How prepared are you for your children going back to school?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its great to see that over half of parents feel they have found everything they need, and are avoiding the rush of last-minute back to school shopping. 25.2 per cent of parents say they are waiting for the sales to do their shopping and 11.2 are waiting for the rush to die down before picking up what they need. We send out our good luck wishes to the 6.3 per cent of parents who say they will be battling it out at the malls this weekend as they join the last-minute rush.<\/p>\n

Will you be spending more or less this year compared to last year on back to school items?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost 4o per cent say that it has had some impact, while only 9.2 per cent say that it has a great impact on their spending this year. A further lucky 5.2 per cent responded to the choice of ‘What recession?’<\/p>\n
