With many school districts slowly returning to at least some in-person education, parents are experiencing a delayed back-to-school shopping rush. School supply lists also contain new items, such as disinfectant wipes, headphones and masks. However, traditional back-to-school sales are long gone.

Set a budget
Before making a shopping list, says Christie Whitney, certified financial planner and vice president of investment advice at Rebalance, an investment firm, “You need to have a family budget to begin with … You should be tracking what your family is spending every month and where that money goes.” From there, you can determine how much of the month’s spending can go toward school supplies.
