School Shopping

Cheryl’s Back to School Tips!
We have less than two weeks of summer vacation left. So sad! My daughter will be a high school freshman this year, and my son is heading into middle school as a seventh grader.  As we prepare to go back to school, a few things come to mind that I have learned through the years.  I thought I would share a few tips with you - and would love you to share your back to school tips as well!

A new national survey finds Americans are spending an average $688 on back to school shopping. The survey from the National Retail Federation says the dollar amount includes clothing and school supplies. The $688 figure is up $84 from last year's $604 average. That sounds like a lot of money to me. What about you?
