Parents seek out school uniform deals, cutting average spend to £54.53

Parents in the UK are cutting their average spend on school uniforms by £7.76 to £54.53, as they seek out deals and discounts. This is a result of families trying to save money during the cost of living crisis. The reduced spend on school uniforms is a sign that households are being cautious with their finances, which could have implications for consumer spending and overall economic growth.
