‘Back to school’ can be an expensive time for parents, from buying uniforms to ensuring kids have their stationery supplies.
Thankfully, high-street supermarkets are hoping to reduce this expense by offering staple items for cheap prices.
Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl and Asda have all released their back to school uniform ranges and we’ve done a comparison.
We’ve added up the total price of two polo shirts, one pair of trousers, a skirt and a jumper for each supermarket to see which is the cheapest.
