    the only info I can find is someone mentioning on hotukdeals yesterday evening prior to this post - http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/sainsburys-half-price-toy-sale/773085

    "i was being nosey on facebook and found 3 people who work @ sainsburys say this....obviously i dont know how true but you never know"

    does the op have any evidence of the sale?

    That's where I found it, but that's the same time they started the sale last year.

    I've asked someone that works on that department & they confirmed it, but told me not to tell anyone

    Why are they so secretive about it? I find it so strange - surely they want people to buy the toys?!

    Yes but at full price :D

    However the real reason possibly is so competitors do not get chance to match or beat their offer

    Well I don't think us MSE's would mind if their competitors beat their offer! :D;) Can you imagine, Tesco starting a sale on the same day at 60% off all toys or even 75% off .....we can dream I guess!! :o
