When you’re filling your shopping cart at Walmart with back-to-school supplies, you can reach a $50 budget quickly. But if you shop smart, you can rack up the savings.
For example, if you buy a 64-count box of Crayola Crayons, you’ll pay $3.96 for the box. But if you opt for the Cra-Z-Art brand of 64-count colors, you’ll pay over $1 less at $2.68. If you can save 50 cents to $1 or more on each school supply item by shopping smart, think of how much you’ll save.
These single glue sticks are purple (but dry clear), which helps kids see where they’ve applied glue. Plus, the glue easily washes away with soap and water, which is always a plus for easy clean-up. Save money by picking up a multipack of six for $2.97 .
Two-pocket folders are great for keeping papers organized, and at 25 cents each, you can afford to buy them for multiple subjects. They’re sturdy and come in multiple colors, which makes it easy for kids to keep their work easily accessible.
This 50-count set of pre-sharpened, premium-quality colored pencils is perfect for school projects like coloring maps. The vibrant, smooth colors are also ideal for color mixing. If you don’t need 50 colors, you can pick up a Pen+Gear set of 24 for $2.44 .
Crayola’s eight-color watercolor set features 30% more paint than its competitors, which means more bang for your buck. Additionally, if your young artist gets any of the paint on their clothes or skin, cleanup is a breeze with soap and water.
A backpack is a must-have to tote school essentials. For under $5, this one has plenty of space with a main compartment and front zip pocket. It’s also available in designs suitable for boys and girls, like unicorns or dinosaurs.
Pencils are a must for students. Buying a pack (or two) of 24 pencils will ensure your child is always prepared for math problems, achievement tests and writing assignments.
This pencil box is the perfect, affordable solution for storing pencils, erasers and other school essentials. It’s also sturdy and fits easily into a backpack if needed.
Filler paper is the go-to for school note-taking and assignments. Walmart has 150-sheet packs in wide-ruled or college-ruled options for under $1, which means you can stock up.
This 1-inch D-ring binder offers the perfect place to store filler paper. If a larger-size binder is needed, Walmart offers a 2-inch option for $4.94 .
Highlighters are great for emphasizing important notes. This four-pack of highlighters is chisel-tipped for precise highlighting and includes yellow, orange, green and pink highlighters. Walmart also offers a pack of yellow highlighters if you don’t want the multicolored option.
A bento box is fantastic for packing a lunch without using plastic bags or additional containers. Its four compartments help keep food separated and fresh. Plus, it has an embedded plastic fork and spoon and a dressing container.
