‘Run to Asda’ mums cry as they spot supermarket’s giant dachshund & cockapoo teddies they ‘need’ for Xmas presents
IF you have a dog obsessed child – or you are yourself – you may wish to pop to Asda.
The supermarket is currently selling giant pooch-themed plushies that look adorable.
One shopper shared how she had spotted Dachshund and Cockapoos in her local store and had walked away with two for her kids.
She urged people to “run” to their local stores to snap them up for themselves – and many people said they would be perfect for Christmas.
Hailing the dogs as “so cute”, he mum wrote: “Obsessed! Definitely have got the room for it but couldn’t resist.
“Near enough took up the whole back of the car.
“They’re new in today so imagine they’ll be in most stores soon.”
The stuffed toys cost £25 and appear to just be in stores and not online at this point.
The mum’s post has racked up over 41,000 likes, and people were quick to gush over the fluffy items.
One said: “Wonder whose Xmas list this will be on.”
Another added: “I NEED THE COCKAPOO.”
A third commented: “Drove straight to Asda thank you so much.”
Meanwhile one wrote: “MY SAUSAGE DOG NEEDS THE DACHSHUND ONE.”
Other people said they would hang back in case other breeds were brought out, with one woman desperate for a Labrador or Golden Retriever version.
It’s not the only toy causing a stir.
Christmas steal
Parents are rushing to Asda to snap up a “lovely” toy for kids that’s perfect for Christmas as its price has been slashed by 67 per cent.
The toy typically retails for £60 but one savvy shopper was lucky enough to bag the gift at the hugely discounted rate.
The buyer revealed on Facebook that it had been priced originally at £60 before it was cut in half to just £30.
According to the shopper, it was then reduced yet again to just £19.50 by the time they got their hands on it.
They said: “I’m quite chuffed to stash it away as an early Christmas present.”
Hundreds of commenters jumped on the post to tag their friends and ask where the lucky shopper had nabbed the deal.
One user who tagged a friend said: “Keep an eye out for me.”
Another added: “That’s cheap!!”
A third said: “This is it!
“I’ll check Asda tomorrow when I go shopping.”
