Haven't organized a school bag yet? You're in luck because prices have dropped

Next week school returns and prices are dropping: these days there are discounts in all chains on the stock of bags and pencil cases remaining in stores. In some chains, prices for office supplies have also been lowered. The promotions will continue until August 31. In the stock chains there are usually no promotions, but there is discounted stock remaining, and some of them, like Ha-Stock, have lowered prices for club members. For those who waited for the last moment: at Max Stock they are still selling kindergarten bags for 10.90 NIS and 1st-2nd grade bags for 59.90 NIS. At Kravitz, the "perfect package" from Kal-Gav, which includes a bag for 1st-2nd grades, a lunch bag, a pencil case, and a drinking bottle, has been discounted by 100 NIS from 399 NIS to 299 NIS, a 25% discount. A discount of the same rate is currently being given at Kravitz on Eastpak bags, which are usually sold for 199.90-299.90 NIS in the chain. Kånken Classic bags have been discounted at Kravitz by 50% from 399 NIS to 199 NIS. If you buy an Adidas bag (which are sold for 80-250 NIS), you get a pencil case as a gift at Office Depot and Kravitz (a pencil case that is sold separately for 59.90 NIS). Branded pencil cases have been discounted at Kravitz by 40% from 49.90 NIS to 29.90 NIS, and there is a 20% discount on diaries whose prices in the chain before the discount were 24.90-54.90 NIS, and on the Livio bag brand, which was sold before the discount for 200-250 NIS. According to Kravitz, the biggest hits of the year are bags, pencil cases, and diaries of Stitch and K-Pop. Some models are already out of stock, but there are quite a few models that are still being sold and at a discount. There are currently 30% discounts on Stitch bags, whose prices before the discount were 49-299 NIS, and on K-Pop bags that were sold before the discount for 269-329 NIS. Some of the stock is already gone. We did not find at Kravitz a discount on bags of the trendy but expensive brand, Sprayground, which is sold in the chain for about 500 NIS, on Marshmello bags, and also not on equipment like notebooks, pads, erasers, pens, rulers, sharpeners, and pencils. On the other hand, a KidiWatch is being sold on sale for a month: 49.90 NIS instead of 149 NIS.

Idan 2000: 25% discount on all back-to-school equipment. Also in the Idan 2000 store chain, all K-Pop bags and pencil cases are sold at a 30% discount, including double promotions. The chain offers promotions in the app, for example, Kal-Gav X-Fix bags for 179.90 NIS instead of 239.90 NIS, using a coupon, limited to one unit per customer. The Idan 2000 and Kfar HaShaashuim stores are operated by franchisees and each offers its own promotions, but most of the chain's stores are currently at a sweeping discount on school equipment. For example, at the Idan 2000 store in Petah Tikva, the entire back-to-school department is currently at a 25% discount until August 31. 6 Campus notebooks for 25.40 NIS instead of 29.90 NIS and Sprayground bags for 509.90-519.90 instead of 599.90 NIS. You can also find liquidation sales of kindergarten bags for 24.90 NIS in the stores. In these stores, you can also find the Kal-Gav school bag package from previous years for 290 NIS. The "perfect package" of Kal-Gav of the year, including a trolley, is sold in the store we checked for 350 NIS instead of 430 NIS.

K-Pop disappointed in bags. Are these price drops routine for the end of the summer or pressure following the growth and sophistication of the stock chains in the back-to-school field? According to Noa Abu, CEO of Idan 2000 and Kfar HaShaashuim, "the stock chains are competition but exactly like Kravitz and Happening. We know how to give a service experience, a mother who arrives at our store with a list can walk around it for half an hour with a salesperson who helps her, goes over item by item with her, and also get good prices. We also have the entire variety including many non-branded items. We are also located in prime locations, so you arrive at the store and also sit in a restaurant nearby and also buy school shirts." Regarding hits that have stock left, she notes K-Pop, "which was a success in equipment, less so the bags. Stitch was a huge hit a few years ago and today it is already a permanent brand like Mickey Mouse."

Office Depot chain launched a 15% discount on all bags on its website and there are also 20% discount codes (without double promotions and discounts, not including Eilat) on additional items. Does not apply to bottles and lunch boxes. The redemption is via an influencer coupon code, for example: 4720061 in branches and redemption on the site using the coupon code CHEN20. Note that the order must arrive on time. Modan bags are sold at Office Depot online for 297.42 NIS for a package instead of 349.90 NIS and those who buy only a bag and pencil case pay 212.24 NIS. Large JanSport bags are sold on the Office Depot site for 246.42 NIS instead of 289.90 NIS, or for 186.92 NIS instead of 219.90 NIS. A Nike backpack is currently sold instead of 219.90 NIS, for 186.92 NIS, a Champion bag is currently sold for 144.42 NIS instead of 169.90 NIS. Promotions also on small bags for trips and clubs: Vans bag for 67.92 NIS instead of 79.90 NIS. Small Outdoor bag for 49.90 NIS. By the way, online, on the Kal-Gav site they sell Outdoor bags for 99 NIS plus a pencil case as a gift and with free shipping.

YOLO: Waited? You won. In YOLO stores and site there are 20%-50% discounts on pencil cases, pencils, and bags. Pro school bags for 209.52 NIS instead of 299.90 NIS or for 143.94 NIS, 2-in-1 school bags for 143.94 NIS instead of 239.90 NIS and for 119.95 NIS, soccer pencil case for 22.95 NIS instead of 49.90 NIS and other pencil cases for 19.95 NIS, lunch bags for about 50 NIS instead of 80-90 NIS. In this chain there are also local promotions, for example in branches in Azrieli malls you can sometimes download a discount coupon for YOLO.

In the "Ha-Stock" chain there is a bag, pencil case, bottle, and lunch box package for 299.90 NIS, UHU glue stick 8 grams is sold for 2.90 and 21 grams is sold for 6.90 NIS for club members, which you register for at no cost. Much of the equipment sold at Stock is offered at prices for club members and some of them are really low prices: smart notebook all types 4 for 10.90 NIS, Pilot mechanical pencil for 4.90 NIS, Pilot gel pen for 6.90 NIS, set of 8 pastel staple notebooks for 5.90 NIS and a package of 3 spiral notebooks is sold there for only 7.90 NIS, but pay attention: 56 gram paper when a quality product usually contains 70 grams and sometimes 80 grams.

In fashion chains, they also lowered prices. You can also find back-to-school products in less expected places, like Fox online. On the Fox site, the price of the perfect package of Kal-Gav dropped slightly from 499.90 NIS to 479.90 NIS but you can lower it even more if you have accumulated points as Dream Card club members. There are still many Stitch products on the Fox site (some of them are exclusive models at Fox), such as a Stitch lunch box that was discounted from 29.90 NIS to 19.90 NIS, a Stitch kindergarten bag that was discounted from 49.90 NIS to 29.90 NIS and there are of course similar discounts on non-Stitch products like a Kal-Gav Fortnite package and a soccer kindergarten bag. Some models are out of stock, but there is still a selection like a Fortnite package, a soccer kindergarten bag, and more. Also at Delta, near the cash registers, there are back-to-school products like bottles and pencil cases. A package with a notebook and writing tools of Stitch is currently sold for 39.90 NIS. There are also all kinds of back-to-school clothes for 19.90-29.90 NIS. In the Miniso chain, there are still pencil cases, pens, and small bags left at prices of up to 49.80 NIS. More unexpected places where you can find back-to-school products: Zara. We found backpacks there for 200 NIS, with complementary pencil cases. It's not a promotion but nice for those who want to diversify. The Soho chain has an outlet category on its website that is worth digging into if you are looking for non-branded premium drinking bottles. Also in fashion chains, for example Foot Locker, there are promotions, a CrossTown Plus backpack by JanSport is sold for 136.46 instead of 194.90. Another model by JanSport, Right Back, is sold there for 213.40 NIS instead of 304.90 NIS. Even at Hamashbir they sell back-to-school bags, for example a Marshmello set for 239.90 NIS instead of 399.90 NIS. Adidas backpack for 181.90 NIS instead of 259.90 NIS and Go bags by Zoolittle for 49.90 instead of 99.90 NIS. And don't forget coupons and club discounts. In some customer clubs you can still find discount coupons, for example a BuyMe voucher for the Grafos chain and discount vouchers for Kravitz.
