The Easiest Way to Shop for Your Own School Supplies

School supply shopping is always so exciting for kids – but it can be daunting for moms! If you do want to do it yourself online, Target is the best place to start.

We’ve found that this is the most organized site to start before you run to endless stores to find the exact items you need–with each child having a different list, it can get overwhelming. Plus, during prime season, often items end up out of stock. Enter Target! From experience, we have found that the Target website offered a seamless and easy back-to-school shopping experience.

Their site has pretty much everything you need on your back-to-school list. The website is visually broken down in a way that makes it so easy and FUN to browse! Reserve one evening to shop along with our kids and they will love this experience as much as the in person back to school shopping – you can even get same day pickup & delivery if its available in your area.

Here’s the best place to start. The Back to School page is broken down into easy to shop categories.

They also have the feature to shop by grade.

If there’s anything you can’t find just use their search feature – there’s almost always everything you need on their site – making it your one stop back to school shop for all! Plus the kids get excited all over again as the boxes arrive!

    There is nothing like shopping for supplies in person! It creates such good memories and makes them feel special on the first day.

    We do this every year! My kids get special time to sit and go through their list with me and love sorting through everything when it comes. So much less overwhelming and we can choose a few special things without the craziness of being in a store and needing everything in sight. Still plenty of nice “mommy time” memories and a lot less stress. They definitely feel special on the first day with all the things they chose!

      I totally agree! We do this every year. I sit with each kid separately and open Amazon, Target & Walmart and we sort through it all. Some of it is available for same day delivery or pickup and they love seeing everything in person. It definitely helps with the “I want everything I see” syndrome!

    I do the same. I shop for each child separately (& place the orders separately) so we don’t forget which notebook was for which child!

      Love this idea of placing each order separately! I will try to remember for next year. It’s always a job to sort the orders when they come. Thank you!
