brand favorites like Crayola, Jansport and more.
New this year is the enhanced School List Assist feature, available within the Target app. School List Assist is Target’s popular tool that helps families find their child’s class supply list, add to cart and choose their delivery method in three easy steps.
20-for-$20 Supplies List
For the first time, Target is introducing a list of 20 must-have school supplies that add up to less than $20 in total. The list offers 20 popular supplies, including colored pencils, liquid glue, notebooks and more.
Summit Ridge Kids’ $5 Backpack
Target is offering high-quality backpacks for just $5. Available in a range of colors and patterns, from solid blues and blacks to multi-colored floral designs, the backpacks provide an affordable option for students to showcase their personal style.
It is the lowest−priced backpack Target has offered in more than 10 years.
Thousands of Back-to-College Essentials Under $20
From bedding and bath to storage, kitchen and more, Target has everything college students need to prep their dorm or apartment on a budget.
Find thousands of college essentials for under $20. For example, find twin XL sheet sets and towel 4-packs for less than $10.
Lower Prices on School Lunches & Snacks
As part of Target’s ongoing price reductions, families will also enjoy lower prices on thousands of food and beverage items as they shop for school lunches, afterschool snacks and weeknight meals, including bread, peanut butter, produce, lunchbox snacks, crackers, fruit snacks, cookies, kids’ beverages and more.
