We are scouring the internet for the best back to school 2022 deals that major retailers and carriers are running, gathering them all in one place: here.
If you want to jump to a specific section, you can do it from the links below:
One of the best deals at BestBuy currently is the one on Dell computers like the $999.99 one with Ryzen 7 that goes down 25% below, but there are plenty more to choose from, including on Apple iPads and the Microsoft Surface Pro. BestBuy is also reducing the price of the Galaxy A53 and the Galaxy S21 FE (with carrier plan) and the unlocked Motorola Edge (2021) and Edge Plus (2022).
Samsung Galaxy A53 now $150 off
This affordable, yet powerful phone is now seeing one of its lowest prices ever. This BestBuy offer's only condition is to grab the Galaxy A53 with a carrier contract.
Samsung's powerful Galaxy S21 FE is also seeing a discount at BestBuy. You can grab the phone for only $499 if you activate it with a carrier plan, just like the Galaxy A53 offer.
Last year's Motorola Edge is having a huge discount at BestBuy. Get the phone for just $350, which is half its original price. No need to activate it with a carrier plan either, which is awesome.

Samsung has great Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S line tablet and phone deals, plus you can reserve the ultimate in productivity and cool factor, its 2022 foldables with great discounts.
Preorder the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 now
You can now also book your Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Galaxy Z Flip 4 at Samsung's online store before their launch. The foldable phones will be released on the market on August 26, but you can score great preorder deals before that.
Save $900 on a new Galaxy Z Fold 4 with trade-in
The cutting-edge Galaxy Z Fold 4 is available at Samsung.com for as low as $1019.99 with eligible trade-in. And this is for the 512GB variant! You can get it for even cheaper if you go with the lower 256GB model, and further cheaper if you buy it locked on certain carriers.
Samsung is currently running a promo offer on the Z Flip 4 — you can get the 256 GB storage upgrade for $880 with a $170 trade-in for any clunker in exchange for the clamshell with a flexible OLED display.
Get the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at up to $825 off!
Samsung is running its early Black Friday sale with an extended trade-in program, meaning you can get up to $600 off when you bring in your old S21 Ultra and it can be one with a cracked screen, too. Then, there's a $225 instant discount going on at the Samsung Store, or a $50 upgrade to the 512GB model.
Despite their much more advanced age, the high-end Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ are still nowhere near as affordable as the humbler Galaxy Tab A8, which doesn't mean you shouldn't take the two 2020-released giants into consideration as low-cost alternatives to this year's premium Tab S8 family.

The up to $150 gift cards can be used to buy pretty much anything that Apple sells at a cool discount (that the company never offers outside of these types of promotions), and the usual education price cuts are of course still valid.
That means the iPad Air (2022), for instance, starts at $549 instead of its regular consumer price of $599 and up, while the 2021-released iPad Pro 12.9 is marked down from $1099 to $999... with a $100 gift card also included. Alas, that also means the "standard" iPad and iPad mini, as well as all iPhone and AirPods models, are once again excluded from Apple's Back to School campaign.
