Back to School Shopping

Although back to school shopping does get starts early but I went the last week of August to buy stuff and people were still there buying essentials or requirements for their next grade. Things are somewhat cheap but still even if they are expensive, back to school is one of those necessities that you have to fork over money no matter what, although you can save money if you comparison shop on line and through other stores but you still have to fork over money. This year due to the worsening economy and high jobless rates, people are trying to do with as less as possible or maybe using hand me down from their older kids to the younger ones.

This shopping season is also the second biggest of the year after the holiday season so we will have to see how the retailers fared this time around, although they are a little bit nervous as the retailers have been reporting lack luster foot traffic in their stores, but no matter what the school supplies apart from clothing or some discretionary item, will remain the same or even more due to higher prices.
