Does anyone know any tips for getting cheap/reduced toys? What was that thing about the castle a while ago?

[GreenStinkingStumpSleeves]

we are stony broke and are looking for bargains for our children's Christmas pressies (yes I know, so is everybody else)

but sometimes people link to hilariously good bargains on here, and I just wondering if anyone is currently sitting on any - if so, please spill!

ELC are doing some half term/half price offers here.

Morrisons have a lovely wooden dolls house in at the moment at £30. The matching furniture pack is £10.

Martin Lewis website is worth looking at regularly. The forum for all bargains (not just toys) is here

Greensleeves- What sort of thing are you looking for? (what age are dc's?), i buy all my x-mas presents at reduced prices by searching the web. I'm happy to help you look.

you could try ebay searching near your postcode (e.g. 5 miles away). Items that are collect only don't get as many bidders. I just got some playmobil at about half the going rate because no-one else bid on it (wasn't new of course)>
NCT sales great for kids toys, often puzzles etc unused! There might be one near you before xmas?

ASDA have a half price toy sale on and other items not in the half price thing are 2 for £20.

if you list specific items you want on here, all the bargain hunter mumsnetters will do their best to provide links to all good deals if any

Half price on all toys in Sainsbo's today. Lots of lego, playdoh and toy story stuff if that floats your boat.

Argos have loads of toys at 2 for £15, have already bought a bargaintastic robosapien and playdough selection for my nephews.

Sainsburys website seems to have crashed atm...
