7 Best Items To Buy at Aldi Before School Starts

As the back-to-school season approaches, it’s time to think about buying school supplies. One of the best places to find affordable and high-quality school supplies is ALDI.

The Hinkler My School Years Journal is a fantastic way to capture and preserve school memories. Priced at just $10, this journal is designed to document each school year, from kindergarten to senior year of high school. It includes sections for photos, achievements and memorable moments, making it a cherished keepsake for both students and parents.

Scissors are a basic yet essential school supply, and ALDI offers a set of four for just $3. There are options in blue, grey, green, and a fun polka dot design. If you have several school-aged children, or just want to make sure there are scissors in every room, this multi-pack is a great deal. Whether it’s for arts and crafts projects or homework assignments, these scissors will get the job done.

Some children struggle to keep school supplies organized, but with a handy pencil case organization can become an easy habit. These $6 pencil boxes come in cute designs such as unicorns, sharks, and space. They are spacious enough to hold pencils, pens, erasers and other small items, making it easy for your kid to keep their supplies in order. These pencil boxes also coordinate with ALDI’s lunchboxes and backpacks!

A good lunchbox is essential for keeping lunch cold, and ALDI offers matching Lily & Dan lunchboxes for $9 that coordinate with their pencil boxes. Available in the same unicorn, shark, and space designs, these lunchboxes are practical and stylish. They are insulated to keep food fresh and come with easy-to-clean interiors, making them perfect even for messy eaters. 

To complete the coordinated look, ALDI offers matching backpacks for $15. These backpacks feature the same unicorn, shark, and space designs as the pencil boxes and lunchboxes. They feature multiple compartments to help students stay organized, including a main compartment for books and notebooks, and smaller pockets for accessories. The straps are padded for comfort even during long days carrying heavy textbooks.

You’ll find notebooks on every school’s supply list, and ALDI’s Pembrook 3-Pack Notebook Set offers both quality and variety at an affordable price of $9, which is just $3 per notebook. These notebooks come in either solid colors or trendy patterns. Each notebook features a durable plastic cover and the sets are solid colors or fun patterns. 

Adding a personal touch to your child’s lunchbox can make their day a bit brighter, and ALDI’s packs of lunch notes are perfect for this. For only $4, these notes come in a variety of themes, including animals, colors, and fruits, each containing a cute and uplifting message. These notes are a simple yet effective way to show your child you’re thinking of them even when they’re at school.
