In July, research indicated back-to-school deals would continue later on this time around, maybe even into September. We're going into the third weekend in August, and I'm still getting offers sent to my inbox. So, I wanted to share!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL OFFERS:

RetailMeNot highlights 15 of the best back-to-school offers they're seeing right now. Here are a few from their list.

Students looking for an eligible Apple Mac or iPad can score education pricing and free AirPods, saving hundreds of dollars!

Kohl's, JCPenney and Macy's are offering steep discounts on clothing, shoes, backpacks, lunch boxes, dorm items, some face masks and more.

Target and Walmart still have great deals on school supplies, including tech and clothing.

INSIDER TIPS TO SAVE AT TARGET:

Here's a separate article from RetailMeNot about insider tips on how to save at Target, and I'll highlight a few here.

Shop early in the week, on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Target tends to place yellow or red stickers on products with a discounted price, and they either make their way to an end cap or the seasonal section.

Also, check out the clearance section online, where thousands of items are half off.

TIPS FOR GETTING ROOMS READY FOR REMOTE LEARNING:

Separately, I received an email about Bed Bath & Beyond working with sister brand, Decorist, an online interior design service, to offer free tips on how to make your student's room ready for remote learning, and for some, how to turn an actual "home" room into a dorm room.
