I remember the days. You feel the air starting to get a little cooler, and it means that summer is ending. For adults, that simply means a change in the clothes we need to wear. But for kids and college students, it's a sign that the worst thing in the world is about to take place -- it's time to go back to school.
You know what'll help soften the back to school pain? Some deals!
Also, make sure you sign up for Amazon Prime to make the most of the deals with fast shipping. You can get a student trial of Prime here, and a non-student trial here.
Save on Textbooks
Let's start this off with the least fun, and possible most necessary, part of going back to school -- textbooks. Love them or hate them, you need them, and they cost a lot.
To help make it hurt a bit less, Amazon has tons of textbooks for prices far lower than your school bookstore in most cases. And, in preparation for going back to school, Amazon is offering a deal where you can get $15 off any textbook purchase of $100 or more. All you need to do is enter the code TEXT15 at checkout, and you'll get the savings. Sadly, because textbooks are so expensive, you should have no problem exceeding that $100 minimum.
Additionally, Amazon is offering extra trade-in on books, so if you're still sitting on some from last year, you can cash in and put that money towards new ones. You might luck out and have enough so that you can cover your new ones in full!

(Clean) Dorm Life Deals
Conveniently, all of Amazon's Deal of the Day discounts are focused on possibly some of the least exciting (but more necessary) things you'll need if you're moving into a dorm -- cleaning stuff. You'll find massive deals on toilet paper, Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, Tide Laundry Bundles, and plenty of others [Broken URL Removed]. Getting stuff to clean your dorm clean isn't the most fun thing to buy, but it's necessary, and if you can get all of it for a discount, you might as well jump in and snag it while you can.

Amazon is offering 15% off all back to school items in the Warehouse Deals section of the site. You'll find deals on things like microSD cards, SSDs, fitness trackers, and much more.
