MXThe article reports on increased sales of school supplies in Mexico City just before the start of the new academic year. Vendors along Calle Mesones in the Historic Center noted higher customer traffic during the weekend, with some reporting up to 80 rolls of paper sold daily compared to an average of 65 throughout the season. Parents and families rushed to purchase notebooks, backpacks, stationery, and uniforms, with budgets ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 pesos. Some shoppers traveled from outside the city to take advantage of lower prices at local vendors, who offered items like pencils and colored pencils at significantly reduced costs compared to large stores. The surge in activity was attributed to last-minute shopping, discounts, and the timing of school enrollment processes.
