Parents expected to spend a lot more money this year school shopping
) - The school year is already taking a toll on the bank accounts of parents. The national retail federation says back-to-school spending from kindergarten through college will total $111 billion this year. That’s up from last year.
“With the schools and the supplies, all of that takes money. You can’t do anything without money,” Cynthia Johnson said.“It takes a village to raise a child. And I’m part of a village,” Johnson said. But Johnson like other shoppers can definitely tell the difference. While some are able to cut back on shopping, others don’t have a choice.But that doesn’t take into account the money spent getting the children to their destination.
“I’m always buying a lot of gas back and forth. Sometimes, I have to pick him up from school and take him back to school. I would say gas is the most expensive thing,” Johnson said. Financial experts say that parents can save a little more by not rushing to buy items until they know what their child needs.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
