We talk a lot about affordability at TextNow – for a good reason. Whether you're feeling the pinch of the rising costs of living, or just looking out for your future with a savings plan, we know how important a good deal is.
Now, normally, we'd talk about phone deals, or deals from the brands we work with that provide you with your free phone service. But life is about a lot more than just phone service. With summer on its last leg, and school already starting up for some, we're putting together a list of our favorite affordable finds on Amazon for starting up your extracurriculars/workout plan again, and getting back to class in style – and in budget.
If your kids have been bugging you for a pair of AirPods, but you don't have the extra $200 lying around (nor do you want to have to replace that amount when they inevitably lose one), these similarly styled earbuds are a great deal, at under $20 instead!
We know those phones are meant to be off during class, but if they have long days with team practices and other extracurriculars after school, or if they're heading off to college with all-day classes, this slim portable power bank is a great essential in their pocket.
Speaking of long days, keep them energized without a sugar crash (and it wouldn't hurt you to sneak one for yourself too) with these clean and delicious protein bars!
Keep hydrated all day long with a durable, stainless steel tumbler – made to their size and packed with a straw and a variety of colors to match their unique personality!
If your kid isn't as particular about backpacks, and you want to get them something that's both practical and not totally embarrassing (or again, if you're looking for something sturdy for college), this bag with a built-in USB charger is a great affordable find.
First day of school at any age is a monumental day, and if you're excited to share with friends and family, you can pick up this pre-made dry-erase board for a picture-perfect first day.
If they're starting their team sports this fall, they're going to need something durable to keep them hydrated, like this double-walled insulated Adidas water bottle – perfect for hot or cold days.
Hey, we get it – kids grow out of shoes and clothes really quickly, but if you're having a hard time finding running/athletic shoes for their new extracurriculars in their size/in good shape and buying new is your best choice, these are a great deal – in multiple sizes and colors.
Being a parent means being prepared, like when their ball suddenly starts deflating while you're out playing. Don't let that happen with this portable, electric pump!
Who said sports and exercise was only for the kids? If you're looking to use your newfound free time while they're at school to get back on your workout routine, invest (get it?) in this weighted vest for your morning or afternoon walk – or jog – for maximum gains.
Gym memberships can get expensive, not to mention, time consuming, so if you're looking for an easier way to build up bulk at home, a good ol' set of resistance bands can help you achieve a full workout routine in no time.
