From Thursday

Availability is limited and these popular toys tend to go fast

From Thursday 8 October, both Aldi and Lidl are launching their annual wooden toy events. Aldi has 50+ toys from £3.99, while Lidl has 140+ from £1.79. Lidl Plus members (free to join) can also get an extra 10% off Lidl's range until Wednesday 14 October.

Some examples at Aldi include:

Kitchen - £29.99
Supermarket playset - £29.99
Vanity table with mirror & stool - £34.99
Dollhouse - £34.99

Some examples at Lidl include:

Ice cream cart - £17.99 (£16.99 with Lidl Plus)
Double-sided easel - £17.99 (£16.99 with Lidl Plus)
Disney Princess castle - £29.99 (£26.99 with Lidl Plus)

See 'More info' below for an extended list of products at both supermarkets.

Stock is limited and these toys have proved popular in previous years, so it's best to go quick if there's something you want. At Aldi, there's a limit of two wooden toy products per customer.

Which wooden toy sale is best?

While Lidl has the bigger selection, Aldi is generally cheaper on comparable larger playsets. For example, Aldi's wooden kitchen costs £29.99, compared with £49.99 at Lidl (or £44.99 with Lidl Plus), while Aldi's vanity table is £34.99 versus £39.99 at Lidl (or £35.99 with Lidl Plus).

How do these prices compare to other retailers?

From what we've seen, Aldi and Lidl tend to be among the cheapest places to buy larger wooden playsets. For example, Aldi's wooden kitchen is £29.99, compared with £80 for one at John Lewis. Similar wooden kitchens often cost £55 to £75 at Amazon.

Online and in stores. Selected lines only

If you shop online or in-store at Morrisons (find your nearest), you can get two toys for £16 until Monday 28 December, so this could be ideal if you're planning to buy Christmas presents. Items that are part of the promotion are clearly marked and you don't need to be a More member to get this deal – it's open to all.

Morrisons told us there are over 100 items included in the deal, but what’s available will vary between stores. It includes popular brands such as Bluey, Jurassic World, SpongeBob and Harry Potter.

There are other big toy sales on now at Tesco, Argos and Asda so be sure to compare prices at those retailers and others to check you're getting the best deal.

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

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

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, Funko, Pokémon 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.

Online & in-store

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.

What does ‘up to 50% off' mean?

We've done some spot checks to try and establish what sort of discount you can really expect:

Minimum discount we spotted: 15%
Maximum discount we spotted: 50%
Typical discount based on 12 random items: 30%

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
