Argos shoppers race to get 'bargain' pool ahead of 'UK heatwave'

Glasgow is set to welcome some fairly warm temperatures yet again this week with the city expected to see highs of 27C.

The Met Office weather forecast for Scotland's biggest city indicates that we could be set for four days of sunshine as the week progresses.

And after the last heatwave, which saw parts of Scotland soar above 30C, people are keen to prepare ahead of time with shoppers trying to find pools for their kids and pets - as well as themselves.

However it seems one shopper has found the perfect pool for people to cool down in after coming across one on sale. The inflatable pool measures 9ft and can hold up to 500 litres of water - perfect for when the sun comes out.

Taking to Facebook's Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the shopper shared with the group's two million members what they had found online. In the caption they wrote: "Bought from Argos for £21. For the price it's huge and perfect for the week of 30c+ weather!"

And in better news, the 'Chad Valley Ocean Lagoon Kids Paddling Pool' is on sale from £32 to £21.

According to the product description on Argos' website, it reads: "Cool off in the garden and enjoy some splashing water play with this paddling pool. The printed ocean creatures are bright and colourful to help spark ideas and encourage imaginative play in the water. The figure eight design makes sure that your children have plenty of space to play.

"Made from sturdy, pre-tested vinyl the pool has sturdy I-beam construction and extra-wide side walls. A heavy-duty repair patch is included in case of any accidents. Please note the pump is not included."

Out of 1,451 reviews, it has a rating of 4.7 stars out of five, proving it to be a popular product.

Responding to the post on the money-saving Facebook group one said: "We absolutely love this pool. It's huge and lasted us three summers, have just replaced it with the same one again."

Another added: "Yes it is darling and needed during this hot weather is the kids would love it."

"I've had this pool for three years, when I got it they were two for £30 and I'm still using the 1st one, the other is still in the attic ready for when this one gives up but I don't think it will anytime soon!!" commented a third.

If you are keen to keep cool in the sun, you can buy the pool here.
