Back to school season means new back-to-school supplies, new school clothes, new sneakers (that actually fit), a new backpack, and a whole lot of new emotions to navigate. You have enough going on and are probably already spending more money than you’d like on all the things, so we’re here to help you out. (Parenthood, right?)

Stocking up on planners, #2 pencils, glue sticks, and 3-ring binders shouldn’t put a wrench in your budget this back-to-school season. (And don’t forget a first day of school sign for your kiddo to hold for a picture-perfect moment.) So, we compiled this cheap school supply checklist, all of which are available on Amazon, to make your shopping easier and less expensive.

There are plenty of products that are highly-rated — we even found ones that are made from decent materials. Plus, if you save serious cash during back-to-school shopping, you can spend more money pampering yourself. You deserve it after the fresh hell you survived prepping your kids for a year of success.
