Showing off the incredible haul on Facebook, Samantha said: ''Stationery all reduced in Tesco. ''Less than £10 for all this.'' In the post, Samantha - one of the 2.6million members of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group - revealed she had also purchased cut-price finger paint set, Tipp-Ex, several sticky tapes and neon sticky notes. Other wallet-friendly bargains in the epic sale also included glue sticks and colourful highlighters.

Keen to snap up the goodies, more than 300 members of the page flooded to comments, where many tagged their friends and family. I've only ever bought one jumper and a shirt Janine McDonald uses swaps and local community resources to find school uniform for her two daughters – now 13 and 15. They're both in different schools, with different uniform, but Janine, who is a single mum, has limited the expense by swapping and finding donated items to fit both girls. She says: 'At both schools, they have a pre-loved uniform section, so you can go in and either swap something or buy it for just literally a couple of pounds.' In Manchester where Janine lives there are Gateway centres which are a 'one-stop-shop' for a wide range of council and community services. She added: 'The local gateway hubs hold a uniform Donation Point so you can just drop off any uniform there, and then anybody is free just to come and have a look and take anything that they need. 'I find they last absolutely fine, so I don't need to buy new. "I reckon that has saved me a couple of hundred pounds for each child.' Janine, who has taken her recycling expertise and turned it into a decluttering business Clear the Clutter Now, says that setting up or joining a community WhatsApp group is another way to get cheap uniform. The mum explains: 'In the streets around where I live at the end of the school year, we'll put on there, whatever age trousers we've got from whichever school, and then people just give them to each other.' She recommends that parents, as well as looking for free uniform, take school uniform lists with a pinch of salt. 'You get the uniform list, and sometimes it recommends, five pairs of trousers, or X number of this, X number of that,' she says. 'Realistically, you don't need that many. "You can always buy one to start with and top up if needed.' One cried after realising they had paid the full price: ''We shopped to soon.'' ''Love a bargain,'' someone else chimed in. A third exclaimed: ''OH MY GOOD LORD, I AM GOING TO END UP LIKE A KID IN A CANDY SHOP! THANKS FOR THE POST!'' A fourth warned: ''Not reduced in Coventry today but fab bargain if they are in your area.'' ''Cost me 35 pound for my kids,'' a mum had seen the post too late.
