Back-to-School Shopping on a Tight Budget | Texas News
Description
Back-to-school shopping’s hitting a price wall—78% of parents expect higher costs this year, with a third eyeing summer sales to beat the rush. Retailers like Walmart and Nordstrom Rack are rolling out deep discounts, including over 1,300 rollbacks nationwide, while some stores offer brand-name gear as low as $15. Amid rising household debt—especially in Texas, where credit card balances hit $8K–$12K—experts urge smarter spending: use local credit union loans instead of credit cards, and plan ahead by listing only what you truly need. Cutting out impulse buys and inventory-checking can save cash and stress—not just for school, but every day.
