Are you school uniform shopping? Here are some great tips to save some of your pennies and pounds!
MoneySavingExpert@MoneySavingExp29 Jul 2025
School uniform savings tip! Check outlet stores for up to 50% off; Clarks and M&S prices tend to be more appealing than their high street counterparts! Yet if you don't have one nearby (check via link), transport costs may mean it's not-so-MoneySaving, so weigh it up first. ⬇️

We asked clients about their experience with Luton Foodbank. When his Tax Credits dropped, we put Liam in touch with @Luton_CAB, and helped feed him and his family. If a crisis leaves you unable to afford food, we may be able to help. [email protected] or 01582 725838
"I work full time, but rely on Tax Credits to make ends meet. When my Tax Credits were adjusted unexpectedly, I had no savings to fall back on. Luton Foodbank helped me keep my kids fed until the payments were sorted out. While there, I was connected to Citizens Advice, who were able to help me resolve the Tax Credit issue faster." (Liam, 42)

Festival season is here 🎵 🎸 If you're going to #Glastonbury be a recycling hero and remember to recycle your empty deodorant cans along with your other toiletry empties. Recycling just one extra item can make a big difference! @glastonbury #glastonbury2025
