Parents appear to be spending a little less money on back-to-school shopping this year. A new poll from the National Retail Federation shows U.S. parents plan to spend an average of 603-dollars-and-63-cents this year for their kids' back-to-school supplies. That's slightly down from last year's average of 606-dollars-and-40-cents.
