Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself ~John Dewey~

During college days or when school-age children are living in a home, the bulk of the back-to-school shopping occurs in late July or early August. According to research from Experian Marketing Services, there is a trend of waiting to shop until the school year starts, in anticipation of last-minute bargains. Unlike waiting for the last-minute sales and shopping sprees, research indicates that preparing for school is a process that is serious business.
