SAO PAULO - The recommendation for parents who will buy equipment for the children this year is to research before. This is because the prices of school supplies suffered an increase of 8% compared with January 2014, according to a study by the Brazilian Association of Manufacturers and Importers of Gifts and Novelties.

The same goes for aa crayons box 06 Acrilex colors found for R$ 0.90. Already the crayon box 06 colors Cars Tris, costs R$ 20.90, which corresponds to a price change of 2.222%.
According to the executive director of Zoom, Thiago Flores, one must observe the features and brands that best meet the needs and reflect the wishes of the small items that are fashionable or have different design, factors that may further endear the school list.
"Another important aspect that should be considered when buying on the internet is to get the maximum amount of items in the same shop for the freight does not exceed the savings realized," he explains.
