We're at that time when parents and childrens' thoughts turn "back to school". I recall the ca$h outlay each new school year meant and it seemed more every year. That was then (20+years ago) and much has changed since then. Inflation is at record high levels while earnings, if you even have work, don't' keep up. This is verified by charities who are experiencing an increased demand for school supplies and they need our help in meeting that growing need.
