Many parents are buying school uniform second hand
Preloved uniform is a great option, as kids grow so quickly it's often hardly worn.
Sarah-Jane Outten, a shopping and money expert at MyVoucherCodes, said: 'The cost of school uniforms and supplies can add significant pressure to household budgets, especially during the summer holidays.
'It's encouraging to see parents using creative and cost-effective methods like buying second-hand or personalising plain uniforms to save money. With a bit of planning, there are real opportunities to cut costs without compromising on quality.'
How to save more money on back to school items:
Team up with other parents for school uniform swaps. Look for second-hand items online and school uniform exchanges taking place locally. Buy plain items from supermarkets and add school logos. Time your purchases. Leaving it until later in the summer could mean items are out of stock, although there may be a chance to find a last-minute bargain.
Some 1,000 parents of school-aged children were surveyed by OnePoll in June and July for the research.

Kellogg's reveals SIX new snacks including ‘irresistible treat' on shelves at Morrisons and Sainsbury's
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KELLOGG'S has revealed six new snacks including an "irresistible treat" being sold at Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Shoppers are desperate to try the fresh flavours dropping this month, from Pop Tarts to Squares. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Kellogg's revealed six new snacks including an "irresistible treat" being sold at Morrisons and Sainsbury's The latest edition of Rice Krispies Squares are sure to be a fan favourite, Honeycomb and Chocolate. These goodies boast a scrumptious twists on the classic - a layer of golden honeycomb topped with milk chocolate. And, bargain hunters will be impressed by the £2.25 price tag for a packet of four. Meanwhile, Pop Tarts lovers are sure to enjoy the all-new Frosted Choco Orange Flavour. They make the perfect on-the-go snack, and a box of eight can be enjoyed for just £3.00. For any gym-goers looking to pack more protein into their day, the new Kellogg's High Protein Bars can offer an extra 8g. They contain roasted almonds, other crunchy nuts, rich chocolate and gooey caramel. There are two flavours to chose from, Almond and Dark Chocolate or Almond and Salted Caramel Flavour. Stocked on shelves for £2.50 per pack of four, these handy snack bars work out at just 0.62p each. Finally, Kellogg's Oaties cereal bars are sure to make a healthy yet delicious addition to any packed lunch. Kellogg's discontinues breakfast cereal They're made with 55 per cent wholegrain oats which makes them a great source of fibre. Shoppers can decide between the Chocolate and Oat or Honey and Oat - or both - at just £2.25 per four pack. All of the new goodies are available at Sainsbury's and Morrisons from mid July. They will be rolled out in Tesco and Asda from September. This comes as Kellogg's revealed two brand new cereals just months after its "tastiest" popular breakfast staple was axed. The latest additions to the cereal giant's lineup are now available at four major UK supermarkets and come with a very reasonable price tag. Kellogg's Oaties is a new oat-based crunchy cereal that's perfect for giving a morning energy boost for all ages. The cereals are available in either Original Crunch or Choco Crunch flavours, both of which are designed to keep their cereal pieces crunchy, even when soaked in milk. High in fibre, the cereal also has added vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and iron to help your metabolism. The 500g packs of new cereal, designed for families, are priced at just £3.49. Kellogg's said food developers worked for months to perfect the "unique, multilayered texture" to ensure the crunchiness of each bite. Oats and cereal flours were carefully blended with "quality ingredients" to make the dough which was gently cooked and shaped into the pillow-like bites, the cereal giant added. Crucially, both these new flavours are non-HFSS (high in fat, salt, and sugar) and have up to 8.9g of fibre per every 100g of cereal. The recommended daily intake of fibre is 30g, according to government guidelines. This now also means that four of the five bestselling cereals from Kellogg's are non-HFSS: Special K, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes. Caroline Deeley, R&D Cereal Technical Manager, Kellogg's, said: 'Our world-class R&D team has worked tirelessly to perfect the new Oaties recipe, bringing together delicious flavour, nutrition, and a unique texture that keeps its crunch – something we know cereal fans up and down the country will appreciate. "It's also packed with wholegrains from oats, providing morning energy for families to kick start the day, whatever their morning routine looks like. "It's been many months in the making, but we're confident our new Oaties range will be well worth the wait.' In other Kellogg's news, the company confirmed a childhood favourite cereal has sadly been discontinued again following a mass recall last year. The breakfast giant has confirmed to The Sun that its chocolate-flavoured Corn Flakes are not returning to shelves. Last May, Kellogg's urgently recalled the cereal from the shelves amid fears the product could lead to choking or dental damage. It was pulled from shelves last spring and has not been seen since, leaving many shoppers to ask where it had gone. Writing on X, one user said: "Did @KelloggsUKI discontinue chocolate cornflakes again?". Another wrote: "I know you recalled chocolate cornflakes, but are they ever going to be back again, they were only brought back for a few weeks then re called." A third posted: "Any idea when your chocolate cornflakes are coming back in store?" Earlier this week, rumours swirled online that the cereal was due to make a return to shelves. Shoppers were really excited when they spotted the rumour, with one customer writing: "glad to hear it". Another wrote: "When when when?!!" While a third posted: "YES they were 10/10." A Kellogg's spokesperson said: "We love that Kellogg's fans are so passionate about their favourite cereals and we're proud to be a part of millions of people's breakfasts each morning in the UK. "We can never say never, but while there are no current plans to bring back Chocolate Corn Flakes, we do have lots of other exciting new products out now, like Kellogg's Oaties and Bluey Multigrain cereal, with more coming next year for cereal lovers to try.' And it's not the first time Kellogg's has waved goodbye to a beloved snack. Last summer the food giant axed All Bran Golden Crunch, in a blow to shoppers. Two years ago shoppers were also horrified to learn the cereal giant had axed Frosties from its multi pack boxes as it contained too much sugar.

Morrisons selling GIANT sweet treat that's perfect match for the Lionesses' Euros Final
The supermarket has brought the popular cookie back in time for match-day gatherings EAT UP Morrisons selling GIANT sweet treat that's perfect match for the Lionesses' Euros Final Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Morrisons is marking the Lionesses' Euros Final this Sunday with a giant sweet treat. The supermarket is selling a 10‑inch novelty football cookie for £7. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Morrisons Giant Football Cookie is available at Market Street stores Credit: Morrisons The Morrisons Giant Football Cookie is sold at Market Street stores. The large, chocolate-flavoured bake is made with milk, cocoa and wheat flour. It comes as England prepare to face Spain on Sunday in a rematch of the World Cup final two years ago, where Spain won 1-0. The cookie, spotted by shoppers in the Facebook group Snack News & Reviews, is billed as perfect for sharing at match-day gatherings as fans cheer on the Lionesses to bring it home. This isn't the first football cookie Morrisons has offered - the novelty treat tends to make a return around big football events. It comes after the supermarket faced criticism over its new delivery charge. Shoppers now face a £3 fee on orders under £40, up from the previous £25 minimum spend. The change, rolled out on July 14, has drawn concern from smaller households and elderly customers who often place smaller orders. The charge does not apply to customers with a paid delivery pass. Consumer advocate Martyn James said: 'Online deliveries became a lifeline for people over the pandemic. Iconic 80s retro sweet RETURNS to UK supermarket shelves after a decade 'But for millions of people they continue to be essential. "Introducing charges like this might seem small, but for people struggling to make ends meet, they really can have a huge impact. 'Online deliveries help people with disabilities, those working multiple jobs. older and more vulnerable people and families on a tight budget using online services to stay within very tight budget limits. 'These charges seem deeply unfair for those who need deliveries the most.' Morrisons said: 'We have recently introduced a £3 delivery fee supplement to customers who order a basket of £40 or under to be delivered to their home. 'This fee will not apply to our paid Delivery Pass Customers and even with the additional fee our prices remain competitive versus the rest of the market.' Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's all charge extra fees on delivery orders below their minimum basket values - £3 for under £40 at Asda, £5 for under £50 at Tesco and £7 for under £40 at Sainsbury's.
