A savvy mum slashed the price of her daughter's Christmas present haul by more than half - by snapping up yellow sticker toys five months early. Ivet Blancafort spotted that Tesco Extra in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, were having a toy sale on July 16th and instructed hubby Isaac Martinez to pop over and bag some bargains.
IT engineer Isaac scooped up nine toys for just £27 instead of the original £75 RRP - saving almost £50 and averaging £3 a pop. Among the haul for 15-month-old Martina Blancafort was a baby doll, a toy guitar and a pull-along trolley.
The nursery teacher admits that she's usually not so organised when it comes to Christmas, but wanted to prep early in a bid to beat the cost-of-living crisis. Ivet, from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, said: "We saved £47.25 overall - the total was £75 and we paid £27.75. I didn't have anything planned, I just saw online that Tesco were having this massive toy sale.
