MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - It's time to start thinking about back to school shopping and this year that list will probably look a lot different.
According to a survey by Deloitte, back to school spending in the U.S. this year is expected to total about $28.1 billion, or $529 per student, about the same as last year. That survey also shows more of that money will be spent on technology and hygiene & cleaning products.
The Alabama Retail Association expects many more people to use technology to get their shopping done instead of going to stores in person.
