Back to School in the Balearic Islands: Families Suddenly Face a €850 Bill

Answer

Where can families in Palma find cheaper school items?

In Palma, many parents look for used books, uniform swaps and second-hand sales rather than buying everything new. Swap markets and parent-organised group orders are common ways to reduce the bill, especially in neighbourhoods where families share information through schools or WhatsApp groups. Used-book stalls and local markets can also be useful for finding lower-cost items.
