Did you know that some brands actually partner with charity shops? This means you can get bargain-priced clothes and support charities at the same time. A recent example of this that I have found is at my local Scope charity shop who selling brand new with tags school uniform.
When it comes to buying school uniforms, charity shops might not be the first place you think of, although they can be a great place to start if you have a child that is prone to losing their jumpers or P.E Kit so you’re not spending a fortune on continually replacing them.
Brand New M&S School Uniform at Scope
However, what I wanted to take a look at and share with you today is that my local scope are selling brand new, still with tags on, M&S school uniform. They seem to have quite a good range of sizes and different school colours.
While I know this might not apply to every single brand of Scope, I know M&S do partner with a lot of different charity shops, including Oxfam and PDSA so if you have any of these local to you, it’s deifnitely worth a look.
Why Is This So Brilliant?
Well, there are lots of reasons I think that it’s great that Scope are selling M&S School clothing.
Firstly, buying second hand anything is great for the environment. The reason M&S have donated these items could be one of several reasons including over stocking, last years stock or changes to packaging. Lots of brand new clothing ends up in landfill when it doesn’t find a home, so the fact it’s being donated is great.
M&S clothing, school uniform included is typically more expensive than buying from supermarkets like Aldi and Asda, who both provide ranges which are brilliant for those on a budget.
Now, I can’t explicity comment here as my little one is still at Nursery, but I think most people would agree that M&S clothing is going to be better quality. In theory, this means it should last longer and won’t need replacing as often, provided your child doesn’t have a growth spurt.
Scope is selling the majority of this school uniform at half it’s origingal retail price, meaning if you could only afford Asda before, you could now buy M&S instead and benefit from it being better quality.
Finally, buying from Scope or other charity shops helps to support charities do vital work in local communities, most likely including the one you live in.
Before Buying Second Hand School Uniform
There are just a couple of thing to think about before buying second hand school uniform.
- Returns – Some charity shops do allow returns but if you’re not sure if something will fit you might want to ask what the policy before puchasing. Of course there is always the option of selling items on if they are too small or keeping for later if to big.
- Range/Availability – While my local Scope did have a lot of items, as I wasn’t buying I didn’t look at how many they had in each size or how big they went overall.
My best advice is to have a look. If you can buy everything you need then great. If not, you could consider mixing and matching items from other shops or simply keeping charity shops in mind for your school uniform needs next year.
