Three clever strategies for reducing costs when purchasing children's playthings this season
Lidl and Aldi are offering a range of budget-friendly items this month. From caramel-filled doughnuts and filled croissants to a burgundy chunky loafers and a grey bookshelf, you can find these and more at reduced prices. Lidl's filled croissants and doughnuts are now available for £28.50 (originally £40), while the grey bookshelf is priced at £14.99 (originally £38).
If you're in the market for footwear, Schuh has a variety of options including a pair of jade gua sha priced at £69.99. For a more budget-friendly alternative, you can check out Primark, where you'll find the same item for just £1.50.
Wilko is another store worth visiting, as they offer a wide selection of toys and household items. For instance, filling a large tray with flour and adding diggers or dinosaurs can provide new playtime at no extra cost.
Saving money doesn't always mean buying new. Toy libraries allow parents to rent toys, puzzles, and games for a small fee, saving you compared to buying new. These libraries are now available in various locations across the UK, including Sussex, Glasgow, and other parts of the country. You can find them in larger urban areas such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham, where community centers and libraries frequently run such programs.
Another way to save is by using apps like YoungPlanet, which connects you with parents giving away unwanted toys, clothes, and other items for free. Additionally, filling a small tub with warm, soapy water and asking kids to give dolls or other toys a bath can re-engage them with past favorites at no extra cost.
Don't forget about freebies! Aldi will be handing out free Lacura suncream, and The Sun Raffle offers a monthly giveaway of £100 to 250 readers. To increase your chances of winning, more tickets are available.
Lastly, if you're a parent looking for free items, consider joining selling groups run for local parents on Facebook Marketplace, where toys and other items are often given away for free.
Prices and availability of deals may vary, so be sure to check with your local stores before heading out. Happy savings!
