Asda, Aldi and Tesco have all dropped prices on their uniform bits or are launching bundle offers with prices starting from £1.50.
We've rounded up all the deals below.
Of course, always remember to shop around when buying any product, not least school uniform.
Compare prices via price comparison sites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to see if you've found the best deal on any given item.
The Google Shopping/Product tab will give you a basic indication on whether what you've found is well-priced as well.
That said, research by The Sun has found Aldi and Lidl are offering the lowest prices this year.
Asda
Asda has slashed prices on hundreds of school uniform bits with 20% off trousers, shirts and polos.
Prices start from £1.60 for crew neck t-shirts and range up to £16 for five-packs of slim leg boys trousers.
Parents can also buy hoodies for £4, jersey skirts for £5.60 and five-packs of long sleeve tops for £12.
Shoppers on Facebook claim the 20% off offer is running in stores as well.

We have asked Asda if it is available across all stores and what date the offer is running until both online and in-store and will update this story when we've heard back.
Aldi
German discounter Aldi is bringing back it's popular £5 school uniform bundle deal on Sunday (June 29).
The bundle includes two polo shirts, a sweatshirt or cardigan, and a choice of trousers, skirt or cargo shorts – all for a fiver.
Shoppers can't buy the bundle online as Aldi doesn't offer a home delivery service.
As with all Aldi Specialbuys, you'll need to act fast as once they're gone, they're gone.
You don't have to buy the whole bundle and can buy individual uniform items, with prices starting from £1.50.
Sizes are available for kids aged four to 12.
Tesco
Tesco has launched a 25% off sale on its school uniform bits in store and online for Clubcard customers.
You can sign up for a Clubcard for free via the Tesco website or by downloading the app for free on to your smartphone.
The offer is running until June 29, with non-Clubcard prices starting from £3 (£2.25 for Clubcard) for a two-pack of crew neck t-shirt.
Sizes are available for kids aged between four and 16.
If you can't afford to buy school uniform now, Tesco is re-running the 25% off offer between July 22 and July 27.
Alongside the school uniform deal, shoppers can pick up stationery with prices starting from 25p.
How to get discounts on school uniforms
Senior consumer reporter Blathnaid Corless reveals how you can cut costs...
Grants to help with school uniform costs are offered by several councils across England, with up to £200 free cash available to parents.
The Household Support Fund (HSF) is designed to help those on a low income, benefits, or classed as vulnerable.
To apply, you'll need to get in touch with your local council. Most councils have pages on their website dedicated to the HSF, while you can also call your local authority to find out if you are eligible for the support scheme.
Unlike in England, all local authorities in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales offer school uniform grants.
It's also worth checking out your local charity shop to see what's on offer.
Some charity shops have deals with uniform manufacturers and retailers meaning you can get brand new items at bargain prices.
Meanwhile, many schools and community groups run second-hand uniform exchanges where parents can find and donate uniforms.

German firm should think again about wind farm near Glen Affric
On August 6 the German company wrote to community councils saying it had submitted its planning application for 20 mega-sized turbines to the Scottish Government in July after consulting with the community and refining its plans. Those 'refinements' are certainly not obvious and it is doubtful they have changed anything at all after public 'feedback'. Cherry-picked viewpoints, misty visuals and turbines not much larger than cows all serve to try and downplay what will be a catastrophic impact for so many. Apparently, interested parties could view the application on the Energy Consents Unit (ECU) website or visit Beauly post office to have access to a hard copy expected to be thousands of pages long. READ MORE: Elon Musk's Tesla applies to supply energy to UK households The reference number they gave was for another wind farm entirely – it was also on their public notification advert on their website. The correct number was only showing as still in scoping on the ECU – not a planning application. Visits to Beauly post office on August 7 – actually a fuel station and busy shop with a shared counter – established there were no documents and the staff had no idea when or if they would arrive. The venue is several miles from the most impacted community in Kilmorack. Accessing large files online is proving difficult, so provisions must be made for Kilmorack to have a hard copy. The chaos didn't stop there. When the planning application finally appeared on the ECU on August 8, it was for 36 turbines with a much higher installed capacity than the 20-turbine application should have. READ MORE: Labour eye 'utterly reckless' bonfire of nuclear energy regulations EnergieKontor has treated the local communities with little more than contempt. The confusion with so many errors has not endeared itself to an already hostile population. This is the third time a foreign wind developer has attempted to industrialise the same hills, and the majority of visitors to EnergieKontor's public 'consultation' tick-box certainly appeared to be firmly against the development. EnergieKontor has a live planning application in for two met masts for Ballach wind farm. When asked how they could submit a planning application without knowing the wind speeds in the area, they replied that they were using 'historic data'. So why did they waste Highland Council's time and our money and bother with the met masts application if they already had the information required? The historic data from German ABO Wind speculators in the same area was 'insufficient wind', and was why they withdrew their unwanted proposal in 2015. Save yourselves some money, EnergieKontor, and do the same. Leave this community in peace. It is heartily sick of speculating developers like you attempting to industrialise where they live for profit. Lyndsey Ward Beauly INSTEAD of providing coverage of the words of the Palestinian Ambassador, Riyad Mansour, at the emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Sunday (called to debate Israel's plan to take over Gaza City), both the BBC and ITV decided to exclusively cover Benjamin Netanyahu's diversionary event promoting 'fake news' about the deliberate starvation and the plethora of unimaginable atrocities conducted on behalf of Netanyahu's fanatical right-wing government. Sadly, although not unexpectedly, many UK newspapers also decided to effectively repeat Netanyahu's propaganda rather than provide a serious attempt at some semblance of reporting balance. READ MORE: John Swinney interview: The FM on indyref2, Israel, energy and more How can any media claiming impartiality refer to 20 despicably-held Israeli 'hostages' without mentioning the thousands of Palestinians who have been summarily abducted, many subsequently suffering from beatings and torture? How can journalists refer to a 'war' without pointing out that Israel has overwhelming military superiority (supported by weapons and intelligence from the US/UK) and is carrying out unfettered destruction and annihilation of the Palestinians? With the latest deliberate slaughter of Palestinian journalists (on the pretext of one being a Hamas operative but with no evidence presented to back this claim) surely it is time for UK journalists, including those at the BBC and ITV, to speak out and end this reporting sham, which in effect helps to facilitate the starvation and continuing massacre of innocent men, women and helpless children. Stan Grodynski Longniddry, East Lothian DAVID Lammy continues to deny information from RAF intelligence flights is passed to the Israeli genocide force. The MoD says that only hostage location information is passed. Somebody is not very good at their job if there are any unfound hostages even after 500-plus flights have taken place since December 2023. I think it would be reasonable if the flights were to continue over Israel so that the location of Palestinians held without trial or legal representation could be established. M Ross Aviemore

Four Volkswagen executives sentenced in latest Dieselgate ruling – Can you still claim compensation?
*If you click on a link in this article we will earn affiliate revenue NEW CLAIM Four Volkswagen executives sentenced in latest Dieselgate ruling – Can you still claim compensation? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A four year trial concluded when a German court sentenced four former Volkswagen directors for their part in the diesel cheating emission scandal uncovered in 2015. Two defendants received prison sentences, with the former head of diesel motor development receiving the heaviest term of four years and six months. 1 Many other car brands in the UK are also offering compensation Credit: Alamy While the trial might have been brought to a close, prosecutors are still uncovering how widely the scandal was known around the company. According to the Financial Times, criminal proceedings against a total of 31 defendants are still pending. Volkswagen is also facing a separate civil case, where it may have to pay damages for the effects dieslgate had on the markets. Currently, the emission cheating scandal has cost Volkswagen billions, with some of this money owed to UK drivers as compensation. Check Diesel emissions claims eligibility What was Dieselgate? In September 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an American environmental regulatory body, found a 'defeat device' in many US Volkswagens. This was a piece of software which would make the vehicle look less polluting than it was during emissions testing. Volkswagen later admitted that this software could be found in millions of vehicles worldwide - including models across the UK and Europe. In the UK, over 1.2 million diesels were recalled once the EPA found these devices. This included thousands of Volkswagens, Audis, and Skodas. However, Diesel Claim, a law firm, believes many other vehicle manufacturers are guilty of fitting these devices too. That includes Ford, BMW, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes, Renault, and Nissan. Can I still claim compensation? Diesel Claim said UK drivers are due compensation for this scandal, and it is fighting the case for claimants in court. It believes it has affected the resale value of affected vehicles, led to higher fuel costs for consumers, and increased your carbon footprint - meaning drivers should receive a pay out. To be eligible to claim compensation through Diesel Claim, you need to have bought a diesel vehicle between 2009 and 2019. The vehicle must also have been manufactured between these dates. If you're unsure, you can type your vehicle's registration number into its claims checker. Claimants could receive up to £10,000 in compensation. Diesel Claim works on a no win no fee basis, meaning you won't need to pay any fees for joining. It's only if you're successfully awarded compensation that Diesel Claim will take a cut of your compensation.

Hurzeler speaks out after Brighton respond to Man Utd transfer bid for Baleba
Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler says he is 'not afraid' about losing his most important players as the club have repeatedly proven they are able to survive and 'find solutions'. The Seagulls' recruitment model – selling on previously undervalued young talent for huge profit – has seen the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Yves Bissouma and Leandro Trossard all leave for big money in recent years. Joao Pedro became the latest in a long line of high-profile departures at Brighton when he left the Amex Stadium to join Chelsea in an agreement worth up to £60million last month. While Brighton have made sure to strengthen Hurzeler's squad with the addition of six new signings across a busy summer transfer window, there is mounting speculation that another of their top stars, Carlos Baleba, could be set for the exit door. Manchester United have set their sights on Baleba after wrapping up deals for Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, with Ruben Amorim keen for reinforcements in central midfield after a wretched season last term. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. And while Brighton reportedly rejected United's player-plus-cash offer for Baleba out of hand, the Red Devils could be set to return with a follow-up bid for the 21-year-old Cameroon international in due course. It's understood the south coast outfit are demanding an eye-watering fee in excess of £100m for the sought-after youngster. 'No chance. I don't feel fear,' Hurzeler told the BBC when asked if he was worried about Brighton selling key figures within his squad. 'I'm not afraid of anything because the only thing we can do is be the best version we can be every day, like work as hard as we can. 'All the other things we can't influence, so we really have to focus on us. 'For sure, we can't spend the money like the big teams but one of our biggest values is togetherness. And if you stay together, if we try to push our limits and increase the boundaries, then I'm sure we can compete with the big teams.' While Hurzeler admits Brighton have lost an 'unbelievable player' in Pedro, he is confident the club can continue to be 'very competitive' on the back of their eighth-placed finish last season. 'It's not easy, but we proved last season that we are a very competitive team,' the German added. 'Without Joao Pedro, for sure, he was an unbelievable player. But we can't replace him with one player, but we can replace him as a team. And that's our focus.' Hurzeler has been encouraged by the 'team chemistry' and 'togetherness' he has seen amongst his players on the training ground ahead of the new season. 'We as a club always find solutions and I'm sure in the future we will find solutions. That's our model, we have to accept it,' the Brighton boss continued. 'I think that as a club we have proved we are not only selling big players. We have had offers for other players – big offers for [Kaoru] Mitoma and other players. We proved that we are not selling every player. 'Of course there were some big players who left the club, but there are new players that are coming into the club. 'With the togetherness we have, with the team chemistry we have, we can compete with the big teams, and we can compete with teams who might be individually better than us.' More Trending At a fan forum last week, Brighton CEO Paul Barber insisted he had not spoken to United over Baleba, but was unable to provide any assurances over the midfielder's future. 'There's always going to be interest in our players,' he said. 'Manchester United have not been in touch with me. Speculation is speculation.' 'Carlos is a fantastic talent. We hope he'll be here for years to come – but its subject to the dynamics of the football world, which isn't always predictable.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
