EAGER parents are gearing up for Christmas and taking advantage of toy sales that are happening across a number of big-name stores.
Thrifty mums have spotted some impressive bargains in store at Home Bargains and Tesco while others are raving about massive discounts from Argos.
Argos has the biggest range of toys on offer with parents alerting other bargain-hunters of their finds in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
If LEGO is a hot ticket item in your household, you can snap up a Friends alpaca jungle playset for half price – costing just £27.50 down from £55.
Thrilled to have spotted it, one mum wrote: “For anyone looking for LEGO bargains I have just bought this LEGO friend set in Argos half price and the box is massive.”
Also on offer is a range of Nerf toys which are also on offer for half price.
Some parents are raving about a giant life-sized ride-on llama which is available for half price at £100, with many saying it’ll make the ideal Christmas gift for their daughters.
But some thrifty mums say they’ve spotted the exact same item in Home Bargain for even cheaper, and say they can pick it up for as little as £80.
It seems the popular bargains store has more on offer too, after one mum spotted a couple of Christmas-themed Barbie dolls for a tiny £5.99.
Sharing snaps of the pretty dolls, she wrote: “Christmas themed barbies in home bargains today for £5.99. My daughter will be thrilled! I picked one up for a Christmas gift too.”
The offer seemed too good to pass up for many parents who expressed their eagerness to grab one – or a few – with many tagging friends and family asking them to keep an eye out.
