Tesco launches half price toy sale with up to 50% off - but there's a catch

Supermarket giant Tesco is launching a huge sale that will slash up to 50% off toys on sale at the supermarket.

The offer begins on Monday, October 3, and could save you money on Christmas shopping.

Some toys will be as cheap as £7.50 once the discount has been applied.

Products benefiting from the sale include a Lego Friends Value pack, which will go down from £40 to £24 – a massive saving of £16.

Shoppers will also be able to get their hands on a y-pro football table for £12, saving them 50% off its original price of £24.

However, there is a catch, as customers will need one thing to be able to benefit from the huge sale.

Like many other discounts and deals at Tesco, shoppers will need to make sure they have a Clubcard in order to enjoy the heavily reduced toy prices.

You should also be sure to compare prices still - as just because something is in the sale, it doesn't mean you can't get it cheaper elsewhere.

Anne Borrett, Tesco’s toy category manager, said: “We know that with the cost of living squeeze, Christmas can be quite a strain on the wallet, especially for families with more than one child.

“So we want to make it easier for them to spread the cost of buying presents."

The supermarket appears to have gotten into the Christmas spirit extra early this year, with customers spotting festive chocolates and treats on sale as early as August.

Even as the UK reached record high temperatures in heat waves this year, tubs of Roses and Quality Street were spotted out on display in a number of Tesco stores across the country.

The majority of Tesco shoppers weren’t too impressed with the early arrival of Christmas, however, with one disgruntled customer writing: “Tesco, no ice in stock, but don’t worry we have your Christmas chocolates.

“A fat lot of good that will do me while I’m sat on the sofa with a Solero under each a**e cheek.”

Another commented: “Tesco now has large tubs of Quality Street and Cadbury’s Roses on display if you fancy some Christmas-themed chocolate while you slowly roast to death.”
