Tesco reveals exact date huge toy sale launches perfect for Christmas shopping including Barbie and Peppa Pig discounts

TESCO has revealed the exact date it will launch its huge toy sale and it's perfect for getting ahead with your Christmas shopping.

In the run up to the festive period, Tesco shoppers will be able to get their hands on everything from Peppa Pig to Barbie for half price.

Tesco's pre-Christmas toy sale is set to begin on Monday, September 18 and will run until November 1 and it will only run in store.

It's important to note though that you will need a Clubcard buy the items at the discounted price.

The loyalty scheme is free to sign up to and you can access exclusive low prices as well as build up points after making purchases.

Of course, you should always remember to look around for the best deals as you might find something cheaper elsewhere.

You can use tools like Google shopping to compare prices, simply search the product you want.

Anne Borrett, Tesco's toy category manager said: “There will be exciting toys for children of all ages with plenty of choice in the most popular categories including pre-school items, dolls, collectables, vehicles, plush and games.

“We hope the sale will help parents not only find some toy bargains for their kids but also spread the cost of Christmas.

Below are some of the toys that are set to be part of the Tesco sale.

5 Surprise Mini Brands 4 Pack        

• Was: £30
• Reduced to: £15
• Saving: £15 (50%)

The pack comes with five different mini products from your favourite brands and various shopping accessories.

Collect all six miniature shopping accessories including baskets, carts, shelves, cash registers and paper bags, and the kids can create their own miniature shopping world.

This was the cheapest price we could see online at the moment, with Amazon selling the same item for £21.

Rainbocorns Combo Pack     

• Was: £30
• Reduced to: £15
• Saving: £15 (50%)

Rainbowcorns are a collection of colourful plush animals and they are suitable for kids aged three and up.

Each comes in a pink plastic egg which has to be opened to reveal the cute collectable inside.

This comes in pack of three, so they work out at just £5 each in the sale.

There are 35 possible surprise cute cuddly toys for kids to unbox.

We could only see this particular version of the toy for sale at Tesco, so it could be a good idea to pick them up in the sale if you're wanting them for Christmas.

Stickle Bricks Super Builder

• Reduced to: £14
• Saving: £14 (50%)

Tesco describes Stickle Bricks as the "perfect" first construction toy for toddlers.

It combines a variety of different coloured and shaped bricks, children can stick, stack and construct.

The blocks are also machine washable so you don't need to worry about keeping them pristine.

More ways to save at Tesco

Large Tesco stores tend to have a 'world foods' aisle stacked full of goodies imported from around the globe.

These aisles are where some of the best bargains are hidden from the eyes of savvy shoppers.

Because items in their usual spots, like down the sauces aisle, are more readily available shoppers will likely pick these up instead - despite being able to make a saving a few aisles over.

Shoppers with a Clubcard regularly get specific offers to their inbox.

These include things like money off or extra points incentives for buying particular products.
