Toy deals

In larger stores only. Valid on 100+ toys including Disney, Pokémon & more

It's a sale that's always popular with MoneySavers...

From Wednesday 16 September, Tesco is offering 50% off selected toys in larger supermarkets and Tesco Extras (300+ stores, find your nearest*) for Clubcard members – register online for free*. The deal's on until closing time on Sunday 1 November, or while stock lasts.

Tesco told us there are over 100 toys in the sale including pre-school items, dolls, vehicles, plush, action toys, and arts and crafts from brands such as Disney and Bluey. Of course, what's available will vary by store, and some items may sell out, so it's best to go quick if there's something you want.

Here are some examples Tesco told us about:

• Toy Story Make Your Own Forky and Karen – £10 (was £20)

• Disney Princess doll & accessories – £20 (was £40)

• Bluey Heeler Family Celebration Home – £30 (was £60)

• Mario and Luigi Mini Anti-gravity RC Races – £60 (was £100)

Tesco may not always be cheapest for everything, even during a sale, so be sure to check prices elsewhere before buying. See Argos and Asda for more toy sales.

Includes Disney, Lego, Barbie and more

Asda currently has a 'Big Toy Event' where you can get 'up to 50% off' on selected toys in-store and online. There's currently no end date to this offer, so it's best to go quick if there's something you're after as the sale could end at any time.

When we checked online, there were over 200 items in the sale (though there may be other lines available in-store), and we spotted toys from popular brands such as Hot Wheels, Disney, Barbie, and Lego. The discounted price is clearly marked.

Toy sales around this time of year tend to be popular as they often give bigger discounts than closer to Christmas.

Here are some examples we found on Monday 14 September:

• Original Squishmallows Disney 14-inch Stitch plush – £15 (was £30.47). Next cheapest when we checked, £19.99 for similar at Smyths.

• Hot Wheels Multi-Loop Race Off set – £25 (was £50.02). Next cheapest when we checked, £39.95 at Amazon.

• Lego Animal Crossing Creative Houses: Seasons of Fun (77057) – £55.97 (was £95). Next cheapest when we checked, £56 at Argos.

If shopping online, delivery's from £3.75, or Click & Collect is free.

Don't assume Asda will be cheapest for everything – always do your own price comparisons to be sure.
