Parents are racing to Asda to nab children's toys with bargains up for grabs for 23p and they're perfect for summer hols
PARENTS are scrambling to get to their nearest Asda store, desperate to stock up on children's toys that have been slashed. So if you've got a little darling or know someone who has, then you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. 3 3 3 With the summer holidays in full swing, we're sure many parents will be searching for cheap and cheerful ways to keep kids entertained. Well now, luckily for mums and dads on a budget, Asda has reduced the price of a large selection of outdoor toys, with all things from archery sets to bean bags on the cheap. Prices start from just 23p and there's plenty to choose from, but you'll need to move fast if you want to bag bargains. One bargain hunter was left gobsmacked when browsing in Asda with a Scan & Go machine, when she spotted that lots of toys had been marked down. Thrilled with her finds, Holly Chapman nabbed a huge haul of purse-friendly buys and eagerly took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Holly uploaded snaps of her bargains, alongside a picture of her receipt. Not only did Holly manage to get an animal ring toss game and two sky spin props, but she also got a jungle croquet set, a bean bag toss game and frisbees. To top it off, she nabbed an archery set, scoop paddles, foam rockets and a selection of balls. Overjoyed with her sale items, Holly penned: 'None of this was reduced on the shelves, I just started scanning after seeing a TikTok saying Asda were reducing their kids summer bits! 'There was lots and lots included that I didn't buy!' Inside new upgraded Asda stores Holly confirmed that there were lots of other things that had also been marked down, including paddling pools, sprinklers, bubbles and chalks. As well as this, she also spotted paint your own rocks, fairy doors, watering cans, plant pots and plenty more games. 'Even if it's not showing as reduced, scan away!' How to save at Asda Shop the budget range Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda's Just Essentials range. She said: " Asda's budget range is easy to spot as it's bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you'll find their Just Essentials range. "It's great value and I've found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets. Sign up to Asda Rewards The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda's reward scheme. She said: "Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up. "As an Asda Rewards member, you'll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you'll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products. "This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you've earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers. We've previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes - including the ones that will save you the most money. Look out for booze deals Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals. She said: "Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%. "The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C. "Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save." Join Facebook groups The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store. Eilish said: "I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store. "Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases. "For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda's new Barbie range spotted in store. "Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p." While the most expensive thing Holly bought was £3.98, the cheapest was just 23p - yes, you heard that correctly. Thrilled with her savings, the savvy mum continued: 'I saved a chunk and my children will be entertained for a while! This was Asda [in] Greenhithe and they had TONS!' Parents beam Facebook users were left stunned by the large selection of Asda bargains and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person simply said: 'I'm going to Asda.' Another added: 'Need to go.' A third tagged a friend and commented: 'Check it out.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'I got some to pop away for Easter bags next year.' At the same time, one Asda shopper shared: 'It was reduced on the shelves in my local. I got skipping ropes for 50p, big inflatable balls for £1 and swimming goggles for £1.50!' Not only this, but another happy shopper beamed: 'I got a few bits for my great nieces. Ideal for the school holidays.'
