AS tempting as it can be, any parent will know that it's just not worth forking out on pricey shoes for your little ones.
Not only do they outgrow them in a matter of weeks, but a quick visit to the park and they'll be scuffed before you know it.
But one savvy mum named Ellie Swainger has told how she found her daughter a bargain pair of trainers from B&M – and says they're perfect for the school holidays.
Taking to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a snap of the glittery pink plimsolls which feature baby pink laces.
Alongside the image, she penned: "Needed some cheap shoes for my daughter for the school holidays for park days out etc.
"Was happy with these…£3 from B&M."
