Although the heatwave has been on and off since last week, over the Bank Holiday we saw record temperatures reaching into the 30s.
Many of us were clutching our hand fans and wishing our bed sheets were made of ice. Not kids, though; they’re in their element during a heatwave.
If you have children you’ll know that all you need to do is plonk them in the garden with a bucket and a water gun and they’re set for the day.
Better yet, however, is a paddling pool, and even better still a unicorn paddling pool with a built-in sprinkler.
Asda’s offering was already an attractive prospect to spruce up your back garden and splash around, but even more so now they’ve knocked 90% off the price.
The Intex Mystic Unicorn Inflatable Spray Pool costs up to £29.99 in other stores, and was previously £18 at Asda.
Eagle-eyed bargain hunters managed to find it for a tiny £1.80, though, and understandably started to snap them up.
The pool is around 2.7 metres by 1.7 metres, and you can attach your garden hose to the sprayer for extra laughs.
It’s all sold out now on the Asda website, but commenters on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group on Facebook say they’ve still been able to find them in store.
They will go fast – particularly now word is out – so get down to your local supermarket quick, or call first to check if they’re in stock.
If you do miss out, you can grab Tesco’s slightly larger unicorn paddling pool for £7.50, compared to the usual £30.
