Let’s talk school supply shopping. A new study revealed that while the majority of parents say they value savings over time, 70% of parents (falsely) think they are more efficient shoppers with their kids in tow, but they are actually spending more money than when shopping alone. When parents shop with their children, they end up spending $97 more on average.

To save more money, enjoy the back-to-school tax break weekend is August 3rd through 5th in Florida.
