Cheap school uniform deals
With schools about to re-open, here's our rundown on the cheapest school uniform items, whether you're after something last minute or just need a few spares. However, stock is extremely limited, so see these as places to try and not a guarantee.
Sadly, some schools won't allow generic uniform, which we're not happy about, but we hope the below is still of some use.

If you shop in store at Lidl (find your nearest), you can get a full school uniform for £5 (ages 4-12). Lidl is price-matching Aldi with this price. This deal began in July and is only while stocks last, so you may not be able to find a full uniform set now.
What's included?
- Sweatshirt – £1.50
- 2x polo shirts – £1.75
- Girl's pleated skirt – £1.75
- Boy's trousers – £1.75
Regardless of size, the prices stay the same, so it's no more expensive to kit out the bigger kids than the littl'uns.
This deal is only available in stores and you can't check stock levels online, so you'll need to head to your local store to see if you're able to find any.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!

- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then 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.

4 September 2023![]()
The 2023 academic year is about to start, and it'll see the biggest shake-up to student finance in England for a decade. The changes are both subtle and massive.
