The back-to-school commercials have returned to TV, tragically signaling the end of summer. While going back to school can be upsetting, potentially the bigger travesty is rising cost of school supplies. In 2013, the average consumer spent about 635 dollars in preparation for school, an expense up 150 dollars from just a decade before.
