Back-To-School = Big Bucks
Ann-Marie Vazzano
As usual, consumers are spending big bucks on back-to-school this year. According to Deloitte’s 2016 Back-to-School survey, parents will spend $488 on average for clothes, accessories, school supplies, computers and other electronics for their kids. Those who planned to start shopping early also plan to spend 26% more than those who planned to start shopping in August or later. Most back-to-school shoppers (61%) will research products online before buying them in-store.
