This year, going “back to school” is going to look different than ever before. No matter what the school situation looks like for you and your kids this fall, everyone still needs to tackle the school shopping list. We all know that the idea of hitting the stores for traditional back-to-school shopping is stressful, which is why Target is coming to the rescue! Check out these three incredible contactless solutions to get ready for school this year:
1. School List Assist
If you haven’t heard of Target’s School List Assist program, get ready to have your mind blown. Here’s how it works: Target will find your child’s shopping list (based on school and class), then allow you to add everything to your cart with one click! It’s that easy — and you can pick up the supplies you ordered at the store or have them delivered to your house. If your class list isn’t available yet, you can sign up to get notified as soon as it’s ready!
2. Drive Up
Want to get everything you need at Target without actually stepping foot in the store? Try Drive Up! All you have to do is shop in the Target app, select “Drive Up” at checkout, and go about your day. When your order is ready, Target will notify you! Let them know you’re on your way, and then you can just drive up to your local Target, park in the designated spot, let the app know you’re there, and Target employees will come load your order right into your car! Best of all? Drive Up is totally free.
3. Same Day Delivery
If you want school supplies delivered directly to your house, you’re in luck! Target’s Same Day Delivery is perfect for those days when you realize you’re totally out of Elmer’s Glue and your kid’s collage is due first thing tomorrow morning. Just go to Target.com, shop for what you need, choose Same Day Delivery at checkout, and schedule your delivery time. Once you’ve placed your order, a personal shopper from Shipt, Target’s Same Day Delivery partner, will shop for everything you need (and even text you if something is out of stock!). After they’ve gathered all your items, your Shipt shopper will deliver products to you. There’s no membership required — guests can start with a free 4-week trial. After that, an annual Shipt plan is just $99 for unlimited orders of $35 or more. Or, you can pay per Same Day Delivery order.
Back-to-school season is stressful no matter what, and this year is especially chaotic. But don’t worry — Target’s got your back!
