Clothes shopping for your children can be a massive cost for many families. Children grow so fast that they often need new clothes every month or so, especially when they are younger. Once they start school you may find yourself having to buy uniform more than one or twice a year as not only do they grow out of it but often it quickly becomes worn out.

Many of the supermarkets now do school uniform making the clothes relatively cheap to buy but you may need to shop around and experiment to find out which ones last and which ones do not. If the school your child goes to have a strange colour scheme then you may find it hard to find a uniform that fits in with their guidelines in the supermarkets and may have to fork out more money buying them online etc.

Something to consider is, often you can get a discount by buying uniform after the season has started or when it is out of season, for example, shorts or summer dresses in winter. If you can be organised enough to think ahead and buy clothing in this way you can often save a small fortune!
