IF YOU’RE hoping to get some Christmas shopping done this weekend then ASDA is the place to be.
Shoppers are rushing to get their hands on a wooden play kitchen that is scanning for better half the price.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK one mum shared their pre-Christmas bargain.
Captioning the snap of the kitchen, she wrote: “For anyone wanting a wooden kitchen! Such a bargain from ASDA, £30 instead of £75!”
The wooden playset is currently out of stock online but is still available in some stores however, you’ll need to be quick as fellow parents are eager to get their hands on the bargain.
For those who do managed to secure the bargain, one mum has revealed the perfect hiding places for kids’ Christmas presents.
Laura revealed she had been given the hack by a fellow mum and it has changed her life when it comes to stockpiling goodies.
On her @laurasmart94 account, she wrote: “To whoever said hide all Christmas presents in a suitcase…
“Thank you, you absolute legend.”
She showed how she had already filled both halves of a hard case and had secured them in place with the elastic straps inside.
Laura added: “Just me adding as I go to the suitcase.”
Her video has racked up over 7,000 likes, with many people rushing to the comments to share their views on her hack.
One wrote: “I just thought of this over the weekend now have 2 full.”
Another added: “No stop that right now. That’s GENIUS.”
Mum-of-two Naomi, 46, from Essex loathes matching Xmas jammies…
“I think matching Christmas pyjamas for all the family should be banned.
But my kids Fleur, 16, and Rocco, ten, insist on following the trend, and I’m not quite Scrooge enough to deny them such a simple pleasure — as painful as I find it.
Both my hubby Haydn, 52, a developer, and I think Christmas is so over-commercialised, and the toxic overload from relentless TV ads and social media hits me like a ton of bricks at this time of year.
But who actually started this horrendous matching PJs trend?
I’ve fought against it for years, yet somehow every December, it creeps back into my house like unwanted glitter or Christmas tree pine needles that refuse to be vacuumed up.
All those bright red polyester sets, screaming, ‘Look how festive we are!’, while I’m thinking, ‘How did I end up here?’
It’s not just the forced cheer or the synthetic fabrics that cling in all the wrong places. And don’t even get me started on the lack of sustainability.
For me, it’s the sheer try-hardness of it all. All that performative posing for Instagram — the staged fireside smiles, the matching Santa mug props.
For some mums it’s all about ‘content’ — but you’re not making memories, it’s all about looking like the perfectly polished family in public.
Come January, charity shops (and some people’s bins) will be jammed full of tacky Christmas pyjamas no one wants, or has use for, with many mums opting to buy a new set each and every year.”
