Shopping for school supplies can be a nightmare, especially when you’re waiting for the school to send out the list. Regardless of how early you get to the store, it’s always mobbed. And if you wait too long, you run the risk of the stores being picked over.

Luckily, Walmart developed this nifty search feature that lets you shop for school supplies on your own time. Simply plug in your zipcode and choose your school and grade level. And viola! You’re presented with the list of items your school recommends.

To make things even better, if your school is late to the game and you want to get a head start, you can shop suggested supplies. Walmart was kind enough to compile a list of what each grade in the schools near you is buying. So you can take an educated guess at what you need and order as you see fit.

Make this back-to-school season a little less stressful. To check out the shopping tool, click here.
