Shoppers rush to buy 9ft pool that FOLDS AWAY – it takes just minutes to put up and is the cheapest around
SHOPPERS are rushing to buy a foldaway pool which takes minutes to set up and is on sale for less than £50.
The giant toys retailer Smyths is selling an enormous 9ft folding pool for a discounted price of £49.99.
One shopper spotted the product and shared the deal on the B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More Facebook group, saying that it’s great for getting up quickly when the good weather arrives.
They said: “Amazing! I buy a new paddling pool every summer, brought this one at the beginning of summer holiday holidays waiting for us to have some nice weather.
“Put up today in less than 5 minutes just unfolds and then you fill it up took 3 hours to fill.. big enough for all the family and a slide for the 4 year old…a must buy for the summer!!”
Unlike inflatable pools, you won’t have to take time blowing it up, and there are no extra parts to fiddle with, like with some metal ones.
One person commented: “This pool looks good.”
Another added: “I’ve bought this today. Defo bigger than it looks and easy to put up. Would recommend.”
Someone else wrote: “I got this at Easter and my kids love it so easy to fill and empty and a quick pack away.”
Another person commented: “We have this too it’s brilliant and a great size.”
One person added: “This would be good for the kids.”
The Portable Folding Pool requires no inflation and is easy to setup.
There is also a double outlet drain hole which makes for easy drainage.
On the Smyths website, the product has received six 5-star reviews.

It’s always a good idea to shop around because you might be able to find a better deal elsewhere.
Product prices can fluctuate as retailers take them on and off sale, with prices differing in-store compared to online.
If you want to find out how much an item costs across different retailers online you can use price comparison websites like Trolley and Price Runner.
They both use databases of thousands of products on sale.
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.
The pool usually retails for £59.99 and is currently discounted by £10, and is the cheapest we found for the style and size.
If you’re buying online remember to factor in delivery costs on top.
A similar 9ft pool is available to buy on Decathlon for £295.
Aldi is also selling a Metal Frame Pool costing £129.99. It’s a whopping 12 feet, so the whole family can enjoy making a splash.
And at Wilko, you can buy the Bestway Steel Pro Max Frame Paddling Pool 12ft for £189.
Last week, Tesco shoppers spotted that the supermarket’s 10ft outdoor pool has been massively slashed in price, from £115 to £51 as part of Tesco‘s summer sale.
The pool holds up to five people aged six and over, with a simple snap-in pole assembly for a simple setup, a strong metal frame and a puncture-resistant liner.
There is also an effective cartridge filter pump which effectively keeps water clean, and a sturdy pool cover to keep water debris-free when not in use.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
