Here Are 7 Ways Dollar General Is Making Back-To-School Stress Manageable

We can all agree that back-to-school looks a little (or a lot) different this year. But one thing hasn’t changed: you‘ve still got a list and you still need everything on it. With everything else going on, staring down the back-to-school shopping list can seem like the very last straw.

But when you think about it, shopping for new school supplies is the normalcy we need right now. And from snacks to backpacks, and lots of stuff in between, you can ace back-to-school shopping at your neighborhood Dollar General. Here are seven ways Dollar General has your back as your one-stop back-to-school shop:

1. Grab Everything for the Kids for Less

When you leave Dollar General with your bags full of everything the kids need and, hey, maybe a few things you want too. Because, my gosh, you really are the hero of this family. You’ll silently congratulate yourself for knowing how to nail BTS shopping on the first trip. Plus, with a $5 off $15 digital coupon available now through September 12th, you can get even more stuff for them.

2. Snacks on Snacks on Snacks

Snacking is certainly not a seasonal thing. Kids need so. many. snacks. And then some more snacks! At Dollar General, you can maintain your supply without breaking the bank. They’ve got JiF peanut butter, 4-packs of Pringles, and Clover Valley cereal bars; not to mention an entire selection of great priced, delicious dollar snacks. We’ve also heard those ham and cheese lunch kits make an excellent in-car snack for moms. Allegedly.

3. All the Write Stuff

Dollar General has the pencils, markers, crayons, binders, planners, office paper and everything else they’ll need for school assignments. And they’ve got the brands you love – like BIC pencils, erasable highlighter and Sharpie markers. Tell the kids to take note.

4. Supplies for Those Last Minute Projects

It happens every year: the casual “Oh, Mom, I have a lifelike 3D diorama due tomorrow.” Stock up now on art needs to save yourself the panicked last-minute supply run. Dollar General has the markers, crayons, scissors and tape you’ll want to have on hand. And hey, Elmer’s glue sticks are under two bucks. You can also grab oodles of art and craft supplies that will save you during crunch time like Peel-N-Stick poster letters, tacky glue and canvas boards. Thank us later.

5. The Brands You Love

From Sharpie markers to erasable highlighters to Expo dry-erase markers and BIC highlighters; you’ll see national brands you know and love like Chips Ahoy!, Lance, and Oreo when you walk into Dollar General. The only difference? The money you’ll save. Get the brands they want and save while doing it.

6. From Cute Face Masks to Classroom Basics for Less

This year, face masks are a new item on the supply list and Dollar General has cute ones to boot. You’ll also save on all the classroom basics like hand sanitizer, bleach wipes, tissues, paper towels and coffee pods. Drop the pods off on the first day and make a great impression on your kids’ teacher (even if that’s you).

7. The Stuff They (and You) Want

It’s nice to know you can get everything they need at Dollar General. But it’s a bonus when you can get them a few things they want. Like a backpack with their favorite character. Or a new pair of wireless headphones. And you may or may not pick up a Lisa Frank color and activity book (with stickers!) for yourself. No one needs to know.

Dollar General has it all; at prices that won’t drain your wallet. But the real value of Dollar General isn’t just saved cash, but saved time too…including how much time it takes to shop the bigger retail stores. You’ll get your whole list for less – and shop closer to home. What’s not to love!
