- Shop around for school uniforms: you don’t have to be confined to the school shop; supermarkets have very good back to school ranges nowadays. Asda has George, Sainsbury’s has TU and Tesco has F&F.
- If your children want the latest gadgets, make them work for it! If they are teenagers, encourage them to get a paper round of part time job to earn a little money, and then they can save up. If they are younger, encourage them to do jobs around the house for their pocket money.
- Children grow, quickly! When buying school uniforms, buy them a size bigger so they will last longer.
- Give your children a budget. Telling them what they have to spend can help them learn the tricky art of budgeting.
