One mum wrote: “Sainsburys have this on sale for £20!

“Bargain when it’s £80 in Argos. It’s huge aswell.”

While another mum shared her purchase with the caption “£20 in Sainsburys clearance sale.”

Other savvy shoppers flocked to the comments, hoping to pick one up for future presents.

One person said: “Thank you for posting this, just rushed up to my local Sainsbury’s and got the last one.. nearly bought it for £40 the other day too.”

While another said: “They have got some at sainsburys selly oak, Birmingham.. only 2 left.”

A third commented: “Thank you so much for this, got the last one in Wigan Sainsbury’s and also got this Stanley set reduced from £50 to £20 . I’ll have some very happy grand kids come Christmas.”

The Vtech Marble Rush Super Sky Tower set includes 143 building pieces and 10 marble marbles so you can create 3 circuit configurations suitable for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

The toy is powered by six supplied AAA batteries, a simple colour-coded building guide and stickers are included to help the child build and decorate their circuit.

The bargain toy can be picked up for £20 at participating Sainsbury locations until stock runs out.

The same toy can be found at Argos for £80 and at Asda for £22.

You can find your local Sainsbury store by using the store locator tool on its website.

It comes as The Range has released the perfect Christmas buy for just £5.99.

Shoppers are going wild after spotting a huge sleigh that holds dozens of Christmas presents.

One savvy woman was left stunned when she noticed the bargain buy in her local The Range and was keen to share it with others.

Posting on the Bargain Lovers Facebook page, a public group with 219,500 members, Emma Roddie shared snaps of the gigantic sleigh and advised others: “DON’T WALK! RUN!”

Emma confirmed that her new buy is perfect for the festive season, as she continued: “£5.99 in The Range and they are beautiful additions to Christmas Day!!

“Dimensions are 96×56. 

“I put quite a bit in it and it stayed intact.” 

How to save money on Christmas shopping

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.

Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.

Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.

Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.

Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.

Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.

Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.

Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.

They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
