To many kids excitement,

or dismay, the shelves in

stores are filled with back-to-

school merchandise, ranging

from binders to clothing, for

purchase of the 2013-2014

school year. As the second

largest spending spree follow-

ing Christmas, youll want tobe sure youre getting the best

deals possible when rummag-

ing through the aisles. The

National Retail Federation

(NRF) surveys were designed

to gauge consumer behavior

and shopping trends. They

reported that in 2012, families

with school-age children

spent an average of $688.62

last year. This year the expect-

ed average is $634.78, with a

total reaching $26.7 billion.

When combined with back-

to-college shopping, a grand

total spent on retail merchan-

dise will reach $72.5 billion.

!

Creative Nail Designs,From Hand to Toe! Other data and conclusions retrieved

from NRF research this year include:

Spend with practicality in mind. If

you overspent on items for your older

kids last year, try reusing some thingsthis year.

The biggest portion of back-to-

school budgets will go toward apparel

and accessories. It is estimated only

13.7 percent of shoppers will purchase

goods at thrift/resale stores. To try to

save yourself from getting a hole in

your wallet, look for trendy finds in

your local thrift shops or try hitting

some end of summer garage sales.

Dorm and apartment furniture

spending is expected to increase this

year. 42 percent of families will spend

an average $104.76 on new bedding,

mini refrigerators and microwaves.

Make sure to check if your dorm allows

microwaves and look in local ads for

mini refrigerators for sale. Where

theres a student entering college

theres one graduating whom will be

glad to get rid of their fridge at a deal to

lessen their load for their move out. Comparison shopping has grown in

the last few years. 37 percent of parents

said they will compare shop online and

in stores more often to get the best

deal.

Dads will spend 34 percent more

than moms on college supplies this

year, splurging on electronics, furniture

and more.

Because teens and pre-teens want

to keep up with the most fashionable

trends, they will chip in an average $30

of their own money for back-to-school

shopping.

Buy certain things so they will last,

such as backpacks with durable mate-

rial, pencils in bulk, etc.

This year, back-to-school shoppers

got head starts and began shopping as

early as July.

Be careful when it comes to online

purchasing. Those who buy online arelikely to spend more than those who

shop in stores.

A decrease in electronic sales is

expected for the 2013 school year.

Overall, the 2013 school spending

expectations have decreased as pa rents

and young adults are becoming more

aware of the value of a dollar.

Remember its not hard to find perfect-

ly practical items at a low cost if you

put a little time into the search. If you

and your student(s) keep their focus on

the larger goals (college, grad school,

housing after college, etc.) it might be

easier to pass up those expensive shoes

in return for a solid savings for the

future.

Harbor Springs Habitat for Humanity

Restore helps build dreamsBy Jim AkansWhen someone purchases an item from

the vast inventory of new and gently used

home improvement products at the 9,500

square foot Habitat for Humanity Restore

facility in Harbor Springs, they not only

enjoy huge savings in price, they are helping

to build the new home dreams of the fami-

lies the Habitat organization helps each year.

It is truly a win-win situation, the expansion

of a vision that began back in 1976 when

Millard and Linda Fuller founded Habitat for

Humanity. To date, over 400,000 affordable

houses have been built by Habitat affiliates,

housing more than 2 million people world-

wide.Harbor Springs Habitat for Humanity

Restore Director, Bob Bystrom, states, There

were 28 Restores in Michigan when we start-

ed this one four years ago. Today there are

approximately 50 here in Michigan, and over

800 nationwide. We offer a wide variety of

home improvement items, such as windows,

doors, plumbing and electrical products,

lawn and garden products, light fixtures,

paint and more.

The inventory also includes a constantly

changing selection of gently used furniture

and home accessories. About the only type

of item they dont carry is clothing, and as

with every Habitat for Humanity Restore in

the state, they no longer accept box springs

or mattresses.

Bystrom notes that local businesses, area

contractors, and people in the community

donate the vast majority of the items offered

in the store. Since Habitat for Humanity

Restore is a non-profit organization, those

donations are typically tax-deductible for the

donor. Proceeds from the sales at the

Restore are utilize to assist affiliate

Northwest Michigan Habitat for Humanity

build quality, energy efficient, new home for

families in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties.

When we open our doors back in Marchof 2007, Bystrom recalls, Norwest Michigan

Habitat for Humanity was building approxi-

mately one and a half homes per year. That

capacity has now jumped to four to five

homes per year, and last year there were

seven active projects. Since opening, we also

estimate that we have diverted approximate-

ly 11,000 tons of waste that would have

ended up in landfills.

Harbor Springs Habitat for Humanity

Restore is located at 8460 M-119 in Harbor

Springs, and hours of operations are Monday

through Friday, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and

Saturday 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. For details, call
