In the US, in the weeks leading up to the new school year starting late August/early September, many retailers will offer discounts on school supplies - paper, pencils and pens, backpacks, etc - to attract customers. Many clothing retailers market it to students as a great time for a wardrobe refresh or to reinvent your look entirely and offer discounts. Same deal with electronics, especially since higher math courses tend to have required calculators. Some states - including Ohio, where I live - offer a sales tax holiday on a weekend during this season to help with the expense involved.

I mean if not your parents did, and you will soon. As soon I you leave high school if you continue to study or a soon as you kids reach 3 years old.
Have I mention back-to-school clothes and hair cup that might need to be freshen up if the school picture is taken too far from the beginning of the year ?
What’s “school shopping season”?
