We always leave our ‘Back to School’ shopping until the last minute. That way we have had a chance to see what’s about and hopefully grab a few bargains in the reduced aisle. This year we headed to our local Asda store as they were the most reasonably priced for back to school items. My eldest daughter begins her final school year next week and for her GCSE’s, we needed more equipment than usual.
It seems that every year, the list of the items we require grows and grows! Every year my eldest needs a new pencil case, pens, pencils, erasers and notebooks and folders. All this can get rather expensive. And now I have two children in school, the cost will double!
Here are a few bargains we picked up!
Bic ‘Cristal Fun’ Coloured Pens – £1.50
Puka Pad – £2.00 (not available online)
Oxford Notebook – £3.00
Oxford Diary – £3.00 (not available online)
Files – 5 pack – £1.00
Pencil Case (Large) Various Colours – £1.00
Index Cards (Great for Revision) -£1.60 each (not available online)
Pack of 10 Mini Highlighters – £1.10
These items will stand her in good stead for the busy year ahead!
