Parents race to popular toys store to buy kids’ kitchen for just £30 – and it’s over £1k cheaper than other shops
A MAJOR toy retailer has slashed the price of a kids’ kitchen to just £30 – and it’s more than an eye-watering £1,000 elsewhere.
With summer now well and truly here, millions of parents are on the lookout for ways to keep their little ones entertained on the cheap.
As the British weather tends to be unpredictable, it’s good to be prepared for those rainy summer days when you’re stuck indoors.
Luckily, one toy store has come to the rescue, now offering cash-strapped parents what could very well be the most epic deal of the year.
According to one thrifty mum, Joanne Edwards, the mega retailer Smyths had cut the price of Lifestyle Dream Kitchen to a bargain price.
While Smyths are offering the pretend kitchen for a mere £30, rival Toys Central are selling the exact same product for an astronomical £1,057 – on sale.
Without the 40% off, the indoor kitchen will set parents back more than a whopping £1,700.
Thanks to the jaw-dropping price difference, shoppers can bag the toy kitchen for over £1,000 cheaper.
This kitchen is the perfect way to entertain your little chef for hours with pretend sink, countertop, refrigerator, stove, and oven.
The cut-price toy isn’t just fun – as it also supports role play, develops social skills in children and makes sense of real-life situations.
According to the description online, the wallet-friendly toy comes with realistic lights and sounds, 37-piece toy kitchen play set.
Also included in the set are pots, pans, silverware, coffee pot and even storage bins – however, you will have to purchase food and batteries separately.
Informing fellow shoppers about the deal, Joanna took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
Sharing a snap of the cut-price find, the lucky shopper said: ӣ30 in smyths, absolute bargain.
”I got this in the Bromborough store.”
If you’re keen to treat your kid or a younger relative to this fun kitchen, it’s worth noting that its only available in-store and not online.
What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:
- Shop early. Don’t leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
- Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don’t know and do your research checking reviews and where they’re based.
- Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer’s own website to check it’s legit.
- Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
- Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
- Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
