The Better Business Bureau says that with kids headed back to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents are choosing to do back-to-school shopping online.

National Retail Federation studies indicate back-to-school spending may reach a new record with anticipated spending in more laptops and computer accessories driving the costs.Parents with elementary through high school children are expected to spend an average of $789.49, topping the previous record of $696.70 from last year. Overall spending is expected to total $33.9 billion, up from $26.2 billion last year and breaking the record of $30.3 billion set in 2012.

The BBB says to be wary of click bait ads that feature items that imply that you may want or need it based on the search history. The intended purpose is to drive you to a different website to potentially steal personal information. Take note of the ad and go to the store’s website by directly typing into the search-bar.

Also, make note of the website’s privacy policy, contact information, and always use a credit card when making a purchase.
