Target’s current back-to-school selection includes discounts on classroom supplies, calculators, writing tools, notebooks, backpacks and selected children’s products. Many of the lowest-priced offers are designed for families buying multiple supplies at once rather than purchasing a single expensive device.
One notable technology-related offer is the Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator, listed at $94.99 compared with a regular price of $110.59. The product is marketed with 35MB of storage and compatibility with SAT and ACT testing. Students should still confirm the calculator requirements provided by their school or course instructor before purchasing, because some classes permit simpler models while others require specific functions.
Target is also advertising discounts on everyday supplies. Current listings include a four-pack of Expo dry-erase markers for $4.49, Sharpie S-Gel pens for $4.89 and a 40-pack of BIC mechanical pencils for $7.49.
Several especially inexpensive offers are scheduled to remain available beyond the first week of August. Target lists Crayola 24-count crayons for $0.50, selected up&up notebooks for $0.99, a two-hole pencil sharpener for $0.49 and selected Five Star folders for $2.39. The listed expiration dates vary by promotion, with several offers extending to September 19 or later.
The smartest strategy is to separate essential items from optional upgrades. Purchase teacher-requested notebooks, folders, writing tools and calculators first. Compare backpacks, headphones, tablets and other higher-cost items across multiple stores before deciding.
Families should also check whether a discounted product is available for local pickup, because availability and pricing can differ by store. Promotional prices may expire, and some offers apply only to selected colors, package sizes or Target Circle accounts. Confirm the final price in the cart before completing the purchase.
