Shipt is helping families get back into routine with same-day delivery and time-saving features this back-to-school season

August is here, and back-to-school season has kicked off for many across the country. Shipt is here to be the ultimate back-to-school support for busy families. Through the Target Circle 360 paid membership, members can gain access to Shipt’s Marketplace with 100+ retailers, including local grocers, now with no price markups* (excludes select alcohol retailers and items)! That means with a few simple taps, families can shop for back to routine essentials and more from retailers like CVS, Office Depot, Office Max, Lowe’s Home Improvement, to name a few.

Shipt offers a stress-free solution, delivering everything from school lunch items to classroom essentials to weekly meal planning. With Shipt’s help, families are heading into the school year with more savings and fewer store runs.

Back-to-School Stock Up with Shipt

This season, Target Circle 360 members can save $10 when they spend $50 or more** on their Shipt order with code BACKTOSCHOOL from Aug. 7 - Sept. 12. As of early July, more than half*** of back-to-school and college shoppers have already bought their items for the school year - but no need to stress! Whether you’re prepping for the school year or still soaking up the summer sun, Shipt is just a few taps away. 

Need some inspiration? Here are a few favorites we saw last year at the start of the back-to-school season:

• The winners of the school lunches were honey wheat bread, sliced turkey breast and sliced colby jack cheese. Don’t forget the napkins and zip lock baggies!

• Sick day MVPs got a lot of love: multi-vitamins, allergy medicine and ibuprofen may come in handy for those overcast fall days.

• Snacks, snacks and more snacks! Puffed snacks, dried fruit and fruit snacks, seeds and trail mix, potato chips and meat snacks from private label brands, Cheetos, Frito-Lay, Hostess filled the baskets. 

• Welch’s were the most popular snacks to order through same-day delivery!****
