Supermarket bargains<\/span><\/p>\n

As with many things in life today, the first place to try for bargains has to be the supermarkets.\u00a0 No longer just the domain of the weekly food shop, most of them now stock an impressive range of school clothing and at some astounding prices.\u00a0 For example, ALDI\/LIDL have a \u2018while stocks last\u2019 range at the moment in some of their shops that includes two polo shirts, a round neck sweater and either a skirt or pair of trousers for the astounding price of \u00a33.50 and shoes for \u00a36.99.\u00a0 The clothing may not be the very highest quality but if your kids are the type to have scuffled holes in their trousers within a week, then quality is a secondary concern!<\/span><\/p>\n

Morrison\u2019s Nutmeg range is another big name that have jumped into the school wear department in a big way.\u00a0 All of their shops have a selection of items available and there are some good prices to be had.\u00a0 They are also very good quality and are rivalling many of the other supermarkets<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesco have a range of offers in place for the Back to School period including uniform and other essentials.\u00a0 As most people will have just had their Clubcard vouchers through, there is the Clubcard exchange that allows \u00a35 to become \u00a310 to spend on school uniforms and this is running until\u00a013th September<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 There are also offers in addition to this such as two gingham summer dresses for early in the term for just \u00a37 and also a range of stationary essentials on half price.\u00a0 Tesco have a click and collect service as well so if your local shop doesn\u2019t have the items, it can be sent from another and picked up a day or two later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-loved bargains<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to sorting out the uniform that no longer fits, why not donate to a pre-loved site or a Freecycle website?\u00a0 There are plenty of these on Facebook and as standalone websites, while many schools offer a uniform recycling service that allows parents to donate uniform items that are wearable but no longer any use for their kids.\u00a0 That way you clear out space in the wardrobe for the new items and lend a hand to others who need it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Facebook is also handy for finding groups that produce iron-on badges to add to bargain clothing and thus saving money on expensive, school logo clothing.\u00a0 Sew on options can also be found and will work out less costly than buying the new version ready-made from the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, check out websites that collect coupons and codes for money off deals, as many of them will be running back to school sections at this time of the year.\u00a0 These can ideal for finding those special bargains that aren\u2019t well advertised but that can save you a lot of money.\u00a0 One example is a cashback site that currently offers 11.4% cashback on any Clarks shoes bought, so this helps offset the initial cost a little.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
