Everyday items, like toilet paper and cleaning supplies, are usually the more affordable items on your shopping list, but when they go on sale, stocking up means more savings in your bank account. If it’s a product you know you’ll use again and again, why not snag it for the lowest price possible?
With back-to-school season in full swing, Walmart is celebrating the occasion by slashing prices on must-have school supplies. Many of these school supplies also double as essential office supplies, so it’s the perfect time to stock up for both students and remote workers needing to fill their desk drawers. To understand just how impressive these Walmart discounts are, many of them are available for less than $1.
Office supply deals under $1
There are plenty of classroom-specific deals, like markers and crayons, for under $1 with Walmart’s back-to-school savings, but other supplies are handy for any office setup. Discounted to 25 cents each, the Pen+Gear 3-Prong Letter-Size Paper Folder is the most affordable of these deals and can keep your documents and tax returns nicely organized. I personally love having a spiral notebook around the home for writing to-dos, grocery lists, and reminders, and they’re available for as low as 35 cents apiece. Sticky notes and black pens are a staple in any office, and they’re also discounted to less than a dollar.

Office supply deals for $5 or less
If you’re willing to increase your budget to more than one dollar, there are several office-worthy additions for $5 or less. One office supply I will never go without, the Bic Wite-Out EZ Correct Correction Tape, is discounted to under $2. It’s great for hiding errors written in ink or on printed forms. You can get full-sized scissors, perfect for scrapbooking or clipping coupons, for under $2. There are top-rated dry-erase markers in just about every size and color that are discounted to under $5, so you can replace your dried-out ones.

Deals on highlighters and writing utensils
For those who love to mark up and annotate their reports before turning them in, Walmart has deals for you. Sharpie’s innovative clear-view highlighters allow you to see through the tip of the highlighter, so you can ensure you’re lined up correctly on the text before you swipe it across the page. The brand’s three-pack of multicolored highlighters is now under $5.
Sharpie may be best known for black permanent markers, but its lineup of gel pens is incredibly satisfying, with smooth gliding tips that consistently deliver a clean output. With pens constantly disappearing, it’s always a good time to stock up, but that’s especially true when they’re on sale for $5. If you prefer a bit more whimsy from your writing utensil, the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Metallic Pens, with gold, silver, and bronze ink, offer a similar discount.

Office organization deals for $5 or less
If you’re stocking up your office with these Walmart back-to-school deals, you need a way to keep things organized. Many of these current discounts can also be used to streamline your home office. When it comes to arranging your paperwork, you can put all your documents in a three-ring binder to keep them from getting crinkled or ripped. An expanding file is practical for the office, but it’s also helpful for collecting recipe cards or coupons if you don’t want a bulky folder. We’ve even found a variety of desktop and drawer organizers, which are all discounted to $3 or less.
