Money is half of it. Ask a parent what August cost them and they will start with the driving.

K12, 2026
One in five parents has thought about changing how their child is educated because of a shopping trip. That is not a money problem. It's a friction problem, and friction we can fix.
Since 1998
Where we come in.
Variety
Shop it all in one place.
1,600+ products — school, art, writing, office, paper. One order instead of four stops.
Affordability
Priced to fit a real budget.
We make them, so nobody marks them up. Full sheet counts, full pack counts.
Quality
Made to finish the year, not the month.
Cheap supplies don't last 28 years. Neither do the companies that make them.
What parents said after
Six parents, two problems.
★★★★★
"Ok so I did this at 9pm on a Sunday"
Picked third grade, everything filled in. Four wide-ruled composition books, the plastic folders with prongs. Box showed up Tuesday.
Dana R. · Grade 3 mom
★★★★★
"purple folders. that’s all she cared about"
Her teacher wanted plastic with prongs and that’s what came. Sofia got her purple one.
Alexis T. · Grade 1 mom
★★★★★
"my group chat made me post this"
Four other moms ordered the same one after I sent it. Now half the class has matching folders.
Jenna L. · Grade 2 mom
★★★★★
"$61?? I had a hundred set aside"
Same as last year. The 24-count colored pencils were $4.99. Her sneakers came out of what was left over.
Megan P. · Grade 2 mom
★★★★★
"I actually priced these against the store"
All eleven I checked came in lower. Ordered my son’s list that same night.
Nicole B. · Grade 4 mom
★★★★★
"did both kids in one shot"
Two lists, one total, under what I paid for one of them last August.
Carrie H. · Grades 2 and 5 mom

↺A band list will not match every teacher exactly. Remove anything you already have, or paste your own list.
We read the supply lists elementary and middle schools publish, take the lines that repeat across them, and write each one the way a teacher writes it. It is a common-denominator list for the grade band, not one school’s list.
TBD before paid traffic:
Most are close but not identical. Remove anything you already have, change any quantity, or paste your own list into the Kit Builder and we will match every line to a product.
TBD before paid traffic:
Yes. Every line has a stepper and a remove control, and the total updates as you go. Nothing is bundled or locked.
TBD before paid traffic:
Orders ship in 1 to 2 business days, and delivery takes another 2 to 7 business days depending on where you live.
TBD before paid traffic:
We stand behind a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Unopened supplies can be returned within 30 days, and if something arrives damaged, tell us and we will replace it.
