The face-off<\/h2>\n

Back-to-school season is here and the scent of freshly sharpened pencils is in the air. So is the scent of stress. If you\u2019re a parent staring at a list of supplies your kid is supposed to bring to their new classroom, you\u2019re probably wondering, where can I buy these crayons and notebooks quickly and cheaply?<\/p>\n

\n

That made me wonder which online retailer has cheaper school supplies: Walmart
\n WMT,
\n +0.05%<\/bg-quote>
\n or Target
\n TGT,
\n +2.96%<\/bg-quote>
\n ? To find out, I shopped at both retailers for all 21 items on an actual fourth-grade supply list from a New York City public school.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re talking about big money. Families say they plan to spend an average of $251 on school supplies this year, and $1,498 in all on back-to-school shopping for items ranging from shoes and socks to calculators, according to a survey by RetailMeNot, a site that lists online shopping discounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inflation-weary shoppers say they\u2019re stressed out about the cost of supplies and worried about finding time to buy them, the survey found.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers are stretching their dollars by comparing prices, considering off-brand or store-brand items, and are more likely to shop at discount stores than last year,\u201d said Phil Rist, executive vice president of strategy at Prosper Insights & Analytics, which surveyed shoppers about back-to-school shopping for the National Retail Federation.<\/p>\n

The verdict<\/h2>\n

This surprised me: Target was the winner by a whisker. It had the lowest total when I went to each retailer\u2019s website, looked up each item on the supply list and sorted the search results by price to find the cheapest version of each item. Using this method, Target\u2019s total was $64.69 for all 21 items. Walmart was very close at $66.04. But there\u2019s more to the story.<\/p>\n

My reasons<\/h2>\n

This chart shows the lowest prices I could find at Walmart and Target on Aug. 9 and 10.\u00a0You can see the exact products at the bottom of this story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

I tried to make the comparison as fair as possible by searching for the same phrase, such as \u201cmarble notebook,\u201d and looking for the same size and quantity of an item on both sites. I also tried to buy the exact quantity requested on the school\u2019s supply list, because extra stuff creates clutter at home. I chose some of the items based on personal preference. For example, the list called for a \u201cpack of crayons\u201d and I chose a 24-pack, although a 12-pack may have been cheaper.<\/p>\n

Comparisons weren\u2019t always apples to apples, because the two retailers carry different brands and different versions of products. For example, the cheapest 24-pack of crayons I could find at Walmart was its store brand, Pen+Gear, which was 25 cents. Target\u2019s cheapest was a Crayola 24-count box for 50 cents.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss:<\/strong> Sales-tax holidays: Here\u2019s your state-by-state guide to tax-free back-to-school shopping through the end of summer<\/p>\n

In response to MarketWatch\u2019s question about the price differences I found between Walmart and Target, a Walmart spokesperson did her own research and concluded that a shopper can find all the items on my list at Walmart for just $42.04, versus $49.67 at Target. Her list included some slightly different product choices than mine did. For instance, she chose a 12-pack of pencils while I chose a 24-pack. <\/p>\n

Walmart has said that it hasn\u2019t raised prices for school supplies since last year and that it sells the 14 most popular school supplies for $12.94. \u201cThe back-to-school season is such an important time for students, teachers and families. At Walmart, we want to help everyone start the new school year off right with an easy, convenient shopping experience and all the supplies on their list in fun and trendy styles at Walmart\u2019s every day low prices,\u201d said Julie Barber, the executive vice president for general merchandise at Walmart U.S.<\/p>\n

Target declined to comment on the price comparison, but a spokesperson pointed me toward some deals that Target is offering this back-to-school season, including a 20% discount for teachers on one entire shopping trip through Aug. 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is my verdict best for you?<\/h2>\n

If <\/strong>saving time is more important to you than saving money, there\u2019s another way to do your school-supply shopping \u2014 but it costs more.<\/p>\n

On both Walmart\u2019s and Target\u2019s websites, you can look up your specific school\u2019s supply lists. You can do this here for Walmart and here for Target. I was skeptical that this would work, but it did. I found my local school\u2019s fourth-grade list on both sites, and in both cases it was the same as the paper version handed out by the school. Both stores let you add the entire list to your shopping cart with just one click, an amazing time saver.<\/p>\n

However, both Walmart\u2019s and Target\u2019s versions of the supply lists were more expensive than the totals I got when I picked out all 21 items myself. The total for the Walmart version was $85.68, and the total for the Target version was $117.99. That\u2019s because in both cases, the store\u2019s version of the list included some pricier-than-necessary items. For example, my school\u2019s list asked for a single roll of paper towels, which sells for 99 cents at Target, but Target\u2019s version had a six-pack of paper towels for $9.99.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My advice: Save yourself a bunch of time and look up your school\u2019s list on Target or Walmart. Add it to your cart with one click, but use it as a starting point. Look carefully at the quantities and the specific products to make sure you\u2019re not spending on stuff you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n
