Mums and dads took to Facebook to share the amazing deals they'd come across on the GAME website, with everything from Barbie dolls to Xbox games at rock bottom prices.
The delighted shoppers posted about their buys on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on the social media site, as they encouraged others to take advantage of the cheap deals.
"Massive warehouse clearance on GAME website," Miranda wrote, sharing screenshots of some of the most impressive discounts.
Among them was the interior designer Barbie doll, which had been reduced from £11 to just £3, as well as branded Disney dolls - such as The Little Mermaid - for £4.
And while the Polly Pocket Big World Sparkle Adventure Unicorn edition was initially priced at £17.99, it's now just £6.
Or, if your child is more of a gamer, they have games for the Xbox - including NBA 2K23 reduced from £29.99 to £3.
Other Xbox games, such as Warner Brothers' Gotham Knights, had their prices slashed to just £6.
There are also board games on offer, such as the regional Monopoly - Phuket edition - reduced from £40 to £12.
And on the electronics front, one of the biggest bargains has to be the Polaroid Music P210 speaker, slashed by 75% from £119.99 to just £24.
The massive sale comes amid reports that GAME may be downsizing.

The retailer was purchased by Sports Direct in 2019, with the main stores closing down and concessions opening up instead
Once it was fully integrated into the Frasers Group, who own Sports Direct, GAME called time on several of their in-store features, including their loyalty card program and pre-orders.
The website has remained running, but GAME sparked concern about their future when they hosted an auction to sell their warehouse equipment.

Disney laying off several hundred employees worldwide
A Disney spokesperson confirmed the action on Tuesday. The exact number of jobs being cut is unknown, but lay-offs will occur across several divisions, including television and film marketing, TV publicity, casting and development, and corporate financial operations. No entire teams will be eliminated. 'As our industry transforms at a rapid pace, we continue to evaluate ways to efficiently manage our businesses while fuelling the state-of-the-art creativity and innovation that consumers value and expect from Disney,' the spokesperson said. 'As part of this ongoing work, we have identified opportunities to operate more efficiently and are eliminating a limited number of positions.' Last month, Disney posted solid profits and revenue in the second quarter as its domestic theme parks thrived and the company added well over a million subscribers to its streaming service. The company also boosted its profit expectations for the year. Disney's also been riding a wave of box office hits, including Thunderbolts* and Lilo & Stitch, which is now the second-highest grossing movie of the year. In 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Disney would cut about 7,000 jobs as part of an ambitious company-wide cost-savings plan and 'strategic reorganisation'. Disney said at the time that the job reductions were part of a targeted 5.5 billion dollars cost savings across the company. Shares of Disney, which is based in Burbank, California, rose slightly in midday trading.
