And one shopper has decided to do her Christmas shopping this summer by snapping up toys at her nearest Argos.
Rachael Johnson took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK after stumbling upon the huge discounts in her local branch.
And after nabbing a toys haul that should’ve cost £102 for just 49p, it’s little surprise she’s eager to shout about it from the rooftops.
So, just how did she do it?
Well, luckily, alongside the post, she shared a caption which revealed all.
Rachael penned: “Started our Christmas shopping (Yes. Christmas!) today. Half price sale in Argos.
“Bought these items that should have cost £102.00.
“With the discount it came to £55.49.
“Used 11,00 Nectar Points worth £55”
Paid 49p.”
She added: “We will have some very happy Grandchildren come December.”
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Amongst the bargain buys included an ‘In the Night Garden’ fun sounds Igglepiggle, Gabby’s Dollhouse secret diary set, Bluey telephone and Gabby’s Dollhouse bakery.
She also snapped up ‘The Independence and unofficial guide to Minecraft’ Top Trumps specials, original Squishmallows Top Trumps and Simbrix ‘So Sweet’ Feature Pack.
How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback.
