Walmart is ready to help customers prepare for an exciting back-to-school season with a convenient shopping experience and everyday low prices so students and teachers can get everything on their list in one place!
Back-to-school shopping should be fun and affordable, and Walmart is there to make sure customers won’t have to choose between what they want and what they need.
Studio 814’s Rebecca Petner chats with Reese Boggetta, Coach, General Merchandise at the Walmart in Altoona, and Marijayne Walters, Coach, Digital at the Walmart in Huntingdon.
Walmart has the must-have items on the top of back-to-school checklists at low prices customers can count on, and this year, they are offering more than 100 of the top school supplies under $1. This includes filler paper, folders and pencils starting at just a quarter.
Parents’ top priorities when shopping back to school this year are making sure their kids are happy with what they purchase while being as efficient as they can with their budget. At Walmart, customers don’t have to compromise. They have worked hard to ensure back-to-school essentials from Walmart are affordable so that the special additions – like the Justice Glitter Pencil Case and Minecraft Backpack – can make it into the cart as well.
In fact, they have held prices on top back-to-school items like Crayola 20 Count Broad Line Classic Markers ($5.37), Pen + Gear 48 Count Wood Pencils ($3.88), Norcum College Ruled Filler Paper ($.87) for the past three years to ensure they are delivering on our everyday low price promise for our customers.
Some of the must-have items for this year’s back-to-school season include:
Cool new tech for under $100 like the onn. Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones, onn. 7” tablet and the HP 11.6″ Chromebook.
The latest merchandise from top franchises such as Spider Man, Paw Patrol and L.O.L Surprise OMG.
Fresh fashion finds at affordable prices from top brands including Justice, Free Assembly and Scoop.
On-trend and affordable dorm and apartment décor like a Mainstays Faux Fur Butterfly Folding Chair, on-trend clear acrylic desk organization solutions from The Home Edit and chic statement pieces like this Better Homes & Gardens Faux Aloe Plant.
