Before you start the challenge, sit down together and lay out some ground rules. Here\u2019s an example of what you could discuss. <\/p><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -2px;\">      <use href=\"#shirt-folded\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>What you will provide.<\/strong> These are the essentials like school uniform, basic stationery, and standard shoes.    <\/div><\/div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -5px;\">      <use href=\"#hand-coins\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>What they will pay for.<\/strong> These are any \u201cupgrades\u201d they want. So, if they\u2019re after branded shoes or a pastel-coloured highlighter set, they will need to pay the difference in price.    <\/div><\/div><p>There may be some grumbles, but this type of setup will empower your kids. Involving them in the process is part of the challenge, so take a look at how much an unbranded school bag will cost and compare it to the North Face bag they\u2019ve got their eye on. The difference in price is their target to earn or save.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"ukfin_sponsored_article_body has-padding-top-xsmall has-padding-bottom-small\"><article style=\"background-color: #7569FF; color: #FFFFFF\" class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\"><p style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: center\"><strong>How GoHenry can help<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/sticker_coins_260.png\" alt=\"hand with coin\" style=\"width: 50px; height: 50px; margin: -10px 2px 10px 8px; vertical-align: middle;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/sticker_coins_260.png?fit=150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p><div style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #FFFFFF; width: 200px; margin: 20px auto 30px;\"><\/div><p style=\"text-align: center\">Simply add this as a savings goal in their GoHenry app. Kids can name their goal, set their target amount, and pick a deadline.

Now that your kids have hit their target, it\u2019s time to help them sniff out a bargain. Here are a few tips they can use to hopefully keep costs down:<\/p><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -2px;\">      <use href=\"#seal-percent\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>Exploit the \u201cJunior\/Youth\u201d size loophole.<\/strong> If your child has smaller feet (typically up to a UK size 5), get them to look in the Junior or Kids section rather than the adult sizes. You can often find identical styles for a fraction of the cost.    <\/div><\/div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -5px;\">      <use href=\"#seal-percent\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>Search for misspelt brands.<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking on sites like Vinted, eBay or Depop, get your kids to search by misspelt brands. Sellers frequently list items with typos in the title, so they can find something with fewer views and that will attract lower bids.    <\/div><\/div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -2px;\">      <use href=\"#seal-percent\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>Filter by \u201cnew without box\u201d or \u201cnew with tags\u201d.<\/strong> Many people buy shoes that end up not fitting, and they miss the return window. If your child uses these filters, they could find some brand-new, branded footwear that\u2019s up to 50-70% off the retail price.    <\/div><\/div><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 15px;\">    <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium\" style=\"--fill: var(--color-brand-normal); flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: -5px;\">      <use href=\"#seal-percent\"><\/use>    <\/svg><div>      <strong>Check brand outlet stores.<\/strong> Official eBay Outlets \u2013 like Adidas Official Outlet or Office Shoe Outlet \u2013 sell ex-display models, open-box returns, or factory seconds with minor cosmetic flaws for a fraction of store prices.    <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ukfin_sponsored_article_body has-padding-top-x-small has-padding-bottom-small\"><article style=\"background-color: #7569FF; color: #FFFFFF\" class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\"><p style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: center\"><strong>How GoHenry can help<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/sticker_cards_260.png\" alt=\"hand with coin\" style=\"width: 50px; height: 50px; margin: -10px 2px 10px 8px; vertical-align: middle;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/sticker_cards_260.png?fit=150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p><div style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #FFFFFF; width: 200px; margin: 20px auto 30px;\"><\/div><p style=\"text-align: center\">GoHenry\u2019s debit card can be used for online purchases, and you can set spending limits so your kid doesn\u2019t go overboard.
