CouponSnapshot Shares Top Back-to-School Deals for 2011

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Back-to-school season is just about here and students of all ages are going to be in need of school supplies ranging from books to computers, dorm accessories, cell phones, and other electronics, not to mention new school clothes and shoes. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Monthly Retail Trade and Food Services Report, family clothing stores raked in $7.2 billion in August 2009 alone. Bookstores in the same timeframe pulled in $2.5 billion, according to the same report. Offering shoppers a quick and convenient way to save money on just about anything, CouponSnapshot shares a wide array of back-to-school deals, discounts, and specials so consumers can save simply by using online coupon codes.

Between the many expenses and the ever-climbing costs of college tuition ($14,915 on average per year for in-state students or $40,640 on average per year for private college and university students), it's no wonder parents and students are all about saving money with online coupon codes and deals this year. A part of Experian, PriceGrabber® recently shared data in its Back-to-School Shopping Forecast survey, suggesting that nearly half of back-to-school shoppers were waiting until August to take advantage of great deals, often planning to shop online. The survey also shares that shoppers plan to spend less than previous years, saving money through shopping at outlets or discount and bargain stores, making use of shopping comparison websites, and using online coupons.
