KOSI 101.1

The National Retail Federation says this year will be the most expensive ever for back to school shopping. Americans will spend $41.5 billion on back to school supplies. That’s up from $36.9 billion last year. Other findings:

– the average family will spend $890 on school supplies or $25 more than last year

– 69% of families expect to buy at least one electronic item for this school year

– biggest reason why back to school supply prices are rising.. inflation followed by longer school supply lists

I get it!! These lists get longer every year!!! This is just for my 1st grader … Might need to rethink this Mega Millions thing!!! YOU at least can sign up for Employee of the Day! KOSI 101 Employee Of The Day

Forget Freezing Eggs. Some Men Are Freezing Their Hair Now

And honestly, as a mom of two girls, I respect the optimism. But also, if I had a dollar for every hair I’ve pulled out of a shower drain, I could probably fund the research myself.
