The new school year is less than a month away
With the start of the new school year less than one month away, parents will already be preparing their little ones and making sure they are ready for the term ahead.
New school uniforms can be one of the biggest costs for parents with charities often noting than many households can struggle with the prices, particularly if they are meant to buy certain, school specific branded items.
In order to help parents find the most affordable places to buy uniforms this week, Belfast Live has looked at four major supermarkets in Northern Ireland to see how their prices compare on certain items. While three of the four had very similar prices, there were certain items that were cheaper in each one.
