    I'm not sure there will be 3 for 2 this rye I think they are sticking by the 20% off for best deal this yr.

    I'm in Scotland, our kids are back in 2.5 weeks..and I may be wrong but I've not even seen the Tesco bundles yet either.

    I mainly buy in advance during sales (I have 3 girls so between the 3 of them my bargains aren't normally in error, they will fit one if not the other!) and when they have 25% off in mr s and mr t. Although I've noticed they haven't been as frequent this yr either

    I had a good day today , went over budget but feel it was worth it & can relax now as all I need to get for DGS is sox!!

    Got some LOVELY well made sturdy leather shoes reduced from 19.99 to just 9.99 @ Deichmann instore , they only had his size left and my DD loved them & def approved so I bought them!!!

    THEN we went into Sports Direct & I got him a lovely trendy & warm winter jacket reduced from 39.99 to just 14.99 ..... Were both THRILLED and smiling and the sweet thing is DGS loved it so much he didn't want to take it off! lol

    This jacket is good value @ 5.49 only size 9-10 yrs left though ; http://www.sportsdirect.com/airwalk-reverse-jacket-junior-607176

    SO - WORTH A LOOK in both stores and possibly online too - The Deichmann store ONLINE HAS BUY ONE GET ONE HALF PRICE ON ALL SCHOOL SHOES @ THE MOMENT - So if you have TWO LO's to buy for it MIGHT COME IN HANDY as the prices and quality are not bad - I got the AGAXY brand quality leather ones which were 19.99 but like I said 9.99 instore in sale , just 3 pairs left in a size 10!

    Anyone know where I can source school trousers for a 2-3 year old boy?

    DS has just turned 4 and starts school in September, but the 3-4 trousers I got from Morrisons swamped him round the tummy and were too long.

    Ideally I would like these at a reasonable cost, but at the moment I'm just panicking that I won't be able to find him anything x

    Hiya. Next do slim fitting trousers if that helps? And they go down to a size 3.

    Does anyone know if school uniform is easy to buy around Christmas? Mine start preschool in Jan and I'm wondering if it'd be easier/cheaper to buy now?
    I have twin boys so I will need to buy a lot in one size!

    No it's not i needed new jumpers for my kids at xmas cause i bought cheap tesco ones and they shrunk, the only place that had the colour i needed was asda (which turned out to be brilliant jumpers, not as thick as m&s tho but alos not 3 times the price), however sep time is a brilliant time to buy uniform as everyones already got theres so it's usually half price.

    I would just buy it now or soon atleast, i think asda do school uniform all year round though. There is normally somewhere that has an offer on, plus sometimes they seem to run out of certain sizes.
  • I got some of my uniform shopping using the Tesco Bundle offer last year..DD loved the coat. Just wondering if anyone knows when this offer is likely to be...if at all this year?
    I know last year it was some point in August.

    It was towards the middle of August I bought my Tesco bundle school uniform last year.
