Lunch and Hydration Essentials on Sale
Keeping kids fed and hydrated through the school day starts with the right gear.

For drinks, a leakproof stainless steel water bottle with a straw lid and double-wall insulation keeps beverages cold until the end of the school day. The bottle is dishwasher-safe, sized for smaller hands and built to handle daily use. A bento-style lunch box, discounted at 17 percent off, offers five compartments to keep food separated and a leakproof design to prevent spills from reaching the rest of a child’s backpack.
Backpacks, Organizers and Study Tools
A Disney Cars backpack aimed at younger students features a main zippered compartment, a front pocket and two side mesh pockets, along with padded adjustable straps and a bonus pencil case. For older students, a locker organization kit discounted at 34 percent includes a whiteboard, dry erase marker, mirror, magnetic storage cup and two magnets to help keep supplies in order between classes.
High school and college students can take advantage of a 30 percent discount on a Sharp scientific calculator that supports 146 functions, covering pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry and general science. An electric pencil sharpener, down 17 percent, offers three settings for different pencil types and sharpens a pencil in roughly five seconds. It runs on USB power or two AA batteries, making it a practical addition to any homework station.
Notebooks, Markers and Classroom Supplies
A six-pack of college-ruled notebooks in pastel shades, marked down 20 percent, makes subject color-coding straightforward. The pages resist ink bleed-through and tear out cleanly along perforated edges when assignments need to be submitted. Correction tape on sale at 20 percent off allows students to cover writing errors with a dry, tear-resistant film they can write over immediately.
Crayola’s 20-count washable marker set carries a significant 68 percent discount and features super tips capable of producing both thin and thick lines. The markers are nontoxic and washable, making them suitable for a range of school projects. For students who annotate their notes, a set of slim Sharpie pastel highlighters at 43 percent off offers narrow chisel tips designed for highlighting, underlining and smear-resistant note-taking.
Additional Picks Worth Considering
Rounding out the back-to-school deals is a foaming hand soap made with 98 percent naturally derived ingredients, currently 11 percent off. Its pear and vanilla scent appeals to younger children, and the easy pump design encourages independent handwashing after school. Other notable items available include the Owala SmoothSip water bottle at $32.04, the Yodo Playful Kids Lunch Box at $23.88, a Quartet magnetic whiteboard for $9.99, a Kipling laptop backpack at $143.27 and an Aesthetic Daily Planner priced at $12.99.
