  • I think school uniform seems cheaper than ever this year....Asda doing 3 for 2, Sainsburys 25% off....can't grumble really. Decent shoes can still be pricey though.

    Nice. I've rarely seen uniform reduced, apart from as BettiePage said, or perhaps the odd summer dress in the winter and I've been buying it for 15 years :eek: Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places!
    Sprog starts 6th form next week so no more school uniform to buy! :j

    I had an email from Telegraph promotions today, they have a voucher for a further 10% off schoolwear at Debenhams, instore or online. There is already 50% off so this makes it 60%

    :eek:

    Mothercare are doing buy 1 get 1 half price.
    never thought to look in there, and they appear good quality, bought pinafore for just £2 and 3 polo shirts are just £6, also good coats £22 included

    HTH
    How much ?????????!!!
  • Im neither lazy or selfish.

    I'm afraid you're both.
  • I reckon your best plan with uniform is to buy it early. I got all mine from M&S when the 3 for 2 deal was on, if I went along now I bet they wouldn't have the choice of styles or the sizes in. Plus I wouldn't fancy having to sew all those name tags in straight away, it takes me all the school holidays to do that lol
  • Most of the supermarkets return the un-sold stock to the depot to be repackaged ready for next year.

  • Every year that for the last few years Sainsburys have reduced uniform. Try looking in a week or so. If I notice when I am there I will post. hth. 4 children under 8 I am suprised you have time to ask any question.
