King Advisory Inc. President Nori Carter said “according to the National Retail Federation, consumers are projected to spend a record $41 billion on back-to-school this year. Families with children in elementary through high school are projected to spend an average of $890 on back-to-school shopping in 2023. And that is why 28 years later we are still doing free book bags and school supplies. The cost keeps going up for families and the economy has not bounced back.”
