Eye Catching Toys, Home Bargains, Leigh

This afternoon I called into a couple of shops on my way home to look for a birthday present for one of my son's friends. And although I didn't quite find what I was looking for I did see some other toys reduced that others might be interested in.

First up I saw this Fisher Price Little People musical pre-school for £19.99, I thought that was quite a good price but after Google-ing it I found it even cheaper at Tesco Direct and The Entertainer for £14.99! (Delivery charges may apply.) 

It's always worth checking prices against other retailers! 

They also had a few Ever After High dolls for £9.99. Also check Toys R Us and Argos as they had similar prices but for slightly different dolls.

And Monster High 2pk Dolls Abbey Bominable and Heath Burns for £7.99. Would have probably picked one up if the present I was looking for was for a girl! Love getting something that looks more generous than it costs! They're currently £17.99 on Tesco Direct and £16.94 on Amazon. 

Finally some great little pocket money toys for £1.99 they had these Disney Planes, they had a good selection of different characters. 

(Please note these were spotted in Home Bargains, Leigh and may not be available at other stores.)

Today's Toy Bargains at Home Bargains, Farnworth, Bolton

On a quick trip to Farnworth, Bolton, this morning, I popped in to Home Bargains. There were a few things that caught my eye.

First were these Sesame Street, Furchester Hotel Elmo and Cookie Monster plush toys, only £1.99 each! For such popular characters I thought this was a great buy. Cookie Monster and Elmo have always been a favourite of young children and I can't see that changing anytime soon!

They also had some Furchester Hotel bath toys for £2.99.

Also in Home Bargains were some Collector Barbies. Although aimed at older children or the adult collector and kept on display, at these prices I'd be happy for my children to play with them.

They had 2014 Holiday Barbie in a beautiful red dress for £9.99, rrp £39.99. And a Black Label Divergent Tris Barbie for £6.99.

(Please note these were spotted in Home Bargains, Farnworth, Bolton and may not be available at other stores.)

Lego Star Wars Microfighters reduced at ASDA, Swinton - and other Lego offers!

Today I popped into ASDA in Swinton, Greater Manchester, to pick up some school trousers that I'd ordered for my son via click and collect. For anyone who's wondered what ASDA school uniform is like I can recommend it. Well, at least the little boys trousers! They fit well and wash well, and considering how often they're worn and what they must go through in an average day of a five year old, for £3-£3.50, they wear very well!

Whilst in there I had a little look down the toy aisle and at a great price were the Lego Star Wars Series 2 Microfighters. Each set seemed to be priced differently and the prices ranged from £5 to £6.73. Normally these are around £8 or £9.

The Snowspeeder (75074) was the cheapest at £5 but out of the series 2 sets, this is one of my favourites! I think these are a great buy if you are going to any boy's birthday parties. Or a bargain Valentine's gift if your other half likes Star Wars. There might be more deals coming soon on these as series 3 will be out soon but at £5 these seem a good buy.

Once again, if you're buying these for your children keep the box and instructions as they're sure to retain some value if you ever want to sell them in the future.

Also in ASDA were these Lego Star Wars buildable Obi-Wan Kenobi figures for £ 12 reduced from £ 15.97. These don't appeal to me as much as the microfighters but thought they were still worth a mention. 

Across the way at Home Bargains they had Lego luggage tags in various colours for 99p. These are great if you are planning a Lego themed birthday party soon. They could make great game prizes or you could even use them as party bag fillers.
