Mum to Ellie and Grace, and a regular Lidl Shopper, Kathryn speaks about her experience preparing for Back to School. Kathryn says: “As a child, I loved the nervous excitement that came with back-to-school time, reconnecting with friends, new classrooms, new lunchboxes, the smell of the new pencil cases.
“It’s hard to believe I’m getting Ellie ready for her first day at school. As a parent, it’s an emotional time but can also be pretty expensive too. That’s why Lidl’s affordable back-to-school range is the best one-stop shop.
“Uniforms, copy books, pencil cases, lunchboxes; everything we need to keep me and her happy for a fraction of the cost you’d pay elsewhere. “
