Supermarkets Aldi and Lidl are once again battling it out to become the high street bargain champions of school uniform.
With Lidl offering parents the chance to snap up a full uniform for £4.50, Aldi has gone one better, with a bundle for just £4.
Lidl's version includes a twin pack of polo shirts for £1.75, trousers, shorts or skirt for £1.75 and a round neck sweatshirt for £1.
Aldi's price cut brings its prices to just 50p for a round neck jumper, £1.75 for two polo shirts and £1.75 for trousers or a skirt.
Lidl’s kit is available in stores from Thursday, August 6, while Aldi's is online from Sunday, August 9 and in stores from Thursday, August 13.
Both chains are bracing themselves for a sell out as parents race to stock up on the bargains before popular sizes are snapped up.
According to a study, parents buy an average of 38 pieces of school kit each year from coats and shoes to sports gear and accessories and spend an average of £500 for two children.
It is estimated kitting out kids from top to toe from the budget chains’ Back to School ranges works out 10 times cheaper at £50.
As well as the basics, their ranges include everything from school socks and sports shorts, to pumps, trainers and waterproof jackets.
