A new survey by ScoreSense reveals inflation is impacting school spending for 67% of parents.
Retailers in the Garden State should not charge you sales tax on school supplies, including computers with a sticker price of less than $3,000. Sports and recreational equipment, including ballet and other dance shoes, are also part of the sales tax holiday."There's a lot of different kinds of scams that come around this time of year," said Jason Kent of. "Like scarcity scams, where something that you really need is going to be advertised as available.
Also beware of prices that are unrealistically low. If you think they're too good to be true, they probably are. "So one of the things that I always suggest is, when you're transacting online, make sure you do it with a credit card, not a debit card," Kent said. "Debit cards don't have the backstop limits like credit cards do. So, if you can imagine, it's tied to your checking account, they can drain your entire bank account with no repercussions."
Credit cards come with fraud protection, including the right to dispute charges and get your money back."So those are exactly like check transactions, I never recommend transacting online that way," he said."I recommend approaching the school and asking them where you can get things," said Kent.
