JACKSON, Tenn. — Summer is almost over and we know what that means, it’s back-to-school time.

Lifestyle expert, Joann Butler, shares her back-to-school must-haves.

She says when it comes to tech, aim for a high battery life and lots of storage.

Also, consider buying a printer for convenience. Look for printer packages that offer support and upgrades and printers with low monthly fees.

For a dorm room, think of cool lighting. Many customizable LED light strips are simple to install and won’t damage walls.

For snacks, find options that are nutritious but also delicious.

Lastly, cleaning wipes and sprays are an underrated back to school essential. Look for safe yet effective multi-surface cleaning options.
