There's more to consider than just what supplies to buy this year (though we'll help with that too.)


SAVE $144.99: Get a back-to-school bundle with the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet, a Herschel Classic backpack, and the Amazon Echo Buds for just $189.99, marked down from the usual bundle price of $334.98. That's a 43% discount.


Ready or not, the school year is about to start again. If you're starting a list of items to grab before it's time to hit the books again, Amazon has a special bundle today that's perfect for "one-click" shopping.

As of July 11, the Amazon Fire Max 11 Bundle with 64 GB tablet, Herschel Classic backpack, and Echo Buds is on sale for $189.99, down from the usual bundle price of $334.98. That's a 43% discount or a savings of $144.99.

Instead of buying all items separately, make life easier with the bundle with the centerpiece being the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet, which has an impressive 11-inch screen. Mashable's review of the tablet mention's it's an almost worthy iPad competitor, but if budget is a consideration, the affordable price of the Amazon Fire Max 11 is much more attractive. With the bundle, you'll get a 64GB version of the Fire Max 11 for plenty of space to download shows and movies for when your school work is complete. The octa-core processor paired with WiFi 6 means you'll be working at lightening-speed, never waiting on loading when multi-tasking.

If you're heading off to college (or the parent of a college freshman) the tablet's 8 MP camera means you'll be able to keep in touch over video calls with clarity.

Also included in the bundle are the Amazon Echo Buds. Getting up to 20 hours of battery life, the earbuds have 12mm drivers for clear and crisp sound quality. They're lightweight and sweat-proof, adding to the earbuds' durability. You'll have customization options when it comes to tap controls, so you can decide how to pause music, take calls, and mute your mic. Plus, they come with Alexa's help, allowing you to make phone calls, check your calendar, find out the latest weather report, or tune into your audiobook on Audible.

Mashable's review of the Amazon Echo Buds mentions excellent sound quality. "They were noticeably better than other earbuds I’ve tried, including my JBL Tune earbuds. In a few familiar songs I listened to, I was able to notice some sounds that I’d never heard before," writes Mashable contributor SaVanna Shoemaker in the review.

You'll need somewhere to store the tablet and earbuds while at school, which is where the Herschel Classic backpack comes in handy. Sporting a classic navy colorway, the backpack is made with durable fabric from 100% recycled plastic water bottles. The floating sleeve in the backpack can hold a tablet or laptop that measures up to 14 inches, meaning it'll easily keep the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet safely tucked away.
