Back to School Tech and Bulk Supplies Deals

Whether you’re heading back to school yourself or you have a child heading to college or making his or her way back go grade or high school, now is the time to start buying much-needed supplies, clothing and tech gadgets for several reasons.

One, a lot of states have tax-free weekend and weeks going on now that you don’t want to miss out on. Depending on how much you spend, you can wind up saving over $50 in saved sales taxes. (Get a list of the weekends here!)

Also, a lot of retailers are deeply discounted their items now in hopes of a sales surge before school starts. If you live in a rural area where your nearest Walmart, Target or big box office supply store is miles and miles away, you can head online and purchase some items in bulk to last the entire school year and score the same amount of discount as offered to brick and mortar retail shoppers.

Here is a roundup of some common back to school items with bulk deals from Amazon.com
