Back-to-School Shoppers Focus on Necessities

It is time to go back to school! When it comes to the school necessities, my friends and i are also agree with the idea which is "the only thing we should really look at is sales". For the parents, they said"We don’t just buy something for the kids because it’s a good deal anymore,we’re only buying them what they really need.".
I started to think about the question behind this social phenomenon. Is it related to the side-effect of economy crisis? Clearly, the answer is YES! But, i think it is also a good sign for the government, which is about the growth of the wisely shopping idea and people are closer to the reasonable budget planner.

  1. I agree that it is a good sign for the government in the sense that Americans are learning how to spend money right. No longer do people have the spending sense they did 2 years ago when the market was up and bought things they assumed they could buy on credit and pay back later with the improving economy. Every American has either been affected or knows someone affected from the current economy and it has instilled new buying habits into people. A new agenda has been set by the people to buy whats "needed" not what is "wanted".
