Aldi reveals when cheap school uniforms are coming back – and it's earlier than ever
Aldi's famous school uniform bundle is back and landing earlier than ever. Parents will be able to get their hands on the budget-busting Back to School range. 1 The bundle includes two polo shirts, a sweatshirt or cardigan, and a choice of trousers, skirt or cargo shorts – all for a fiver. That's right, a full school uniform for just £5. Aldi has confirmed the range will hit supermarket stores on Saturday June 29. The supermarket giant has frozen the price for the fourth year running, helping cash-strapped families stretch their budgets during the cost-of-living crunch. But you'll need to move fast – like all of Aldi's Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. It's no wonder this deal flies off the shelves every year. With prices starting from just £1.50, and sizes available for kids aged 4 to 12, it's the perfect chance to get ahead of the summer scramble and sort schoolwear early. Whether you're prepping for reception or restocking for Year 6, this deal's a no-brainer. And Aldi isn't skimping on quality either – the uniforms come with a 12-month satisfaction guarantee, giving parents peace of mind that the kit will survive through the year. The eco-conscious will be pleased too as the range is made using recycled polyester and supports Cotton Made in Africa, so kids can stay smart without costing the Earth. Aldi shoppers demand Walmart-style checkout policy to be axed after customer stunned by item 'loophole' With shoppers expected to flock to stores, Aldi's urging parents to mark their calendars and stock up before shelves are stripped bare. The deal will only be available in stores so you'll have to head to your local Aldi. It's worth calling up ahead and checking if they're in stock before making a trip. How does it compare? At Asda, the same bundle - two shirts, a cardigan and a skirt – will set you back £18. For boys, a sweatshirt, two-pack shirts and cargo shorts comes to £18.50. Over at Tesco, you're looking at £6 for two shirts, £4 for a sweatshirt and £9 for cargo shorts – a total of £19. And if your little one wears a pinafore, a two-pack will cost you £10. This makes Aldi's uniform deal the cheapest by far. Its always good to compare prices across different stores to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. Save money Aldi How to save money when shopping at Aldi Unlike other major grocers, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop. Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in store. The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what's new. Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its 'super six' deal. It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish. Plus, it's worth keeping an eye out for products with red stickers on them. These are added to items that have been reduced due to them being close to their best before date or slightly damaged. The best time to get these reduced products is towards the end of the day, when you can get discounts worth up to 75%. How can I save money on school uniforms? IF you are struggling to afford the cost of school uniform or PE kit, you may be able to apply for a grant from your local council - but the criteria vary from council to council. This is usually in the form of a one-off payment paid directly into your bank account. Some councils will reimburse payments made to approved retailers. You can ask your local council what help is available and when you need to apply. If you can't get targeted help from your council, there are other options to get cheap uniform. Speak to your school to see if they can offer you some clothing. Some charities offer help to families in need too. Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you. Charity shops can also be a good place to find cheap school uniform.
