Boxing Day sales – Mothercare slashes prices by up to 80% but only in stores
PARENTS looking to snap up baby bargains in the Boxing Day sales are in luck because Mothercare has slashed the prices by up to 80 per cent.
Items up for grabs in the sale include changing bags, carriers and strollers.
The Mothercare website is currently down though, so you’ll need to pop by your nearest store to get your hands on the items.
The retailer hasn’t yet confirmed whether this is because it’s officially shut its website, or whether it’s crashed for other reasons. We’ll update this article as soon as we hear back.
Mothercare collapsed into administration in November, but is continuing to discount items as part of its closing down sales.
It has 79 stores across the UK. You can find your nearest one using its store locator tool.
We’ve made a selection of the best deals below. Pop by your local store to check out the full range.
The offers are only available as long as stocks last, so it’s best to be quick if you don’t want to miss out.
As always when shopping, make sure you compare prices before you splash out as you may be able to find the products at a cheaper price elsewhere.
