It’s time to think about back-to-school shopping

School2School is starting soon, and with it comes lists of required items and lots of wish list wishes.

Back-to-school season spending is expected to reach nearly $84 billion this year, said WalletHub, a personal-finance website, in its report on 2017's Best Back-to-School Sales and Deals.

WalletHub tracked various item categories for a year to identify the most heavily discounted merchandise in August compared with the rest of the year. One category stood out: cell phones. Parents who need a way to keep in touch with their kids should shop for cell phones this month.

Here are the best deals by product category such as electronics and furniture:
