CINCINNATI, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) today shared Big Deal! back-to-school savings as students prepare to head back to the lunchroom and low prices on classroom supplies starting at just 39 cents. New this year, the retailer is debuting the Kroger Back to School List, an online tool offering supply lists issued by teachers from local schools across America. Customers can find their child's approved supply list and add it to their cart to get crayons, notebooks and more alongside their lunch and fresh grocery hauls. 

"Back to school is a busy time of year, and we do all that we can to make the shopping inexpensive and convenient," said Mike Murphy, Group Vice President of Center Store Merchandising at Kroger. "That means customers can easily get school supplies, lunch staples and dinner solutions all at Kroger, anyway they shop and at an incredible value. We've lowered prices on thousands of items that our customers love and need most—including school supplies—because shopping for your family should be easy and affordable."

With Kroger's Back to School List, customers can access specific supply list from the retailer's website or app. Whether shopping in-store or online for pickup or delivery, Kroger's Back to School List is an easier way to get classroom ready. To get started go to Kroger.com and follow these steps:
