When do school supplies go on sale at walmart

Ready for back-to-school shopping? Target is.

The Minneapolis-headquartered retailer is kicking its back-to-school and back-to-college sales promotions into gear this week with some special deals including 20 classroom essentials, priced collectively for $20, and some snazzy $5 backpacks.

Target's back-to-school season begins as the retailer is the midst of Target Circle Week, which it described as its "biggest sale of the season." Specials during Target Circle Week include 30% off select backpacks, kids' school uniforms and school supplies.

Also vying for shoppers' attention: the "Walmart Deals" event, which starts today, and includes deals on back-to-school items and electronics; and Amazon Prime Day, coming July 16-17, although some early deals have already dropped.

With consumers concerned about high prices, Target back in May said it would cut prices on 5,000 items.

Other retailers, including Walmart and grocers such as Aldi, have followed suit, and fast-food chains like McDonald's, Taco Bel
