Families with school-aged children are spending anywhere between $400 to $600 on back-to-school supplies per child, an increase when compared to 2009 data (Source: youthnoise.com and nrf.com). With the Consumer Confidence Index® declining sharply in June and retreating further in July (Source: conference-board.org), most families would welcome any help in finding extra savings.
