Aldi freezes school uniform bundle prices amid cost of living crisis

In response to the ongoing cost of living crisis, Aldi has announced the return of its popular £5 school uniform bundle and is freezing its prices to the same rate as 2022.

Adding to the good news, the supermarket giant is introducing a price match guarantee on their school uniforms, ensuring shoppers always get the lowest possible price.

The uniform bundle, priced at just £5, includes two polo shirts, one sweatshirt, and a choice of trousers or a pleated skirt.

The bundle and other uniform essentials will be available in Aldi stores from 6th July.

However, as with all its Specialbuys, stock is limited and parents are advised to shop early to avoid the September rush.

Designed to withstand the rigours of the school day, Aldi’s school uniform is available in a variety of colours and sizes ranging from 4-12 years.

The retailer is also offering a six-month satisfaction guarantee, instilling confidence in parents as the new school year begins.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, commented on the announcement: “The back to school period can be an expensive time for families, and now more than ever shoppers are searching for great value with every purchase. At Aldi, we believe that every child deserves to have access to great quality, comfortable school uniforms, without their parents needing to spend a fortune.”

Ashfield added, “We remain committed to our customers and strive to support them throughout the cost of living crisis and beyond – that’s why we’ve made the decision to freeze our school uniform prices and continue to offer parents the same great savings as last year.”

The price match guarantee will run from 6th July until 31st August 2023. It promises to match the lowest total price for the bundled uniform offer, excluding multi-buys and promotional prices, from competitors such as Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, or Marks & Spencer.
