If you’re a value shopper with kids, there’s a good chance you’ve already been looking for back-to-school deals.
One of the places you’ve looked likely is Kohl’s. After all, they offer discounts and a variety of student-friendly products throughout the year.
While shopping, don’t forget to check out Kohl’s cash deals and rewards for members. Here are the eight best items to buy at Kohl’s before school starts.
Backpack and Lunch Bag Set
Say goodbye to the days of having to buy separate backpacks and lunch boxes – now your kids can get them as matching sets. For under $20, you can score this two-piece set.Â
You may want to buy it soon. Not only does it have a low price, but it’s an item that’s likely to go quickly.
Performance Backpack
If your kid prefers to buy just a backpack, Kohl’s has lots of options. Now may be the time to act, since they’ve got sales ahead of the back-to-school rush.
A durable option for your student may be a New Balance core performance pack. For now, it’s about half off at $20.Â
Colorful Socks
Here’s a fun way to head back to class in style. These kids’ Nike six-pack dri-FIT performance crew socks come in cool colors like rainbow options and other choices. Not only are they on sale in July for about $16, but they’re quite popular.

Girls Jean Shorts
Kohl’s is also offering lower prices in July on girls’ clothing.
That includes SO jean bermuda shorts for about $12 – that includes a pretty big discount from the regular price near $20. You may also be happy to know that Kohl’s said these shorts are produced using less water and are sustainably sourced.
