‘We have to pop in’ scream shoppers as store releases outdoor toys from just 50p for summer & puts deals online
THIS stationery shop may already be your go-to for finding bargains, but it turns out you can bag toys from just 50p.
A shopper recently revealed on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK that discount retailer The Works has some offers on.
The group’s admin wrote in a recent post: “Outdoor fun toys reduced at The Works.”
Shoppers were delighted, with one saying: “We will have to pop in there.”
Another Works fan was keen for her son to play with the water splash balls.
The water splash balls are just £1 – after being slashed down from £.1.50.
Also on offer is a light up bubble shooter which was reduced from £3.50 to £2.50.
But that’s not it – the affordable offering includes products for even less – with the stitch bubble maze going for just 50p.
And if your child fancies a bubble fan, The Works is selling one for just £1 – and “it doubles up as a bubble tube to create amazing giant bubbles”.
Other discounted toys include a more traditional paper hand folding fan, also going for £1.
This comes after another popular high-street retailer is slashing prices on toys in a win for bargain-hunting parents.
The store is listing a heap of toys for half price and some with an even bigger discount in a golden opportunity to gift the kids with a summertime surprise.
Sainsbury’s-owned retailer Argos has toys on sale for as low as £1.40 and a variety of options are included in the price cut, sparking excitement among shoppers.
For motor-loving kids, a slick looking radio-controlled BMW is up for £3.60, brought way down from the usual £12.
Young musicians can snap up a kit including a guitar, plastic microphone and paper music sheet for £6 – a half-price steal.
Another deal for Disney-obsessed little ones includes a doll of Isabela from the movie Encanto for £7, down from £14.
The sale was posted to hotukdeals.com and received excited responses from grateful buyers.
One user commented: “Amazing prices thank you.”
Another said: “Ordered a couple of the remote-controlled cars at £3.60 each.”
It’s also attracted attention on Facebook.
