Back-to-school sales starting in July is the summer version of Black Friday sales starting in October. You can let it make you antsy, or you can use it as a de-stressing strategy. Starting early means you can avoid that wave of chaotic preparations that hits the week before school starts.

But this year, shopping for school supplies early is more critical than merely getting it out of the way: Those same school supplies might get more expensive in the coming weeks. President Trump's tariffs are set to take effect on August 1, smack-dab in the middle of back-to-school shopping season. There are already whispers of impending tariff-related price hikes from retailers like Walmart and major tech brands like Apple.
