When parents have to fill the children’s schoolbags in preparation for the start of the school yearin stores, everyone hunts for bargains.

School supplies are becoming more and more expensive for families. This year, purchases are under control. “For school purchases, we try to be a little careful about what we buy, especially for schoolbags, pencil cases, to try to manage the budget”, says a mother. The cost of teaching materials is up 15%, according to the student association FAGE. Inflation is felt on the shelves.

The announcement of revaluation of the allowance received is a relief for the beneficiaries. To counter rising prices, it may be wise to buy together. A paper mill in Châtellerault (Vienne) takes care of school supplies for the parents of certain colleges in the region. A new regularization of supplier prices is planned for October.
