AAA Mid-Atlantic: Save On Back-to-School With AAA

TOWSON, MD (September 1, 2020) - Store shelves (in-person and online) are stocked with back-to-school necessities as parents and students check items off their shopping lists. Even though school will look different this year, the National Retail Federation and Proper Insights & Analysis report that consumers tentatively plan to spend a record amount on back-to-school items this year. Despite not knowing exactly what supplies will be needed for in-person, hybrid and/or remote learning options, parents of students in elementary school through high school are expected to spend $33.9 billion for back to school supplies, breaking a record set back in 2012.

“Back to school supplies, especially for hybrid and remote learning, will differ from the norm this year, as families look to purchase computers, tablets, printers, and desks,” said Ragina C. Ali. Public and Government Affairs Manager at AAA Mid-Atlantic.
