August is here, which, for many parents, means their kids will soon be heading back to school (if they haven’t already) and in need of new supplies. Although tradition suggests taking your kids to the store to get ready for the school year, it’ll probably save you time and money to take advantage of Amazon’s back-to-school sales. 

Whether your little one goes to daycare or is heading off to kindergarten, you likely have a long list of supplies that’ll set them up for a successful year. From notebooks and pens to clothes and organizers, Amazon is likely to have everything on your list — and most of it is probably on sale. No more dragging your child from store to store or wasting a gorgeous summer day inside. 

But even if you don’t have a child who is heading off to school this fall, there are still some Amazon back-to-school deals that can benefit you. For instance, Amazon’s dorm deals include lots of organizers and storage solutions that work just as well for a nursery or playroom. And don’t even get me started on the cute baby and toddler clothes included in the sale. 

Ahead, we’ve rounded up Amazon’s best back-to-school deals on tech gear, school supplies, clothes, shoes and more.

FAQs

Because schools start at different times across the country, back-to-school sales typically start in late July and run through the beginning of September. Since most schools are back in session sometime during August, that is the month when you’ll usually find the most back-to-school deals. They usually end after Labor Day weekend, when you’ll also find a surge in sales.
