It’s Snack Season, AKA Back-To-School Season

School’s back in session, and that means it’s the time of year when we need to have half a dozen snacks on the ready at all times. Thankfully, Instacart’s Deal Week (Aug. 10-16) can save you both time and money. While you can order last-minute school supplies (starting as low as 25 cents from Staples!) and shop the app’s back-to-school hub with deals from brands like Gatorade, Lowe’s, and more, you can also score a free* snack with each order of $10 or more. Savings and a treat — yes, please!

*With an order of $10 or more, while supplies last. Eligible items only. Taxes and other fees apply. Limit 1 per account. Sponsored.

This Is How You Save Money This Back-To-School Season

A week of deals.

This App Is Giving You Free Back-To-School Snacks

Every mom knows, when back-to-school season starts — the grocery bill goes up. There’s the before-school, “I don’t want anything for breakfast. I’ll just grab a bar” snack, the lunchbox need-to-haves, and the multiple “When is dinner?” after-school snacks to account for. It’s enough to have you clipping coupons (and losing your sanity along the way).

Luckily for us, Instacart’s Deal Week is here Aug. 10-16. You get a different free* item every day when you spend $10 or more. We’re talking lunchbox-favorites like Once Upon a Farm Organic Dairy-Free Smoothie Pouches, Sargento Mighty Bites™ Salami & Mild Cheddar Cheese Snack Kits, and more.

Plus, you can check out the back-to-school shopping hub in the app for even more deals on supplies from brands including Bath & Body Works, Staples, Ulta Beauty, and more.

*With an order of $10 or more, while supplies last. Eligible items only. Taxes and other fees apply. Limit 1 per account. Sponsored.
