It's not long now until the kids go back to school, as Aldi has reminded us this week with their Special Buys section. New for this week is a range of back to school buys both in-store and online – we're talking everything from school uniform to stationery sets, home learning books and school bags – and prices are seriously cheap. 

Honestly? Whether you are on a budget or not, these Aldi back to school buys are well worth a look. The best part? They're selling an eco-friendly range this year so that you can be eco-conscious while sending your little ones back to learning. 

We've handpicked our favourite back to school buys from the Aldi website, and popped them below for you to have a look at. Prices start from a low £1.99 and if you don't live near an Aldi, we've listed some alternatives from other retailers, too. Happy shopping!

There's everything from a pencil case to Mrs Hinch-inspired jewel pens and pencils, a full stationery set – complete with rubbers, paperclips, the lot – and a ring binder on sale. This stuff will fly off the shelves...

4. Bag them a new backpack to start school in style

They will, of course, need a new school bag for the new school year – duh! Backpacks are super practical and these ones from Aldi are stylish, too. There are four on offer – two pink, two blue – with one of each being plain and the other a patterned design. Each backpack has padded straps, a handle, a smaller compartment at the front, waterproof coating, an internal name label and a headphone outlet. And at just £6.99 each, they're a bargain.
