If your kid desperately needs a “Money Bear” backpack as a back-to-school item, the EbLens at 60 Whalley Ave. in New Haven has it in stock for you.
And for this week only, you won’t have to pay the state’s 6.35% sales tax on the trendy Sprayground teddy-bear backpack – complete with a gold chain and “money stack” – which retails for $90. The $80 “TeddyBear Anatomy” backpack is also in stock, featuring a cutaway illustration of the bear’s innards.
“Those bags are going like crazy,” said Paul Eusebio, chief merchandising officer at Torrington-based EbLens.
