Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.
This week’s question: My five-year-old twins are starting school and I’ve got a long uniform list to buy. John Lewis wants £15 each for dresses while Asda cheapies start at £5. New to this, and needing two of everything, I’m wondering if the cheap ones last, or are they a false economy?
