There's always something you end up leaving until the last minute

There's no end to the stuff you need to buy for the kids going back to school.

Not only was the New Casio FX-83GTCW cheaper on Amazon, reduced from £16.49 to £12.75, but I was able to get it incredibly quick.

She has to have this particular kind for school, and obviously she wanted it in pink. I blame Barbie.

Even without Prime membership it would have come within two days, but as I'm a member it took less than 10 hours from ordering it, to it arriving on my doorstep.

If ever there's a time when parents need Prime, it's when the schools go back. Or when you need a last minute birthday present, or, let's face it, any time really.

There's a huge back to school section on the site, with backpacks, stationery, textbooks and more.

You can get school shoes and even shirts on there too, which will probably come in handy as stock in other supermarkets and other stores has already started to sell out.

Prime membership costs £8.99 a month for free premium deliveries (same day in selected postcodes), Prime Video, Amazon Music and Prime Reading.

You also get early access to lightning deals, can share benefits in your household and unlimited storage with Amazon Photos.
