The Williams Racing and Nigel Mansell Lego set is now just £17.50, making it the ideal Christmas present for the petrolhead in your life.
Sharing a snap of the kit on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page, they wrote: “Just bought this from Asda for £17.50 instead of £70.”
It caused a stir with other shoppers, particularly those on the early hunt for Christmas deals.
“I need to go look,” one wrote in the comments.
“Get yourself to asda,” another added, tagging a friend.
Another person helpfully pointed out that the Williams Racing and Nigel Mansell kit wasn’t the only one up for grabs.
“They also had McLaren and Ayrton Senna for £25 instead of £70,” they wrote.
“I got the Disney castle yesterday for the same price,” another added.
One woman wrote: “Found your xmas present,” and tagged her partner.
It’s worth noting that not all stores offer the same promotions, so be sure to check with your local store before making the trip.
You can use the store locator option on Asda’s website to find the contact details for your nearest branch.
Asda isn’t the only store launching huge savings on Christmas gifts: The Range is at it too.
Some items have been dropped by up to 50% and parents are literally running to get their hands on the deals.
One savvy parent has shared their bargain find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.
The post read: “The Range 50% off selected toys, all this came to £18:50 great for stockings etc.”
The picture showed a range of board games, including an all-time classic four in a row.
The bargain hunter managed to snap up 10 items for £18.50 in total.
It comes to less than £2 for one board game which is a steal.
As Christmas is fast approaching, this is a perfect opportunity to stock up on gifts for a bargain price.

How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.

Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
