The start of a new school year is a significant event for families. Every year, students need new supplies that are adapted to their curriculum. Therefore, households need to provide for a dedicated budget. In 2021, the average back-to-school budget for a first grade student amounted to 180.65 euros. School supplies were the highest expense, costing 107.58 euros on average.
For their back-to-school shopping, French families tend to favor large retailers and specialized stores.
