This Is How Much Parents May Spend On Back-To-School This Year
Smelly markers are a must!
The National Retail Federation is predicting the average household will spend about $849 this year for school supplies compared to $685 in 2018 due to more electronic purchases and readjusting to in-person learning.
Economists say spending may be boosted by higher-than-normal savings from the pandemic, as well as the new federal child tax credit that began hitting families' checkbooks earlier this month.
Parents are basically playing catch-up after kids have been sitting at home learning from a computer screen.
