Back to school sales are starting to wind down. As we approach the first day of September, retailers are shifting their focus to Labor Day sales. However, there's still time to score discounts on laptops, apparel, tablets, and everything in between. 

I've been covering retail events like back to school for over 10 years. To help you find the best back to school sales and avoid mediocre deals, I'm rounding up back to school deals on items we've tested or that the Tom's Guide staff recommends. This includes our favorite notebooks, best dorm-room friendly coffee machines, and our top noise cancelling headphones. 

We're all trying to save money these days, so I'm also highlighting deals on our favorite value buys. Whether it's the best budget gaming laptop we've tested or our favorite cheap smartphone, I've picked out something for every back to school budget. 

Currently, one of my favorite back to school sales comes courtesy of Best Buy. Right now you can get MacBooks from $749, small dorm appliances from $69, and monitors from $89 at Best Buy. Meanwhile, Dell has laptops on sale from $299 and monitors from $79. The sale includes XPS machines as well as Alienware gaming rigs. 

For more ways to save, check out our tips to picking the perfect back to school laptop and why noise-cancelling headphones are college essentials.

When do back to school sales begin and end?

Back to school sales generally begin in early July. They last through early September. Unlike Labor Day or Memorial Day, which lasts a few days, the back to school season lasts for multiple weeks. However, keep in mind that some of the best sales tend to occur in August. By the time September begins, most of the highly sought after deals have expired or simply gone out of stock.

Where are the best back to school sales?

Laptops, Bluetooth speakers, Chromebooks, and tablets are among the best back to school sales you'll find during the back to school season. Some of our favorite laptops, such as the MacBook Air M2, are already seeing price cuts of up to $200. Meanwhile, stores like Walmart and Wayfair are slashing the price of various dorm room essentials like coffee makers, cheap bedding sets, and more. 

What should I buy for back to school supplies?

Some of the most popular back to school supplies include arts and crafts materials (for younger students) and laptops or headphones for high school or college bound students. College bound students may also be interested in dorm room supplies like storage containers, bedding sets, office chairs, and desk lamps. Most students will also require a laptop bag or backpack. Make sure to check out our best backpacks for college guide for the best sales and picks.
