PARENTS are rushing to Asda to buy £3 Halloween costumes for their kids after a huge sale.
Halloween is just around the corner and if you’re yet to find spooky clothes for your little ones, you should plan a trip to your nearest store.
An eagle-eyed customer spotted the deal at their local store and shared it with others on social media.
One woman took to Facebook to inform fellow parents about the spooktacular deal.
She shared the news on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
The post read: “Adults and kids Halloween clothing and costumes all reduced at Asda (Ashford).
“Available online and all stores.”
It was accompanied by a number of pictures showing the bargains she had found.
One trick or treat costume was only £3 after being reduced from its original price of £5.
A batman themed outfit was halved in price, having gone from £16 to £8.
And there were also £4 costumes on sale in the George section having been slashed down from an original £9.
One user commented: “All reduced online now too. I’ve just ordered.”
Another tagged their mate and wrote: “We are going tomorrow.”

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.”
