I hate to be the one to say this, but we’re slowly but surely entering Back to School season. Actually, if I’m being honest, we’re already there. Before you know it, those heartwarming commercials and ads will start popping up, and everywhere you turn you’ll see another reminder about heading back to class. But if you have a teen who’s off to college for the first time or returning to campus, then this time is even more crucial. Luckily, Amazon opened its Off to College shop a little early this summer, and it’s filled with everything they could possibly need next semester. 

While most fall semester move-in dates aren’t for another month at least, it’s around this time that you should be gathering everything they’ll need. Because the urgency isn’t so apparent right now, prices are still relatively low, especially since we’re on the heels of major 4th of July and summer sales. And while waiting to shop closer to the date might seem like a good idea, it’s usually around that time when prices start to go up, and discounts aren’t as deep because the demand is so high, which is why you’ve got to start shopping now.

Amazon’s Off to College shop truly has everything your college student could want or need — from small appliances and cool gadgets to cozy bedding and slippers, plus all the other stuff they probably haven’t even thought about, like laundry detergent. And Amazon will continue to drop new gems and prices leading up to the school year, but for now, check out some of our favorite dorm finds all for under $100.
