sainsburys half price toy sale?when is it?

nat21luv

i was so chuffed todays, i had some amazing finds! i managed to get some harry potter sort of magic 8 ball things that were obviously last years stock as when i took then to the counter, instead of being 8.99 at half price, they were 34p half price! i went back and picked up the last 3!! managed to get hold of so much stuff whilst battling my way down the isle-i had been in there a few days previous and memorised where the toys were that i wanted! very impressed-well done sainsburys!

Hi hopeful,

We didn't find that out till very late last night to be fair and we all waited up to see if it went live at midnight like it did last night.

I was very disappointed as I only have a small local with not a very good range of toy's so yes I was one of the "annoyed" as you put it.

I have saved a set amount of money each week since the sale last year in preperation for the online sale this year.

By getting to shop online I was guarenteeing that all my Christmas present's would be sorted in one go for my children.

I like a lot of people on here do not have the money to buy these toy's full price.

i was at the Basildon store at 7:00am this morning and there were loads .. about 30+ people trying to get down one main toy aisle - was utter madness but am happy with what i got, spent £119.00 in the first run and went back out this afternoon with DF and kids in tow to see what they had left (they were restocking) and grabbed a few more unseen bargains that i missed in the morning!

Saved me a fortune this xmas & i hope the same sale comes back next year, i'll be more prepared! :rotfl:

I don't suppose they restocked with any Toy Story did they? I got there at 10 and it had all been wiped out.

Hi Everyone
Has anyone managed to find any of the following around London, Surrey or Sussex

Peppa Pig Spaceship
Mega bloks fold n go table
Moon sand
Chuggington toys??

I got quite a few small bits in Crawley, West Sussex but not what I really had hoped for. Hubbie travelled to London Colney this afternoon but nothing there that we needed either!

Thanks in advance

Hi

Not sure if any help to you know but I'm in Worthing West Sussex and arrived at Rustington store this morning at 9am to find full stock of toys (prob cause population is mainly over 50 around here!) - there was no one else in the toy aisle in the 30 mins we were browsing.:eek:
They def had Peppa Pig spaceship and various Chuggington toys so may be worth a call though bit of a drive from Crawley.

I got some SF families and smaller sets for my sister
Nerf nitefinder gun
and some lego for DS

They also had a good stock of the deluxed Buzz and Woodys.

I called in at Lyons Farm (Worthing) and Littlehampton stores today and they appeared to have much the same stock.

Has anyone had any luck with Wareham ,street Poole stores? they are all quite far from me but worth the drive if they have stock.

I'm looking for lego, tiny families and guess who.

Wareham Sainsbury is a small one, and I don't think they do toys, so would be worth a call before going.

Think I saw Guess Who in Asda for £5

Can I ask the lucky people who managed to find the Lego City Fire Station - one of the large lego sets - whether their branches of Sainsburys are the mega-sized ones?

Just wondering if it is worth the risk of putting my husband in a bad mood by asking him to do a detour on the way home via Sainsburys! Our store is middling size I would say, with a good but not great selection of toys, so I think the chances of having any of the larger lego sets may be slim. To ask or not to ask.........Just a bit envious hearing of other peeps bargains I think!

Thanks all

Hi All

Just got back from Sainsburys and I really pleased with my purchases, and pleased that I have been much more restrained than last year.

I originally went to get DS the £24.98 big Buzz Lightyear, but after a long pointless discussion with hubby about whether DS needs it, wants it, will play with it blah blah blah.... I gave in (which is rare for me) and bought a smaller basic one.

Bought :-

Club Penguin Puffle Keyring (for DD) £1.99
Hello Kitty Beanie Baby (for DD) £2.50
Toy Story Buzz Lightyear (basic figure - for DS) £4.99
Star Wars Lego Plane (for DS) £4.99
DS Tightrope Terror Stunt Set (for DS) £9.99
Thomas Fairground set (for godson) £10.00
Monopoly Revolutions (for DD) £15.00 (Brother is giving me the cash for this as was buying it her for xmas anyway and is happy to get half price)

I would like to get DS the 3 Toy Story action link sets that they had shelf edges for but had sold out of, so will try again tomorrow and over the weekend.

But TBH I am fairly sorted with xmas so it was pleasure to go for a bit of a mooch (apart from the ermm debate about whether to get Buzz or not) rather than panicing and trying to buy everything in sight which I did in the sale last year.

I am sorry to read that lots of you didnt get the bits you wanted online and hope you can get what you want instore.

From my personal point of view I have say well done to Sainsburys. The staff were really helpful, it was a very chilled out atmosphere, and they were more than willing to root in the warehouse to try and find an Action links set for me even though they must have had the busiest day ever and constant questions. :T
