The cost of living crisis has been hitting households hard as prices continue to rise and inflation hits a 40-year high.
Summer is already a more expensive time for families, but as the return to school approaches it's been revealed that two-thirds of UK parents are worried about rising back to school costs.
According to sharing app OLIO, buying new items post-summer is set to cost an average of almost £300 per child, with parents estimating that they buy an average of 16 new items at the start of the school year.
