Target has promised not to raise the costs of items back in school this year, and is sighing relief to customers who enjoyed the 2024 price.
Shoppers can also see a list of $20 required equipment for under $20 last year, as well as the top five backpacks selling $5 backpacks.
“This is a very important time for those preparing to return to class or for those preparing to go to school for the first time,” Target’s Executive Vice President Trick Gomez said in a news release. “The Target team is there for the family, retaining the prices of last year’s major school supplies and getting taller for unparalleled style, quality and outstanding value.
The retailer also vowed to offer discounts to students and teachers. This summer is the company’s annual target circle week event with special deals for school supplies, electronics and other products.
