While many children are heading back to school in person over the next few weeks, that doesn’t necessarily mean parents and caregivers are all that comfortable going shopping in busy, crowded stores for school supplies. With mask policies being a bit unclear right now, snagging classroom essentials from the comfort of your own home might be the better way to do it.
Fortunately, Walmart’s best back-to-school deals are readily available on their website. Whether you’re shopping for elementary-age kids or older students, Walmart has must-haves for all grades at really great prices.
