It is back-to-school season for students of all ages, which means, parents are gearing up for back-to-school shopping. The National Retail Federation estimates that nearly $135 billion will be spent on back-to-school and back-to-college shopping this year.

Better Business Bureau reminds consumers that coming up with a game plan early on will go a long way this school shopping season.
