Walmart prices thousands of back-to-school items under $10

Walmart is aggressively discounting products that are on many back-to-school shopping lists.

The discount giant is offering thousands of back-to-school items, such as pens, backpacks, lunchboxes and apparel, for less than $10. The sale also includes more expensive items such as consumer electronics and appliances.

The Walmart back-to-school promotion includes a number of other features:

• A new one-click food basket which provides two weeks of lunches for about $2 per day. The basket features 16 items, including peanut butter and jelly sandwich ingredients, juice, fruit and snacks, and is available for online and mobile pickup and delivery services through Sept. 15.
• College students who are 18 years of age or older and enrolled in an undergrad or advanced degree program can sign up for the Walmart+ membership program at a 50% discount of $49 per year or $6.47 per month, through Sept. 13.
• A classroom registry tool that lets educators plan, shop and share their classroom wish lists. Registries can be found by searching Walmart’s registry page by the teacher’s last name and state.
• Walmart continues to roll out Caroline’s Carts, shopping carts designed to help caregivers of customers with disabilities navigate the store with a single cart. By January 2025, all U.S. Walmart stores will receive at least one cart, totaling more than 8,000 carts. 
• First-to-market Wonder Nation backpacks, available for $28 with easy grab zipper pulls, an insulated front pocket, compression hip belt with pockets, tactile teddy fleece on shoulder strap and multiple headphone ports, among other features.
