Free School Supplies, While They Last, on Friday, August 6th
It s About That Time
That s always a sure-fire way to tell exactly where we are in the summer: when you start hearing about back-to-school stuff, you know it s almost over.
Welp, here we are, talking back-to-school. With it comes school registration, new clothes, and back-to-school supplies. Sounds expensive, don t it? That s because it is. According to a report on CNBC, inflation will definitely affect the cost per-student this year.

What It Will Cost Us
Back-to-school supplies last year averaged about $250 per student This year, it s expected to be around $270 per student. Just a $20 difference, but that adds up when you have 2, 3, or 4 or kids to shop for. Add clothes shopping to that and it amounts to a small fortune, and it doesn t sound like any retail promos are on the way to help.
