Back-to-School on a Budget: $15.79 Backpack, Shoes From $29.99, Up to 30% Off Clothes & More

Back-to-school shopping can add up quickly, but a few well-timed deals can take some pressure off the budget. Right now, you can find a clear backpack for $15.79 at Walmart, athletic shoes from $29.99 and up to 30% off select clothes and shoes at Academy Sports + Outdoors, plus school-supply savings and rewards at CVS and Walgreens.

Clear Backpack at Walmart for $15.79 - Save $12.20

Pick up the KOITHOT heavy-duty clear backpack for $15.79, down from $27.99. The waterproof design has a roomy main compartment, front organizer pocket, bottle holder, and reinforced straps. If school requires a clear bag - or you need one for college, stadium events, or travel - getting it for nearly half the regular price can check one larger item off the list.

Athletic Shoes From $29.99 at Academy Sports + Outdoors

Shop select athletic shoes from Nike, adidas, and other popular brands starting at $29.99. Prices and included styles vary across the sale selection. A new pair of sneakers is one of the back-to-school purchases that can get expensive quickly, so checking the sale before paying regular price is an easy place to save.

Shop Athletic Shoes

Up to 30% Off Clothes & Shoes at Academy Sports + Outdoors

Save up to 30% on qualifying clothing and footwear, including select Nike styles. Discounts vary across the featured assortment. If kids need more than one outfit, activewear, or school-ready basics, a broader clothing sale can be more useful than chasing discounts on individual pieces.
