With the September Back To School rush now looming, many parents will be looking to buy last-minute uniform items. There are now plenty of options available, with supermarket giants like ASDA, Tesco (F+F), Sainsbury's (Tu) and Marks and Spencer having secured themselves as easy 'go-to' brands for those purchasing a uniform on a budget.
But working out which supermarket's school uniform is really the best value for money can be a tricky task. Prices are now competetive, with each brand offering its own deals and products.
