Sending kids back to school can be very expensive.  This week Serina Bird, author and host of the podcast, The Joyful Frugalista, chats with Money managing editor Julia Newbould about how parents can save money when preparing to send their kids back to school. This includes preparing in the year prior, not always buying the recommended school stationery packs and keeping abreast of January sales.

Plus, Serina shares her tips for getting everything you need despite supply chain issues.

The podcast also covers:

• Buying cheap shoes – is this always the way to go
• Don't forget about budgeting for additional expenses
• Tips for reusing items from the previous year
