It is almost hard for me to register that my kids will be heading back to school next week. My family and I got caught up in a whirlwind of the busyness of a myriad of summer activities – and this summer vacation flew within a blink of an eye! The stores are becoming increasingly busy as people are preparing for back-to-school.
I don’t know about you, but the back to school season often leaves my brain in a fog. It can take an effort to remember everything they need after a fun-filled summer when school begins. Thankfully, most schools provide a list of supplies a child will need for the school year! In fact, stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax make school shopping easier than ever with School List With a Click. School List with a Click is an extensive database of over 1.7 million teachers’ school supply lists from over 70,000 schools across the United States. As the lines get longer and longer in preparation for the back-to-school season, I’m happy that I got most of the basics covered.
School List With a Click is a great place to start if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the options or if you want to cover all the basics quickly so you can spend more time shopping for the fun stuff and the things that matter more.

Back to School Shopping at Office Depot
Back to shopping is more than just checking stuff off my list. It’s about preparing my children with the supplies, tools, and support to help them to be able to take on a whole fresh year of challenges. My daughter has been nervous yet excited at the same time since she’ll be starting the 1st grade. Our recent back-to-school trip to Office Depot helped ease her nervousness since she was able to pick out a backpack.
Office Depot has several options of backpacks to select! They have lots of name-brand options for your kids to choose from.
My daughter opted for a simple yet sturdy Summit Ridge Herringbone Backpack. I couldn’t help but marvel in delight since I know it’s a backpack that is made to last throughout the year.
As a child, I quickly learned that cutesy didn’t cut it in regards to having a quality backpack. The cutesy backpacks weren’t able to endure the daily abuse of carrying school books that practically weighed a ton. I had a few where they’d come undone at the seams, causing my books to come tumbling out, which was quite embarrassing!
Times have changed since I was a kid since a very sturdy backpack is even needed in the 1st grade. I remember being astonished by the amount of homework and books that my oldest child brought home when he was in the 1st grade. He practically brought mountains of homework home every week! This is why having a sturdy backpack to withstand the daily wear is a must-have in this day and age.
The only thing that hasn’t changed much since I was school age is the expense! This back to school season, make Office Depot your one-stop destination. On everyday essentials, they will be providing weekly doorbusters and up to 80% off their best-selling school supplies. They have an excellent range of top-brand school supplies all summer long at low prices. This includes exclusive, stylish accessories, backpacks, charms, and stickers. That’s not all! You can also save a bundle on tech products, such as Chromebooks and educational learning tools from Scholastic and Juku.
My kids are all grown but our church has a back-to-school supply drive for families that are going through hard times. Office Depot is a great place for me to shop for supplies to help out the families in my community.
That backpack looks so roomy and makes your daughter seem ready to fill it with all her new supplies. I have to try Office Depot for my son when he goes back.
I’ll have to check out Office Depot! I always forget about the store. We do have some supplies we need to pick up.

We really need to get started on our back to school shopping. I find that Office Depot usually has the stuff we can’t find at other stores, and they really have a good selection. Love that backpack!
We just finished our back to school shopping! I totally forgot about Office Depot. I bet you they had some really good deals. If I ever need anything more for the school I will go there.
I have not been to Office Depot in forever. They really do have the best selection for Back to School stuff. This is a great reminder for me to get some of our homeschool supplies for the three kiddos and get it soon! Summer flew right by, I cannot believe we’re already planning a new school season.
I always loved using Office Depot for back to school shopping. They had some high quality school supplies there.
I need to get started with our back to school routine. Thankfully I’m done shopping because that’s always so stressful
I remember being young and shopping for school supplies before school starts… it’s so fun! New everything. New pens. New erasers. New bag. Hahaha.
I can’t believe back to school is so soon. My daughter starts kindergarten next week and I’m so excited for her. We love shopping at Office Depot too!
There is something about back to school shopping. There were so many great deals this year!
I think starting as early as possible is a key. Most of the time prices surges high when demands increases too. The bag looks wonderful.
Back to school shopping is the most stressful and exciting thing to do with my kids. So happy for you that there is a store like Office Depot that near you to buy school things for your kids.
Its been a while since I bought something for school. Those were the days. Well, enjoy these times with your kids. They are priceless.

We haven’t gone shopping for our son yet. And he def needs a new backpack this year. Those backpacks look nice. I will check them out.
Cute backpack! I can’t believe it’s next week either! So soon.
I have done some back to school shopping at Office Depot. We have gotten some great deals.
The school bags look quite cool. Well, we don’t have office depot in India. However, I have checked the stores during my business trips.
We also have Office Depot in the Philippines. They got nice collection of school and office supplies.
That is a great backpack! I remember trying to organize all the lists (I have 5 kids) to figure out exactly what they needed so I could get the essentials with the least amount of effort. My kids loved picking out their backpacks and binders. We also went through the cute backpack stage, but most of them are not well made. A nice backpack will sometimes last a few years, so I think it is worth the investment.

I need to start thinking about back to school shopping. We have just about 1 month before school starts here
We haven’t started shopping BTS yet! I need to print out the list and start looking for deals!
That backpack looks amazing. I will get it for my sister for sure!
I always buy additional items for my son’s classroom so I love that Office Depot has all the things I needed.
Oh wow, These are so cute. My daughter would love this for sure. Perfect since she is officially going to school.
Nice outfit you bought for her. And the bag looks great too. Looks so spacious and durable.
Back to school shopping now is so fun..! So many great and affordable school supplies this year!
