That number is more than Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day combined! Computers, calculators, and phones account for a serious chunk of average household spending—[roughly $200](https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/back-school-and-college-spending-reach-828-billion).  And nothing is more disheartening than losing an expensive piece of tech to an unexpected power surge.
