It seems crazy to talk about Back to School season when we haven't even broken up for the summer holidays yet but John Lewis has a cracking sale on all sorts of uniform bits until tomorrow and you'd be mad to miss out.
If you're anything like me, you don't even think about Back to School season until the end of the summer, at which point you're doomed to spend days queuing outside shoe shops only to discover that all the school shoes in your child's size have sold out. We've only just sorted the best teacher gifts, after all! But with all of us looking to make our money go further, it makes sense to spend less on back-to-school costs if you can. And one of the best ways to do that is by getting all your uniform and back-to-school essentials bought before the kids even finish for the holidays. Yes, really. Trust me on this; my eldest is 18 years old so I'm something of a veteran when it comes to back-to-school shopping.
So you can imagine my glee when I stumbled across the John Lewis sale today and noticed that they're slashed up to 30% off kids clothing - including school uniforms. Oh, happy day. For just £26.20 I nabbed two easy-care polo shirts, which my daughter's school chooses instead of shirts, plus 2 more polo shirts for PE and a pair of school culottes in the next size up that are so cool that she's desperate to wear them for the rest of this term. In the past I've spent more than that on a school skirt alone! Just a few school socks to pop in my basket next month and we're practically ready for September....
