If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission.

Summer isn’t over yet — and as students are enjoying every last second of class-free life, now’s an opportune time to stock up on school supplies. Online and brick-and-mortar retailers are slashing prices on everything from clothing and backpacks to paper and digital notebooks, which is why we’ve rounded up the best back-to-school sales.

Pro tip: Take advantage of mass retailers’ curbside pickup options, which allow you to buy online and easily pick up your order at a location near your home, office or school. This shopping method saves you time from browsing in stores, and you can easily return items if you realize one of your purchases (say, furniture that’s slightly too big for a small space) won’t work out.
