"(I'm buying) notebooks, crayons, the normal things they ask for every year," said Carmen Nieves, a mother of four. "It's kind of a lot."

According to the survey, families are expected to spend the most on clothing and accessories, followed by electronics and school supplies.

Despite the increase in per-household spending, the survey found total back to school spending will top $80.7 billion, down from $82.8 billion last year. That's largely because a decline in the number of households with children in K through 12.
