‘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.
1. Sainsbury’s
Total price: £10.84.
The full school uniform range can be seen below, with links to buy online.
2. Morrisons
Total price: £10.
The Morrisons range comes from their Nutmeg clothing range. The supermarket’s website has a full range of additional items including socks, pants and sportswear.
3. Aldi
Total price: £5.19.
With Aldi’s back to school range, when the items are gone, they don’t reorder them. You can buy clothes online or instore.
4. Asda
Total price: £11.50.
The George clothing range at Asda stocks the essentials for school uniform, as well as everything else. Head to the website to see their additional range including sports clothes, school shoes and swimwear.
