With Amazon’s Prime Day happening today and tomorrow (July 16 and 17), there’s never been a better time to think ahead… no, not quite as far as Christmas, but back-to-school.
You might have a little one starting this September, maybe one heading back for another year and had a growth spurt? Still can’t find their lunchbox, or just in need of some new bits and bobs?
Well Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to get ahead, and save yourself a pretty penny in the meantime too.
There’s a whole bunch of items you can help yourself to – from pens to pencil cases, folders to keep your homework together, shoes, and even a brand new bag.
We remember heading off on our first day of big school, and nothing brought us more joy than purchasing everything (and more) for the year.
As we know all too well, buying school supplies for multiple children can come at quite the cost – thankfully Amazon’s Prime Day is helping your money go that bit further, and one less thing to think about…
We’ve asked the help of our shopping experts to suggest what they’d be shopping in the two-day sales extravaganza – but let us know in the comments if we’ve missed anything.
