Shopping for school supplies becomes a summer activity as families juggle technology and tariffs
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Retail and technology consulting company Coresight Research estimates that back-to-school spending from June through August will reach $33.3 billion in the U.S., a 3.3% increase from the same three-month period a year ago. The company predicted families would complete about 60% of their shopping before August to avoid extra costs from tariffs.

Getting a head start Miami resident Jacqueline Agudelo, 39, was one of the early birds who started shopping for school supplies in June because she wanted to get ahead of possible price increases from new U.S. tariffs on imported products. Advertisement The teacher's supply list for her 5-year-old son, who started kindergarten earlier this month, mandated specific classroom items in big quantities. Agudelo said her shopping list included 15 boxes of Crayola crayons, Lysol wipes and five boxes of Ticonderoga brand pencils, all sharpened. Agudelo said she spent $160 after finding plenty of bargains online and in stores, including the crayons at half off, but found the experience stressful.

Jenny Kane/Associated Press 'I am overwhelmed by the need to stay on top of where the deals are as shopping has become more expensive over the years,' she said. A lot of the backpacks, lined paper, glue sticks — and Ticonderoga pencils — sold in the U.S. are made in China, whose products were subjected to a 145% tariff in the spring. Under the latest agreement between the countries, Chinese goods are taxed at a 30% rate when they enter the U.S. Many companies accelerated shipments from China early in the year, stockpiling inventory at pre-tariff prices. Some predicted consumers would encounter higher prices just in time for the back-to-school shopping season. Although government data showed consumer prices rose 2.7% last month from a year earlier, strategic discounting by major retailers may have muted any sticker shock for customers seeking school supplies. Backpacks and lunchboxes, for example, had discounts as deep as 12.1% during Amazon's Prime Day sales and competing online sales at Target and Walmart in early July, Adobe Insights said. Throughout the summer, some of the biggest chains have are advertising selective price freezes to hold onto customers.

Target said in June that it would maintain its 2024 prices on 20 key back-to-school items that together cost less than $20. An analysis consumer data provider Numerator prepared for The Associated Press showed the retail cost of 48 products a family with two school age children might need — two lunchboxes, two scientific calculators, a pair of boy's shoes — averaged $272 in July, or $3 less than the same month last year. Digital natives in the classroom Numerator, which tracks U.S. retail prices through sales receipts, online account activity and other information from 200,000 shoppers, reported last year that households were buying fewer notebooks, book covers, writing instruments and other familiar staples as students did more of their work on computers. The transition does not mean students no longer have to stock up on plastic folders, highlighters and erasers, or that parents are spending less to equip their children for class. Accounting and consulting firm Deloitte estimates that traditional school supplies will account for more than $7 billion of the $31 billion it expects U.S. parents to put toward back-to-school shopping. Shopping habits also are evolving. TeacherLists, an online platform where individual schools and teachers can upload their recommended supply lists and parents can search for them, was launched in 2012 to reduce the need for paper lists. It now has more than 2 million lists from 70,000 schools. Users have the option of clicking on an icon that populates an online shopping cart at participating retail chains. Some retailers also license the data for use on their websites and in their stores, said Dyanne Griffin, the architect and vice president of TeacherLists. Advertisement The typical number of items teacher request has remained fairly steady at around 17 since the end of the coronavirus pandemic, Griffin said. 'The new items that had come on the list, you know, in the last four or five years are more the tech side. Everybody needs headphones or earbuds, that type of thing, maybe a mouse,' she said. She's also noticed a lot of schools requiring clear backpacks and pencil pouches so the gear can't be used to stow guns. Enter artificial intelligence For consumers who like to research their options before they buy, technology and retail companies have introduced generative AI tools to help them find and compare products. Rufus, the AI-powered shopping assistant that Amazon launched last year, is now joined by Sparky, an app-only feature that Walmart shoppers can use to get age-specific product recommendations and other information in response to their questions. Just over a quarter of U.S. adults say they use AI for shopping, which is considerably lower than the number who say they use AI for tasks such as searching for information or brainstorming, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July. Some traditions remain Before the pandemic turned a lot more people into online shoppers, schools and local Parent Teacher Associations embraced the idea of making back-to-school shopping easier by ordering ready-made bundles of teacher-recommended supplies. An extra fee on the price helped raise money for the school. Market data from Edukit, a supplier of school supply kits owned by TeachersList parent company School Family Media, shows that about 40% of parents end up buying the boxes, meaning the other 60% need to shop on their own, Griffin said. She noted that parents typically must commit no later than June to secure a bundle, which focus on essentials like notebooks and crayons. Advertisement Agudelo said her son's school offered a box for $190 that focused on basics like crayons and notebooks but didn't include a backpack. She decided to pass and shop around for the best prices. She also liked bringing her son along for the shopping trips. 'There's that sense of getting him mentally prepared for the school year,' Agudelo said. 'The box takes away from that.'

Shopping for school supplies becomes a summer activity as families juggle technology and tariffs
NEW YORK — Feeling nostalgic for the days when going back to school meant picking out fresh notebooks, pencils and colored markers at a local drugstore or stationary shop? The annual retail ritual is both easier and more complicated for today's students. Chains like Walmart generate online lists of school supplies for customers who type in their zip codes, then choose a school and a grade level. One click and they are ready to check out. Some schools also offer busy parents a one-stop shop by partnering with vendors that sell premade kits with binders, index cards, pens and other needed items. Yet for all the time-saving options, many families begin their back-to-school shopping months before Labor Day, searching around for the best deals and making purchases tied to summer sales. This year, the possibility of price increases from new U.S. tariffs on imports motivated more shoppers to get a jump start on replacing and refilling school backpacks, according to retail analysts.

NYC man wanted undercover cop and his mom to harm ex-girlfriend, authorities say
NEW YORK (PIX11) – A Queens man is accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend and recruiting his mother and an undercover NYPD officer to harm her, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Wednesday. Brayahan Agudelo, 31, is accused of burglary, strangulation, stalking, menacing, and other crimes, court documents revealed. On multiple occasions in April, he threatened his ex-girlfriend, police said. More Crime News In one instance, Agudelo wrapped his arms around the victim's neck and applied pressure, causing her to lose consciousness while her 2-year-old daughter was present, according to court documents. When police were called, the defendant had left. The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment, police said. On a separate occasion, Agudelo is accused of entering his former girlfriend's home, brandishing a knife, and threatening her. When she tried to flee the apartment, he grabbed her hair to stop her from leaving and took her cell phone, according to court documents. The victim was able to escape and opened her front door to yell for help. Agudelo yet again fled the apartment, police said. On the same day he attacked his girlfriend, Agudelo allegedly engaged in a conversation with an undercover police officer, asking the cop if he could 'make his wife a paraplegic.' Agudelo and the undercover detective agreed on a payment and a date for when the attack would occur, according to court documents. Agudelo was arrested the next day. More Local News However, this didn't stop him from enlisting his mother to reportedly terrorize his ex-lover. On April 28 and 29, while in jail, the defendant called his mother, Maria Cruz. He directed her to go to his ex-girlfriend's home and her grandchildren's school to convince the victim not to testify against him, prosecutors said. Agudelo told his mother to confront the former girlfriend with his brother so one could restrain and beat her while the other spoke to her, violating an order of protection against him, authorities said. Cruz reportedly told her son she followed his instructions, but the victim was not home, according to court documents. Agudelo faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted. His mother faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, court documents stated.
