Dread might be too strong a word. But Kate Hunt's feelings about back-to-school shopping aren't far from those of kids who soon will have to give up lazy afternoons at the pool for long hours in the classroom.
The supply lists her first- and third-grade sons' school sent home were simultaneously not specific enough — or too specific. One required eight folders, each a different color.
"There's just so many rules," said Hunt, of Evanston, hoping to cross most items off the boys' lists at the local Target Monday afternoon with as little hassle as possible.
You'd think it was a no-brainer to buy back-to-school items online, where there's no line at checkout and price comparisons are easy. But for many families, the tradition of trekking to a store and pushing a cart loaded with pencils, notebooks, folder, tissue boxes, a protractor and a first-day outfit remains intact, one of the last strongholds in a fast-changing retail industry.
For some families, it's a way to get kids excited about the upcoming year. Others are skeptical buying online would be any less of a chore.
"It feels like one of the few things that's actually easier in the store," Hunt said.
Back-to-school is the retail industry's second-biggest shopping season, and families with children in kindergarten through high school are expected to spend an estimated $29.5 billion this year, according to a recent survey by the National Retail Federation.
But although the share of consumers who say they plan to shop online has grown in recent years, most of those dollars are still spent in stores.
More than 70 percent of last year's back-to-school purchases were made in bricks-and-mortar stores, according to market research firm The NPD Group.
When it comes to apparel, Katy Mickelson, a mother of two from Chicago's Roscoe Village neighborhood, said she still likes to touch and feel most items before buying. She also wants her kids — a son in second grade and daughter in preschool — to get the traditional back-to-school shopping experience she remembers.
Mickelson said she has fond memories of stocking up on new jeans and sweaters before the start of each year as a kid, and wants the same for Luke, 7, and Adelyn, 4.
"It gets them excited, the experience of getting something new and cool to show your friends, that lessens the sting of school a little," she said.
Michelle Kwak, of Chicago, will likely buy her fifth-grade daughter's backpack online, where there's a wider selection of fun designs. But when it comes to the basics, it's quicker to hit the stores, said Kwak, shopping Monday at a Skokie Walmart — the first of three planned stops at nearby big box chains.
Supply lists often call for very specific items, and tracking down the right version on a shelf can feel easier than clicking around online, Hunt said.
Convenience, not just price, is a priority for back-to-school shoppers, so Walmart is trying to make it less of a headache, however they choose to shop, said Scott Bayles, Walmart's vice president of stationery.
"As customers view time as a new form of currency, it's our job to save them time as well as money," Bayles said.
For the first time, the chain is deploying a version of the "Holiday Helpers" program, in which Walmart added more employees near checkout to keep lines moving during the busiest shopping periods.
But it's also one of several retailers trying to make it easier for customers to handle their back-to-school shopping online. Walmart is offering same-day store pickup for a wider range of school items shoppers can order online. And both it and Target post supply lists from participating schools on their websites. Shoppers can browse on their own or add every item on their child's list to a digital cart with one click.
Staples lets customers upload a photo of a supply list through their app. An employee will prep the order for in-store pickup within two days, but typically in about half an hour, Christine Mallon, Staples' vice president of
