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.)

Furchester Hotel Isabel, £4 in TK Maxx

My son's not back at school until later in the week so on a little trip to Middlebrook retail park in Bolton we popped in to a couple of shops as he had a little bit of money given to him at Christmas. As it turned out there was nothing that caught his eye!

However, whilst in TK Maxx,  I spotted this cute little Isabel toy from CBBC's Sesame Street Furchester Hotel. It was on a table near the doors and reduced to £4. Not sure what they were originally sold at in TK Maxx as the sticker was covered up, but after a quick Google I saw it was £9.99 in Argos (delivery only) and that was pretty much the cheapest.

Not sure if they'll be available at all TK Maxx's as it probably be dependent on stock levels after Christmas, but there were a couple left a Middlebrook.

I had to pick one up as I think they are adorable and will put aside for my daughter's birthday later on in the year.
