One of the best-kept secrets of bargain shopping is that back-to-school sales are actually for everyone, not just students and teachers. I’ve been covering these save-a-thons for a decade as a shopping editor, so I can tell you firsthand that they hold some pretty hard-to-beat discounts on bestselling tech, decor, storage, appliances and beyond. Walmart’s current back-to-school deals are real-time proof of it. Among all the glue sticks and safety scissors, I found a slew of universally adored items — and I singled out A+ picks below (some as much as 75% off!).
One of my favorites is this lightweight Chromebook laptop-tablet hybrid that streams video like a dream. It was $430, but it’s been reduced to just $189. And that 75%-off deal? It’s for a pair of Bluetooth earbuds that rival AirPods, according to some five-star reviewers. There’s also a set of cozy bed sheets with 15,000 perfect ratings that’s 60% off in all sizes, not just a dorm-friendly twin; in fact, the queen set is less than $23. Even the home office essentials are at rock-bottom prices; I found a rolling organizer that’s down to $16 (was $37) and a package of 10 Bic pens on sale for just $1.
