Original caption

Calling all parents & guardians! 🔊 This is for uniforms for 11-12 year olds – prices vary with age! (In case you missed it in our stories) This has really sparked a debate in our house, because even though the cheapest option for each is in yellow, I don't think they're always the best value 🤔 For example, grabbing a 5-pack of shirts from Sainsbury's makes way more sense than a 2-pack from Matalan, and it's actually cheaper per shirt. And while M&S clothes might be pricier upfront, I think they last longer, so my math says that's also cheaper in the long run (just a heads up, I've only ever bought uniforms for girls!) What do you think?? #backtoschool #budgetinguk #costofliving #schoolunifrom #MoneySaving
