‘What a good deal’ parents beam and leg it to Tesco desperate to nab £4.75 buy that’s perfect for the heatwave
WITH the temperature heating up, more and more Brits will be spending time in their gardens and local parks, enjoying the sunshine.
And with temperatures next week set to rise to potentially 30C, according to the Met Office, if you’re looking for ways to stay cool, you’ve come to the right place.
Particularly if you’ve got a little one, we’ve got just the thing for you.
Parents are legging it to their nearest Tesco store, eager to get their hands on a cheap buy that’s perfect for the heatwave.
Not only is it brilliant for kids, but if you want to cool off this summer, then Tesco has got you covered.
Michael Bigramz Ramsey was left open-mouthed when browsing the shelves in his local Tesco, when he noticed that an outdoor pool was reduced for those with a Clubcard.
Thrilled with the find, the savvy shopper took to social media to alert others.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Michael shared a snap of his find – the Colour Fun Pool.
The inflatable three-ring orange paddling pool, which is great for young children, is priced at £9.50.
But if you’ve got a Clubcard, you can nab it for just £4.75, saving you £4.75.
Clearly very happy with his purchase, which took pride of place on his grass, the bargain hunter beamed: “What a good deal this is at Tesco.”
With a colourful transparent tube design, this pool will keep things bright and exciting this summer.
Made from durable, puncture-resistant materials, this inflatable pool can withstand hours of active play.
It includes a handy AirFlate Tool, making the setup a super quick and simple process.
And not only is it great as a small swimming pool for cooling down, but it’s incredibly versatile and can also be used inside as a ball pit too.

What can I get with Tesco Clubcard?
TESCO'S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop.
These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.
Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example.
You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with “reward partners”.
For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.
Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs.
Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what’s available now.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.
The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you’ll pay a higher price.
These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price.
But it’s worth noting that just because it’s discounted doesn’t necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal.
You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
A third tagged a friend and commented: “That’s perfect!”
Meanwhile, one Tesco shopper explained: “I got this for the dog!!
“Cheaper than the proper dog ones in pet stores!”

It pays to know how to bag big savings on the likes of hot tubs paddling pools, egg chairs and outside bars.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire ranges – often this ties into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends.

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 such as beach gear and paddling pools.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
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.
