According to the National Retail Federation, the average
family spends almost $700 on children’s clothing, electronics, and back to
school supplies each year. Back to school time can be a burden on many low
income families- especially to those who have to provide clothing for more than
one child. Wouldn’t it be great if back to school shopping was easy and cheap?
Of course it would.
The recent budget cuts in education tends to take a big toll
in the classroom, not only are there more students cramming into already crowded
classes, there are fewer supplies to go around. |
