The start of August can be a good time to buy new school uniform, because often the cheapest options (including Aldi and Lidl's full uniform from £4ish) are only available for a limited time...
Generally, stores sell items in multipacks and it isn't possible to buy them individually. When we quote prices in our headlines we take this into account and quote the cost of buying a full school uniform using multipacks. Most of the stores below offer other school clothing items such as P.E. kit, but we've focused on the basics to show a clear-cut comparison.
Before buying, check your child's school doesn't require you to get uniform from a specific supplier. Some schools won't allow generic/supermarket uniform – we're not happy about this – but we hope the below is still of some use.

Martin's Money Mantras
Before spending
If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.
Skint? Ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
Not skint? Ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

Thank you.” One year even the Archbishop of... -
Martin Lewis: I confess, I did a 'decoy effect' experiment on my Twitter and Facebook followers… and it may be why they're buying more Jaffa Cakes
Behavioural economics is a powerful science. Some retailers are undoubtedly using it to make us pay more to get less. One element is the 'decoy effect' – where a higher-priced item is sold, to make items next to it look like bargains. So I wanted to do a little experiment to test it -

Within the last week, we've seen the extension of coronavirus credit card, personal loan and overdraft help to 31 October 2020, with mortgage payment holidays already extended.
