School may not be out for summer yet, but Lidl is helping families get a head start on the new school year with the return of its budget-friendly uniform bundle for just £5*.

With costs of essentials on the rise and families continuing to fight the UK’s cost of living crisis, the retailer has frozen the price of its uniforms to keep its bundles at a competitive £5 price point. So, for the second year in a row, customers can kit out their Lidl ones for the school year without having to break the bank.

Shoppers can choose from a mix of products to make up their bundle, including Sweatshirts, Polo Shirts, Skirts, Trousers and Shorts. These quality assured products are made from 100% cotton, that’s gentle on delicate skin, lasting colour to stand the test of time, and holds a Global RECYCLED Standard certificate, so customers can do their bit for the environment while kitting out their kids.

Plus, with every purchase made on selected** uniform items, Lidl will donate 50p to help continue funding NSPCC’s Childline.

And shoppers after another bargain can also enjoy a 20% discount on Back to School stationery, that can be redeemed using the Lidl Plus app from 6th – 12th July.

Lidl’s bargain Back to School bundle is available to shop in stores nationwide, from 6th July whilst stocks last.
