The shopper also snapped up some Ninja Turtles plush toys, and showed how they had picked up three different characters.
These were just £2 in the sale, and could be ideal for stocking fillers.
She wrote: 'Gutted they didn't have all four but they had duplicates left.'
They also got some Hot Wheels Colour Revealing toys that looked like they would be a big hit for car enthusiasts.
These were down to just £3.50 in the supermarket sale - and she had found them in the Cheshire Oaks shop.

Edinburgh Fringe star blames Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for 'serious problem'
Alison Jackson, a photographer known for her snaps of celebrity lookalikes, including Donald Trump and the Royal Family, has claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have caused an issue for her upcoming Edinburgh Fringe show An Edinburgh Fringe star has claimed that she's hit a "serious problem" in her preparations for the stage, and it's all due to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Alison Jackson, an acclaimed photographer renowned for her images of celebrity doppelgängers, including Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Royal Family, is set to put on a show at the iconic arts festival this month. However, an unexpected snag has cropped up due to the controversies surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose lookalikes were slated to appear in her forthcoming show. Richard Eden of the Mail characterised this as a "serious problem," with Alison explaining her struggle to find actors to portray Harry and Meghan, especially with the show's premiere looming. Yet, it seems there could be two specific reasons why it's proven to be a difficult task, both of which apply to the public's perception of the Duke and Duchess. Alison shared with the Mail: "I have a couple of 'Prince Williams' who've come forward and they look quite good, but no 'Meghan' or 'Harry' has turned up." She noted that lookalikes often "relate" to their characters and suggested that no one wants to impersonate Harry and Meghan due to their perceived toxicity. Alison added: "I think that people don't like Meghan, they don't trust her and they think she's an operator who sucks everything she can out of Harry." She also speculated that Harry's recent BBC interview, where he stated that his father, King Charles, "won't speak" to him due to "this security stuff" following his lost legal battle over UK security in May, might be the cause. Harry has "gone too far", she claims, adding that his so-called digs at his father King Charles, who is battling cancer, are "beyond the pale". She also said Meghan's lookalikes "disappear" as she becomes "more assertive". The Duke and Duchess caused a global stir when they stepped back from Royal duties in January 2020 and relocated to Montecito, California, with their children, Archie and Lilibet. In news that may disappoint Royal enthusiasts, it has been claimed in reports that Harry and Meghan will not be spending Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham this year. According to Express US, this will be the sixth consecutive year they have missed the gathering. Commenting on the supposed absence, Vanity Fair's Eve Batey cautioned that people should "prepare for disappointment". Batey remarked: "For those who hoped that the British Royal Family's difficult year might end with a happy reunion should prepare for disappointment." She then explained that the news came from an anonymous source, paraphrasing that they'd claimed the Duke and Duchess had been "intentionally left off" the Sandringham guest list.

ITV has offered fans a glimpse of its latest heist drama, and viewers will be thrilled to learn that Suranne Jones (known for Maryland and Vigil) and Jodie Whittaker famed for her recent Toxic Town role along with starring in both Time and Doctor Who, have been cast in the lead roles. Described as a Thelma-and-Louise style heist set in Southern Spain, the "complex duo" Sam and Bert reconnect after over a decade of estrangement. Their intricate pasts and years of betrayal resurface as they decide to settle one last score between them. Suranne Jones is not only starring in the heist series but has also teamed up with Anne-Marie O'Connor (Maryland, Hellraisers, Trollied) and Giulia Gandini (The Split, Shetland) to co-create and direct this exciting production.

ITV drama set to be your next binge-watch (Image: ITV) "Under the guise of one last, multi-million-pound art robbery, Bert tries to coax Sam back into the game, but what price will they pay? Can Sam remain ahead of her former ally, who is evidently prepared for betrayal? Or will the tension of their destructive bond destroy them both before they can execute the heist?"

I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do." Article continues below Senior Drama Commissioning Editor Helen Ziegler also commended the team, stating: "We are delighted to be working with Suranne, Anne Marie and the brilliant team at Monumental on their unique take on a heist show.

Suranne and Jodie are two incredible actors and it'll be thrilling to see what they bring to the central characters." Frauds will air on ITV1 and ITVX later this year.
