Parents spending more on back-to-school shopping as costs soar: survey

Parents are going to spend more on back-to-school shopping this year, according to new surveys, as costs continue to climb amid skyrocketing inflation.

According to a new Yahoo/Maru Public Opinion poll, one-third of Canadian parents surveyed say they are spending more this year for back-to-school shopping than last year, and nearly all say inflation is having an impact on school spending. A survey from the Retail Council of Canada also found that 36 per cent of respondents expect to spend more this year on back-to-school shopping, while half will spend roughly the same as they did last year. The survey of more than 9,000 Canadian adults found that a majority plan on shopping at big-box retailers, such as Costco, Walmart, Canadian Tire and Staples.
