SANTA BARBARA, Calif.- Many school districts start classes way before Labor Day these days.
That means back to school shopping is in full swing.
Some parents are worried tariffs will impact their back to school purchases.
Some business analysts have said that is why some people are shopping even before school starts.
Many stores have print outs of back to school supply lists for different grades.
They might be back to shop for more once teachers share what they will need.
But they are likely to have notebooks, pencils and backpacks on their shopping lists.
One family found backpacks on sale, so they took advantage of that.
"You know what today i feel like they have good sales overall but definitely i could see the impact of the tariffs because i have been here when it is not on sale and i fell like the prices are a little higher for sure," said Edith Woolfolk.
