Although school is right around the corner, that doesn’t mean you have to stop all the fun. Summer is still here, and with the season comes family vacations and lasting memories. However, once your family begins to get ready for school, it won’t be the same as in previous years. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the spending cost of buying back to school items is expected to go down this year.

Florida parents are becoming more reluctant to splurge on their children heading back to school due to rising costs on clothing and supplies. Consumers across the state and nation are planning on paying an average of almost $5 less on clothes and about $7 less on supplies, according to the National Retail Federation.

Parents are now shopping smarter by waiting for sales, buying store brands, and reusing last year’s clothes in order to save money. Many parents are keeping clothes from the summer, which is easier to do in places such as Florida, experts say. Some are also waiting for the state’s three-day holiday on state sales taxes which starts Aug. 12.

In addition to these methods, more than a third of back-to-school shoppers are clipping coupons to save as well as only spending a little bit at a time instead of one lump sum. "What people are replacing are things they need to replace," explains Steve Kirn, executive director of the University of Florida's David F. Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research. That collective frugal mind-set is being reinforced by the uncertainty of whether the U.S. will raise the debt ceiling, Kirn said.

As the state learns to save money, it is important to AffordableOne Insurance that your family can have a safe summer and school year.
