4 Steps To Fill Their Backpack For Less

Check out our top finds for back-to-school, including backpacks, pencils, lunch totes, notebooks, and more.

Whether your student adores licensed looks featuring their favorite cartoons, follows the latest trends (western vibes, anyone?), or prefers a timeless style like denim and hoodies, Gabe's has you covered with the best deals on everything you need—from style to supplies—for back to school.

Step 1 — Find The Right Style & Price: Backpacks as low as $7.99

Kick off the back-to-school season with a backpack that meets your student's needs and showcases their unique style, all while saving big on top brands at low prices. With so many to choose from, it’s easy to find the right style and price.

Step 2 — Fill The Big Pocket: Shop Supplies Under $1, $3 & $6!

Begin with larger supplies to fill the big pocket, including lunch boxes, notebooks, and folders for organizing homework, starting under $1. 

Depending on your student's workload, assign a notebook and folder to each subject or save space by splitting them into sections. Budget Hack: Use sticky notes to create the labels—easy to re-position and replace!

Step 3 — Utilize Smaller Storage: Score Essentials For Less

Use small storage areas like interior or exterior pockets for writing supplies, mini hand sanitizers, lip balm, tissues, and tech.

Organization Tip: Divide the supplies into separate pencil pouches: one for classroom essentials like pens, pencils, highlighters, and glue sticks, another for headphones and chargers, and a third for self-care products.

Just In Case Kit: Must Have Savings

 There is no denying it, school can be stressful! Help your student breathe an extra sigh of relief with an emergency kit stocked with must-haves to keep in their backpack or locker. Fill a discreet travel-sized bag (or pencil pouch!) with deodorant, personal hygiene essentials, extra makeup, stain-removing sticks, a lint roller, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, hair accessories, and mints—items that make them feel confident and prepared!

Step 4 — Save on Water Bottles: Sip-Ready Styles Starting at $3.99

Lastly, don't forget to hydrate! Save on water bottles that they can re-fill throughout the day. Pro Tip: Get a few in case any go missing.
