The hustle and bustle for the back-to-school shopping is in full swing around Georgetown as parents are busy picking up items to get their children ready for the new school term beginning on Monday.
Among the shoppers along Regent Street on Monday were Vasumati Sugrim and her sister Basumati Sugrim, both of Greenfield, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
Vasumatie said all of the items were available in her area but she preferred to travel to the city to shop for her son, mainly to cash the school voucher valued $2,000.
She also used the opportunity to purchase the other items while there because she got “better quality and better bargains.”
