Are you struggling with the cost of sending your kids back to school?
Hi neighbours,
A new survey conducted by research company PureProfile reveals that 88 per cent of Kiwi families experience financial stress caused by kitting their kids out in appropriate clothing for school.
As a result, the survey found families are sacrificing basic necessities such as food, electricity, clothing and personal hygiene (22%) alongside entertainment (60%), gifts (22%) and personal luxuries like homewares and fashion clothing (70%)
.
Do you think the cost of school uniforms is too high?
