Struggling parents have been warned to expect price rises this Christmas - despite the festive period being three months away.
It comes as Argos was criticised after shoppers spotted some of its toys being sold for half price in different shops, including Smyths and B&M.
A mum said the Barbie Fast Cast Clinic Playset with Barbie Doctor Doll - on sale at Argos for £56, having been reduced by 20% from £70 - is being sold by Smyths for £26.99.
