Back to School Backpacks on a Budget
Four Frugal Ideas Kids Will like Too
Elementary girls love Disney princesses! This pretty pink backpack features Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, along with Belle and Cinderella. The pack is a medium size, good for girls in the earlier grades. The bag has wide padded straps and two compartments for better weight distribution. I was able to find this Disney Princess backpack for just under $10.
Disney Princess Backpack and Lunch Bag Ensemble
This backpack is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. The blue pack comes with a lunch bag, so girls can keep everything together while travelling to and from school. The easy clean front panels of the backpack are a definite plus, while the side and back canvas makes the backpack sturdy enough to stand up to hard use. The pink lunch box is insulated, so grownups don't have to worry about food spoiling. Both the backpack and the lunch bag feature the lovely Disney Princesses - Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Belle. The backpack and lunch bag ensemble can be had for an affordable $22.50. This is an ideal choice for elementary girls who stay at school for lunch, or for before or after school daycare.
K-Cliffs Polyester Backpack
This is a great backpack for boys and girls of any age, from the youngest elementary students right through to teens. It comes in eleven hues and patterns, from brilliant yellow or purple, to sober black or navy, to camouflage. The pack features a large main compartment, a middle organizer compartment, and a small zippered pouch for easy access to loose items. Both shoulder straps and back panel are padded, and there is a reflective strip on the front of the pack for added safety. This pack makes a great book bag, but it would be just as useful for play or overnight trips. I spotted the K-Cliffs backpack for just $12.50.
Ensign Peak Clear Backpack
If your child's school has a policy that requires see-through clear or mesh backpacks, it can be tough to find one at a decent price. This sturdy PVC backpack is a great choice for families who live in wet or cold climates, as the contents of the pack will stay safe from rain and snow. The pack comes with a nylon backing in red, pink, blue or black. This feature can help kids tell their bags apart at home or school. This sturdy pack has padded shoulder straps, and makes a great book bag for younger kids who may find other clear backpacks too large for their small frames. The Ensign Peak clear backpack has one main compartment and a front zippered pocket for smaller items. I was able to find it at $12.50.
