‘I best get emptying those shelves’ parents say as they run to Tesco for epic baby sale – but you’ll need to move fast
SHOPPERS are sprinting to get to their nearest Tesco, eager to check out the retailer’s epic baby sale.
So if you’ve got a little darling, are pregnant, or know someone else who is, you’ll need to listen up.
With many of our purses feeling tighter than ever before and with the list of baby buys almost endless, luckily for you, Tesco has come to the rescue.
And whether you need blankets, bedding, bath toys, or maybe even a pram umbrella or a children’s rein rucksack, there’s plenty to choose from.
An anonymous Tesco shopper was left open-mouthed by the chain’s impressive discounts – and took to social media to alert others.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, the savvy parent shared a snap of their huge haul, leaving many open-mouthed.
Alongside the post, the bargain hunter advised: “Make sure you check the baby aisles in Tesco.”
The shopper was lucky enough to get their hands on a huge variety of items, including a buggy parasol, buggy blackout, a safari duvet set, a dinosaur duvet and a variety of bath toys.
Not only this, but the bargain hunter also napped bath towels, baby flannels, a dinosaur reins rucksack and an impressive collection of blankets.
The Tesco fan then confirmed: “Got all this for £40 in Tesco Cardiff.”
Thrilled with their finds, the Facebook user continued: “The bag alone is supposed to be £20, so I got a bargain there.”
The shopper later confirmed that the bag had been slashed to just £5, saving an impressive £15.
Not only this, but the shopper explained that the parasol and the buggy blackout were both reduced to just £4 each.
Social media users were open-mouthed at the Tesco buys and many took to the comments to express this.

When do supermarkets put out yellow-sticker bargains?
The time supermarkets reduce their products vary across stores.
Here’s a rough supermarket-by-supermarket guide:
Aldi
Aldi uses a red sticker to show reductions on fresh products such as bread, meat, fruit and vegetables.
This is when they have reached the last day of shelf life.
Red stickered items are most commonly found at opening and closing times.
M&S
Reduction times can vary from store to store but is most likely to occur near closing time.
Asda
Asda told Which? that yellow stickers are applied twice a day – in the morning and evening.
Co-op
Co-op told The Sun its reduced-to-clear prices are generally applied about four hours before the store closes.
Lidl
Lidl has a similar procedure to Asda and Aldi with reductions twice a day.
However individual stores may opt to reduce prices throughout the day.
Morrisons
Shoppers online have said that Morrisons does the best bargains first thing in the morning.
However, the store told Which? that there are no specific times for yellow sticker price cuts.
Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury’s told The Sun it’s at the store manager’s discretion whether to offer discounts.
However, shoppers have reported that the best deals are in the evening from 6pm.
Tesco
Tesco has said there is no specific time for reduction, but again most people found that prices were reduced from 6pm.
Waitrose
As with most of the other stores, Waitrose shoppers have said the best reductions are found before closing.
However, the store stated that there is no specific time for yellow stickers to be applied.
But you’ll need to move fast before the stock is gone, and at the same time, others tagged their friends and loved ones to alert them to the reduced buys.
One Facebook user asked a loved one: “Keep an eye out if you go.”
Another mentioned a Tesco shopper and penned: “Maybe worth a visit.”
Whilst someone else tagged a friend and wrote: “Need to check the big Tesco.”
