FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio — A reality check for all those summer lovers out there: Most major retailers have already rolled out their back-to-school sections, and with continued inflation, parents are expected to pay nearly 16% more this year.
Even though Artman wants to hold onto summer, in mid-July, retailers are reminding her the school bell will be ringing soon.However, the mother of four is getting a head start with a mission to save some money. And she's not alone. "They have lots of deals and coupons that are exclusive to that program, and you can find a lot of good deals that way," said Artman.
"All the prices from last year will apply this year, which can save people a lot of money," said Artman.
