August is not only the last month of summer, but also a time of headaches for parents whose children will go to school on September 1. New collections of school uniforms appear in shopping centers, and the stands are literally bursting with all kinds of stationery. How much will you have to pay for a set of necessary supplies this year – in the material RusDelfi. A weekday in one of the shopping centers of Tallinn. A mother with two school-age daughters is actively looking at a stand with stationery. In the hands of the girls are cheerful pens – with hares and tigers. The price of one of them is almost 4 euros. The children are happily sorting through other options, but the mother looks dissatisfied. "The cost, of course, of such fashionable pens is a little scary, but look at the usual ones," the woman introduces herself as Alexandra and nods towards the stand. There really is a large selection of standard writing instruments. But the cost is also amazing. The most budget option is 1.20, on average, the price fluctuates around 2.50 euros. “Of course, I don’t look anymore: where there are 3 euros, there you can give 4. But it seems to me that in class they will be more distracted by these bunnies and kittens, and not study,” Alexandra looks at her daughters, who unanimously answer her remark: “Well, mommy!”
