IT’S one of the biggest pre-Christmas sales, with loads of parents stocking up on bargain presents for their kids.
And it’s now been revealed that Sainsbury’s highly-anticipated toy sale will kick off on Wednesday 23rd October.
“It has been confirmed that the up to 50% off Sainsburys Toy Sale will start Wednesday 23rd October,” a post on the Bag a Weekly Bargain Facebook group read.
The sale, which is just in stores and not online, is expected to last a week.
Brands included in the sale have previously included Marvel, Disney, Peppa Pig, Bluey and Barbie.
It’s also a good idea to check your local store’s opening times, as previous years have seen lengthy queues of shoppers desperate to nab a good deal.
And one eager shopper revealed they’d be at their nearest Sainsbury’s for when the doors open.
“The best sale honestly! I’ll be queuing early morning,” one commented on the Money Saving Central post announcing the sale date.
“It’s a good one for all ages,” another pointed out.
“Ooooh might have to get the bus down and have a look!” a third wrote.
“Can’t wait,” someone else excitedly said.
As another added: “Here we come!”
“Awww thanks,” someone else praised.
“It will save a wasted visit!”
As an added bonus, shoppers can both collect and redeem Nectar points on any purchases made in the toy sale.
“One of the great benefits of shopping at Sainsbury’s is the ability to collect and redeem Nectar points,” the Coupon Queen wrote in a post on her website.
“These points can indeed be used during the Sainsburys toy sale, allowing you to save even more on your purchases.
“So, not only can you find great deals on toys, but you can also use your Nectar points to get additional discounts.”

She also shared some important suggestions ahead of the sale, including asking for a gift receipt if you’re buying toys as presents for other people.
It’s also a good idea to check the return deadlines for any toys before purchasing them.
And remember to check whether or not the toys need batteries to work – and if they’re included.
