Informing fellow parents about the deal, one shopper, Kelly Gillingham, took to Facebook to share the news.
Posting on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the thrifty customer said: ''Sainsburys 70% off school shoes.''
In the post, Kelly also showed off her epic haul, which included black trainers with a star design, originally going for £16 and now slashed by 70%.
The mega haul also included a pair of black trainers, retailing for £14 before the reductions, as well as more smart shoes, £20 before the sale.
Whilst shopping at the local store, Kelly also snapped up a pair of black shoes with a strap and teeny diamantes - £18 before the epic sale.
Sharing the news to the other 2.6million members of the page, the bargain hunter said: ''Not sure if it's in all of them this was Waterlooville.''

Manchester United's bold new stadium plans already delayed by dispute with freight train company
Manchester United 's bold plans to build a new 100,000-seater stadium beside replace Old Trafford have already hit a major hindrance. Sir Jim Ratcliffe unveiled drawings earlier this year for a new venue to replace the tired existing ground, which has been poorly maintained under the Glazer family's ownership. The plans included major new housing, leisure and retail space around the ground to transform the area into an attractive destination that offers visitors more than just football. United has proposed building the £2bn stadium themselves. The futuristic design – by celebrated architest Sir Norman Foster 's firm Foster + Partners – is inspired by the Red Devils Trident, and is dominated by three huge spindles or masts in a trident formation, giving the project the impression of something of a circus tent. But the club are looking for both local government and Trafford Council to support the wider scheme. However, progress has already halted as the club negotiates with local landowner Freightliner, which owns a train terminal close to Old Trafford. United value the land at £40-50m but Freightliner has demanded £400m and talks are at an impasse, according to the Guardian. United remain confident the ambitious timescale of completing the project within five to six years can be met, with sights set on hosting the Women's World Cup final in 2035 when the tournament is hosted on the British Isles. A taskforce convened by Ratcliffe, chaired by Lord Sebastian Coe, estimated the regeneration project could bring an extra £7.3bn to the British economy and create 92,000 jobs. Chief executive Omar Berrada said at the time: 'Our long-term objective as a club is to have the world's best football team playing in the world's best stadium', with Old Trafford - which has been United's home since 1909 - deemed to have 'fallen behind', in Ratcliffe's words. "I think we may well finish up with the most iconic football stadium in the world," the billionaire added. Two of the three masts will reach 150m in height, with the tallest - at the apex of the trident - 200m, significantly taller than the tallest building in Manchester, the 169m Beetham Tower, and towering over Wembley's 135m mast. The plan for the masts is for them to be visible for up to 37.4km - so residents of parts of Cheshire, the Peak District, and even the outskirts of Liverpool will be able to see at least some of the stadium. Alongside the stadium will be a huge plaza, "twice the size of Trafalgar Square" according to the architects, with the material connecting the masts extending to cover this outside space. Foster has said the stadium will take five years to build, and will be a 'prefabrication' built elsewhere and transported down the Manchester Ship Canal in 160 component pieces. Ratcliffe has not stated when building work to begin, but said: 'It depends how quickly the government get going with their regeneration. I think they want to get going quite quickly. I assume that will go well. The thing that allows us to do that is the Manchester Ship Canal, that halves the time.' The government has already given its backing to the project.

Reeves acknowledges voter disappointment amid fresh call for wealth tax
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says that Labour must deliver change to earn victory in the next election, acknowledging that some voters are disappointed with the party's progress. She said she is also 'impatient for change' but stressed that ministers cannot implement everything at once, highlighting her responsibility for financial prudence. These remarks coincide with growing public concern over Sir Keir Starmer 's government, whose approval rating recently reached an all-time low. Ms Reeves defended the government's tax policy, saying it has found the right balance despite the challenge of addressing public finance deficits. The discussion follows former Labour shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds' call for a wealth tax, as recent polling indicates a significant perception of chaos within Sir Keir's administration.

Revealed: The areas facing £500 council tax rises
Householders face eye-watering council tax rises of more than £500 thanks to Rachel Reeves's spending review, analysis has found. Treasury documents released in June said local authorities would be able to put up their bills by the maximum 5 per cent for the next three years. Now a breakdown of council tax rates has disclosed for the first time which areas are likely to fare worst. The analysis by the TaxPayers' Alliance reveals that Gateshead faces the largest rise, with typical bills expected to be £567 higher there in 2028/29. With maximum increases imposed, the bill for a Band D home would rise from £2,578 to £3,145. Those in the most expensive Band H homes would see their bills rise £1,134 to £6,290, according to the TaxPayers' Alliance. Large increases would also affect Nottingham (up £563 for Band D and £1,126 for Band H) Rutland (£550 and £1,100) and Bristol (£549 and £1,108). Taxpayers in Dorset, Hastings, Oxford and Newark and Sherwood will also see increases of more than £500. The highest council tax bills will be in Rutland, where charges will increase from £2,671 this year to £3,221. Band H ratepayers in England's smallest county will have to pay £6,442. However, Rutland is subject to local government reorganisation and may be merged with another area by 2029. Elliot Keck, head of campaigns at the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'Council tax is the ultimate stealth tax, given the way in which successive governments have piled on responsibilities to town halls without the resources to pay for them but with the permission to hike bills for residents. 'And this Government clearly intends to continue this trend by allowing years of above-inflation council tax rises, further increasing the crippling tax burden on British families and workers. 'By the end of this Parliament, the grim milestone of the first £3,000 Band D council tax bill will have been reached. 'Labour should impose lower, inflation-linked referendum caps on councils and aim for national solutions to crises such as that around social care.' Ms Reeves announced as part of June's spending review that Home Office budgets would fall by 1.4 per cent over the next three years as she sought to balance the books. The small print of the Treasury document said some of the shortfall in police funding this implied could be made up by increasing the police precept included in council tax bills. On top of this, it said that local authorities would be able to increase their parts of council tax bills by 3 per cent, plus an extra 2 per cent if they provided adult social care. These increases would be allowed for the next three years, the Treasury said. Average Band D bill to rise £395 The imposition of maximum increases over three years implies that for Band D households, bills will go up by £395 after three years. Average council tax is currently £2,280 – so the increase would put this up to £2,675. The largest Band H households would pay £5,350 on average. But the TaxPayers' Alliance analysis shows that the situation will be even worse in areas which are already paying high council tax. However, the shape of the local government map could change radically over the next three years. Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, wants to get rid of district councils and merge their powers with that of county councils. She wants everywhere outside metropolitan areas to have a unitary authority with a population of around 500,000. It means councils such as Rutland, with a population of just 41,000, will be merged into neighbouring authorities.
