NYC is on a shopping spree and potentially overspending.<\/p>\n

Last summer, families across the five boroughs shelled out an average of $1,123 to gear their kids up for September. That\u2019s nearly a grand more than what parents in other U.S. cities are spending on school supplies.<\/p>\n

The startling data, coming from a 2024 survey<\/a> by Coupon Bird, revealed that New York City tops the chart for back-to-school spending. Florida and California fall close behind. <\/p>\n

Of course, New York City is an expensive city to raise a family in, let alone live comfortably<\/a>. But school gear has become particularly expensive, and if your kid is begging for the latest tech or a designer wardrobe, you\u2019re probably paying the premium. Fortunately, there are ways to curb costs. <\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Day<\/a> may be over, but the retailer has still slashed prices on some popular school essentials. Shoppers<\/a> can score deep discounts on everything from T-84 calculators<\/a>, trendy lunchboxes<\/a>, and backpacks<\/a> to bigger-ticket items like MacBooks<\/a>, AirPods<\/a>, and much, much more. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tbest back-t0-school deals\t\t<\/p>\n

Not to mention, skipping the whining, mazes of supplies, and long checkout lines is always another win. Having essentials delivered straight to your door is the real parenting hack, saving time and sanity. <\/p>\n

The bell may not start ringing for another month or so, but your time to find the best deals of the year on back-to-school essentials is right now. <\/p>\n
