Hey, college students! A new school year is about to begin, which means it’s time go back-to-school shopping.

However, between brand new tech and a whole dorm setup, your college essentials can quickly add up. That’s why it’s best to stock up on all of your must-haves now while prices are still low.

Come September, it’ll be too late to get in on these back-to-school deals and you’ll be back to paying full price.

For example, you can score almost 50% off a pair of bluetooth headphones (perfect for drowning out your loud roommate) or get a Hydro Flask reusable water bottle for $25 (usually $40). And you’ll be able to get 30% off site wide at the Container Store.

If you’re thinking about putting off your back to school shopping, don’t. Shop these early-bird deals instead, and save on everything from dorm decor to organization.
