Unnecessary items plague last minute back-to-school shoppers but online retailer, SchoolSupplies.com, responds by offering an affordable, online alternative to costly school supply lists and shopping!
Appleton, Wisconsin, August 14, 2014 (Newswire.com) - This year parents are digging deeper into their pockets to shell out more than ever for school supplies - 12% more according to the National Retail Federation (NRF). In response, SchoolSupplies.com, a new school supply retailer, teamed up with teachers across the United States to ensure they offer parents something new this to back-to-school season: brand name school supply bundles that contain exactly what students need - no list necessary!
“Back to school shopping is definitely giving parents sticker shock,” shared Jeff Goldenberg, CEO of SchoolSupplies.com, “Lists are getting longer, because items like tissues, and disinfectant wipes never used to be on them. It's clear that classroom needs are changing so why are we not changing the way we meet parent's needs?”

For 53% of Americans families, the annual shopping trip will average $669.28 - the most expensive year to date.
