A POPULAR supermarket has slashed the price of school shirts to just a QUID.
Delighted parents took to Facebook to inform fellow shoppers about the bargain deal – and some have even been stocking up for next year.
According to one social media user, Chris Amy Williams, who shared the news on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, shoppers could now get the school essential for a mere quid.
What’s more, he revealed in the post, the incredible offer has also been applied to some white shirts for kids that come in a two-pack – so, you’re basically paying just 50p per shirt.
As seen by Chris, bargain lovers can also get their hands on a lovely pastel blue short sleeve shirt that’s reduced from £4.50 for a two-pack to £3.
Whether you’re after a regular fit, a 3/4 sleeve or a long sleeve shirt, it appears that there are plenty of options – and the snap had quite a few packages left in stock.
Writing on the group, Chris said: ”Not sure if this will be of use to anyone but school shirts £1 in Asda.”
However, it’s also worth noting that some bargain lovers claimed their local branch didn’t have this offer going on – so keep this in mind to avoid any disappointment.
Since being shared on the page – which has over a whopping 2.4million members – the post has racked up hundreds of likes and comments.
One person told their pal: ”Grab loads now for Oliver starting high school.”
Another chimed in, telling their friend: ”Don’t know if our Asda have them in but worth a look.”
A shopper moaned: ”Never have prices like this in the Corby one.”
”Might be worth a look for September,” a Facebook member reckoned, as someone else was already stocking up the next year.
Easy way to slash costs at your next weekly shop
Most supermarkets, including Asda, are also selling beauty essentials – but did you know there’s a simple hack which gives you the same product but for less?
Recently, one cash-savvy mum, Lynn, explained why explained why buying your beauty items from the beauty section may not always be the most purse-friendly option.
In a video posted on TikTok, the savvy shopper claimed that ”supermarkets take us for fools” and there’s a way to slash the bill by the tills.
According to Lynn – better known to her fans as @ohmysavings – there is a ”big mistake” customers typically make when buying their beauty essentials, such as cotton pads and cotton buds.
In the clip, she proved how by switching the aisles you could save money – and it takes seconds just seconds.
For instance, if your were to buy a pack of cotton pads by Tesco’s own brand, you’d pay £1.50 – or £1.85 for oval ones.
”But if you go the Baby section, the exact same amount – 50 cotton pads – cost you £1.15, saving you 70p.
”And if you go for cotton balls, a hundred in the Beauty section will set you back £1.55.”
Meanwhile, the very same product in the Baby aisle is priced at £1.50, saving 5p – and whilst it may not seem like a lot, it all adds up over time.
Money saving tips for parents
WE'VE put together six top tips to cut costs, nab freebies and to make sure you're not fined.
- Free prescriptions and dental care– Prescriptions cost £9.15 a pop in England, while NHS dental costs vary by location. You can get both for free while you’re pregnant and for 12 months after your baby’s due date. Ask your doctor or midwife for a maternity exemption certificate (MATEX) to claim the free care.
- Free milk, infant formula, vitamins or fruit and veg– Under the Healthy Start programme, you may be entitled to the freebies if you’re at least 10 weeks pregnant or you have a child under four and you’re on certain benefits, such as Universal Credit.
- £500 free grant– In England, Northern Ireland and Wales you may be entitled to a Sure Start grant of £500 if you’re on certain benefits and expecting your first child or expecting more than one baby – such as twins.To claim, you need to fill out the following form on Gov.uk and get your doctor or midwife to sign it.
- Register the birth in time or face a £200 fine– You need to register the birth within 42 days of your baby being born with your local registry office. This costs £11 in England and Wales.
- Update a will or update it– If you don’t have a will, in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, where one parent dies, children will only inherit cash if the estate is worth more than £250,000 – otherwise all the money will go to the surviving spouse. If you don’t want that to happen, you need to get a will stating your wishes.
- Consider getting life insurance– No-one likes to think about death but if something happened to you, could the family survive without your salary? If not, you many want to consider life insurance. Use a comparison service to find not only the cheapest, but the most suitable cover for your needs.
