As we’re counting down the days until school starts, you might be counting how much you have to spend on new school supplies.
FOX 13 News has been tracking how inflation has affected prices for the most basic school supplies items and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most everything has gone up at least 5 percent.
“Look it over and decide what it is you need versus what you want to make sure we don’t overspend in that way,” said Hunsaker. “Take a look at what you have from prior years or from older children. Maybe that backpack that they used last year can be cleaned up and used again. Kids don’t usually need a brand new one every single year.”“Sometimes you’ll see an original price and a sales price and it makes you feel like you’re getting this incredible deal,” said Hunsaker.
Some of them track prices in real-time as they fluctuate. Some let you add your store loyalty card to give you the most accurate look at what you’d be paying at the register.
