Back-to-school savings tool for families

Back to school is just around the corner, which means families everywhere will soon be heading out, stocking up and forking over fistfuls of money on everything from pencils to peanut butter.

According to the National Retail Federation, the average family spends $550 on school supplies each fall, making this time of year second only to Christmas for total consumer spending. 

That’s why the folks at online rewards destination, Swagbucks, have added lots of back-to-school supplies like backpacks, Webster’s dictionaries, flash cards, and college-ruled notebooks, to help alleviate some of the spending pains.
