While kids may still be enjoying summer fun, it's always good to be prepared in advanced - and if you're keen to save some cash, it's worth taking a trip to the local Sainsbury's.
According to bargain-mad Brits, the mega supermarket is now flogging cut-price school shoes - and there are huge savings to be made.
Informing fellow parents about the deal, one shopper, Kelly Gillingham, took to Facebook to share the news.
Posting on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the thrifty customer said: ''Sainsburys 70% off school shoes.''
In the post, Kelly also showed off her epic haul, which included black trainers with a star design, originally going for £16 and now slashed by 70%.
The mega haul also included a pair of black trainers, retailing for £14 before the reductions, as well as more smart shoes, £20 before the sale.
Whilst shopping at the local store, Kelly also snapped up a pair of black shoes with a strap and teeny diamantes - £18 before the epic sale.
Sharing the news to the other 2.6million members of the page, the bargain hunter said: ''Not sure if it's in all of them this was Waterlooville.''
If you're keen to get a pair before September, you'll have to head to buy them in store - as the deal doesn't appear to be available online.
The post, uploaded less than 24 hours ago, has already taken the internet by storm, winning Kelly more than 220 likes.

Over 210 people flooded to comments where they tagged their friends and family to inform them about the fabulous deal.
One told their pal: ''Fancy a trip tomorrow?''
A second chimed in: ''I need to go.''

But whilst many were flooding to buy a pair for their little ones, not everyone was raving about the over - as one disappointed customer claimed their purchase fell apart.
The disgruntled Sainsbury's shopper said: ''They don't last 5 mins.
''Last year thought I wouldn't buy Clark's too expensive .. so purchased cheap supermarket one
''4 new pairs this year so Clark's is a better option… she is now at high school and only wants kickers.''

The high street favourite has also unveiled a three-part Breakfast Deal for the first time, giving early risers more bang for their buck. The new Chipotle Chicken Baguette brings the heat with spicy chicken breast, Cheddar cheese with chilli, sliced red onion, jalapeños, and lashings of chipotle chilli sauce and spicy mayo. It's part of the Cold Sandwich & Drink Deal from £3.95, or available hot with wedges and a drink from £5.00. Those after something lighter can opt for the Chipotle Chicken Flatbread, filled with spicy chicken, mixed peppers, fresh salad, chipotle sauce and spicy mayo – a flavour-packed option for lunch on the go. Joining the range is the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Oval Bite, combining spicy chicken breast with pineapple chilli sauce, Cheddar chilli cheese, crispy onions, and mixed leaves in a seeded roll. Like the others, it's available as part of the Cold Sandwich Deal. For breakfast lovers, Greggs has added a twist to its morning offering. The new Breakfast Deal lets customers pair their breakfast roll or baguette with a hot drink and a choice of side – hash browns, a fruit pot or creamy yoghurt – starting from £3.95 for the roll combo and £5.10 for a baguette. All items are available for Click+Collect through the Greggs App, which also gives users rewards such as a free drink after nine purchases and a birthday treat. Haven & Butlins Refund Warning, Lidl's £55 Dyson Fan Dupe, and Greggs Snack Axed – Money News Today Last week Greggs issued a first‑half trading statement revealing a slowdown in June footfall due to an early summer heatwave. Despite a like‑for‑like sales rise of 2.6 per cent and total sales of £1.03 billion for the 26 weeks to 28 June, soaring UK temperatures resulted in fewer store visits and a 13–15 per cent fall in the company's share price across major markets. On the branding front, Greggs was recently crowned the UK's strongest brand of 2025, with its value rising to over £958 million and a top-tier Brand Strength Index rating. The chain also opened its first 'Eco Drive-Thru' earlier this year, with sustainable design features aimed at reducing energy and water usage.

New study reveals the cities where Brits have most disposable income in 2025
Link is copied Comments If you're coupled up in the UK, some cities will be kinder to you financially. That's according to new research from specialist mortgage lender Pepper Money, anyway. The company recently conducted a study to find where British couples have the least and most disposable income, and you'll be surprised by the results. While a northern gem came out on top, other cities - that are renowned for being pricey - also fared particularly well (Picture: Getty Images) Pepper Money explained that, while wages across the UK are rising, many Brits are finding they have less money left at the end of the month in certain areas. This means the average Brit's disposable income is shrinking, despite a national living wage increase and higher median salaries. The research - based on couples who own a home together - looked at essential outgoings such as mortgages, utility bills, and car finance, plus average wages. With all of these paid off, they then did the math to find out how much each couple was left with at the end of the month. Curious about how your home city fares in terms of disposable income? Here are the top 10 cities: (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,304.13 Total bills: £1,418 Average disposable income available: £886.51 At number 10 is Manchester, which has an affordable cost of living, especially when compared to other large cities like London. Student accommodation site uhomes ranked Manchester the 13th cheapest place to live in the UK. In 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that the average house price in the northern city is £257,000. So, for couples with more money to burn at the end of the month, Manchester is a great place to spend it (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,334.59 Total bills: £1,400 Average disposable income available: £934.48 Next up is Leeds, a major city in West Yorkshire. While it's not the cheapest place to live, it is considered generally more affordable than other major cities. In May 2025, the ONS revealed that the average house price here is £241,000. From exploring the historic Kirkgate Market to grabbing cocktails at one of the many indie bars, there's a lot to spend your extra cash on in Leeds (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,352.12 Total bills: £1,381 Average disposable income available: £971.33 The third northern (and second Yorkshire) city to make the list is Sheffield. The cost of living is significantly lower than Manchester's - according to the Sheffield College, it's 10% lower than the national average, and 25% lower than London. House prices here average at £221,000 as of January 2025 (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,226.75 Total bills: £1,248 Average disposable income available: £978.80 Liverpool has so much going for it. From the iconic Docks to delving into the music scene at the Cavern Club, there's never a dull moment in the city. And, there's always an activity to spend your cash on. Expatistan estimates the cost of living in Liverpool is 47% cheaper than London, while house prices average around £180,000. This is way cheaper than the previous fellow northern cities on this list (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,257.82 Total bills: £1,241 Average disposable income available: £1,016.72 Further down south to the Midlands now, and Nottingham has come in at a respectable sixth place. According to whatuni, the cost of living in Nottingham is quite close to the national average, but is around 18% cheaper than London. But, Rightmove prices houses a little higher, at £265,448 on average. With couples having over a grand to spend per month, it's worth checking out Nottingham Castle, the City of Caves, and the Old Market Square (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,120.69 Total bills: £1,100 Average disposable income available: £1,020.95 In 2024, the cost of living in Belfast was around 37% lower than in London. As of the first quarter of 2024, the average house price in Northern Ireland's capital was approximately £216,098. There's so much to do in Belfast that suits every kind of person, from taking part in a seisiún (traditional Irish music session) in a local pub to diving into the city's history at Belfast City Hall. Or, experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of St. George's Market (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,439.84 Total bills: £1,300 Average disposable income available: £1,140.18 Glasgow is considered to be more affordable than Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, and the UK's capital in general. Living in Glasgow is, on average, 20% cheaper than in London and 10% cheaper than the rest of the UK. House prices are also way more affordable, coming in at £188,000 as per the ONS. And, with almost £1,200 to spare after monthly outgoings, couples can enjoy the best of the Scottish city. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Riverside Museum, and strolling through the Glasgow Botanic Gardens are highlights. Glasgow also has a thriving nightlife ready and waiting for you to splash the cash, too (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,760.42 Total bills: £1,581 Average disposable income available: £1,179.25 Considering Edinburgh is renowned for being an incredibly expensive city, it's quite shocking to see it offering one of the highest disposable incomes in the UK. In 2023, it was actually named the third most expensive city to live in in the UK. Still, for home-owning couples (the average price sits at around £295,000), Edinburgh is a vibrant city that can provide a high standard of living. From the annual Fringe festival, exploring Edinburgh Castle to taking part in a Scotch Whisky Experience, there's never a dull moment in the Scottish capital (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,671.22 Total bills: £1,340 Average disposable income available: £1,331.11 At number two is Coventry, where couples have over £1,300 to fritter away each month. In contrast to Edinburgh, the cost of living is a lot lower here. So are house prices, averaging around £224,000. Though Coventry isn't considered a 'day tripping' kind of town, it has a lot to offer residents. This includes Coventry Cathedral and FarGo Village, the city's creative quarter (Picture: Getty Images) Average monthly salary: £2,775.69 Total bills: £1,304 Average disposable income available: £1,471.27 Last but not least, it's Newcastle. With almost £1,500 of disposable income for couples, the city can be enjoyed without having to stress too much about money. Not only this, but Newcastle is known for being quite an affordable place to live: it's 23.0% less expensive than London, and has an average house price of £237,760. So, what can you spend your hard-earned cash on? Why not catch a show at the Theatre Royal, immerse yourself in live music at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music, or take a guided tour of Victoria Tunnel, a preserved 19th-century coal waggonway and wartime air-raid shelter. Even walking through the cobbled streets of Newcastle, and hopping into one of the many restaurants and bars, is a lovely way to while away your spare time (Picture: Getty Images)

What invalidates home insurance? This habit puts you at risk
Making sure your home is protected is key to looking after your property and family comforts. However, experts have claimed that one habit could be putting your home insurance at risk. It's also a mistake that is more likely to happen during the summer months and shockingly one in 10 Brits say they do it. 🚨Looking for a place to rent? ⚠️ Fraudsters create fake listings on legitimate rental platforms to lure victims into rental scams ✅ You, or someone you trust, should always view the property before you make payment Find out more: Leaving a key under the doormat or plant pot while away on holiday is one of the most common ways homeowners invalidate their home insurance. Heath Alexander-Bew, director at insurance provider Alan Boswell Group, explained: 'In many cases, in the event of a burglary or stolen possessions, there will need to be signs of 'forced entry' to make a valid, successful claim. 'By leaving a key to the property under a doormat or plant pot, homeowners make it easy for burglars to enter, potentially resulting in a declined insurance claim.' Instead, it is recommended to leave a key with a trusted friend or family member. Mr Alexander-Bew continued: 'Alternatively, invest in security measures such as a wall-mounted key safe which can only be accessed by someone who has the code. 'Always ensure your home is completely locked and secured before going on holiday, and do not leave any spare keys around.' Further advice suggests to never reveal on social media that your home will be empty. Home insurance protects your home in case something unexpected happens. HSBC advises: 'Without cover, you risk having to pay for replacements or repairs if something happens to your home or belongings. This could be if they're damaged in a fire or a flood or if your things are stolen. Recommended Reading: Homeowners could be fined £20k for cutting garden trees Can you paint over algae on a fence? How to remove it Dog owners warned of fatal plants that could endanger pets 'With household insurance in place, if anything happens to your property or possessions that are covered by your policy, you'll be protected financially. 'If you're renting, you don't need to worry about buildings insurance, as this is your landlord's responsibility. 'But you should consider contents insurance to help cover the costs of replacing possessions if something happens to them.'
