“Shopping for stationery was always one of my favorite things to do for back-to-school. I loved picking out new notebooks, binders, and pencil crayons—it just made starting the school year feel extra special,” said Shena Tulloch, Stationery Merchant, Walmart Canada. “We know how important it is for families to get great value on the basics, which is why we’re offering some of our most popular items at the same price or lower, compared to our last year’s price. We want to help parents shop with peace of mind, knowing they can get everything they need on their list without breaking the bank.”
Along with these must-have items at last year’s prices, Walmart Canada has an impressive assortment of backpacks, tech and more at everyday low prices, to help kids go back to school in style.
Backpacks that go the distance
A great backpack is important for back-to-school and similar to school supplies, we’re offering last year’s prices on this year’s assortment of backpacks. Walmart Canada has basic backpacks starting at $6.98 as well as backpacks from top brands like Reebok and Steve Madden, which combine durability, comfort, and style all at Walmart’s everyday low prices. Bold patterns or sleek neutrals, there’s a backpack to match every personality.
“I always bring my little one shopping with me for their backpack because I want to make sure the bag is a good fit for their size, has padded straps to shield some of the weight and lots of compartments to keep books and other gear organized,” said Balpreet Atwal, Merchant, Homelines, Packables, Walmart Canada.
