Best school uniform deals and discounts - how to save money
The average spend per child is £108.59 according to the research, which asked parents to estimate how much they usually spend on back to school clothing and products, per child, per year. More than four-fifths (44%) of parents of children of school age splurge the most on shoes, while 16% said blazers are the most costly purchase and 11% splash the cash the most on stationery, according to website MyVoucherCodes. The survey also found that 42% of parents now opt for second-hand clothes to help ease the financial burden. A further 38% of parents said they have bought plain clothing and attach the school logo separately. Those who did this typically estimated they saved more than £40 per year. One in eight (12%) parents surveyed start back to school shopping in the first week of the summer holidays, while 13% who are planning even further ahead start as early as April. Morrisons has cut the price of school uniform for More Card holders, with 25% off across the whole range of essentials. But, be quick, as the deal ends on Sunday (July 20).
