Another shopper had also spotted a Wooden Deluxe Cafe kitchen set that would’ve originally set you back an eye-watering £75.
Thanks to the jaw-dropping price reductions, this mega toy is now retailing for just £18.50 – meaning you’ll get spare change from £20.
The person wrote in the post: ”Scanned at £18.50 in Asda, £75 on the website. the kitchens were reduced from £45 to £12/15, bargain!”
The kitchen set, ideal for those three and older, comes with a built-in chalkboard and features over 20 play accessories, including cup and saucer set, cakes and coffee making set.

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.
A whopping 300 people gave them a like, as dozens more flooded to comments to tag their friends and family.
One person who had purchased the kitchen set said: ”We paid £37.50 back in feb and it was worth every penny it’s so lovely! What a bargain!”
Someone else chimed in: ”Asda Hyde had them too today.”
A parent, meanwhile, warned: ”Check you have the screws! Mine didn’t come with screws and it’s been nightmare getting in contact with customer service.”
”Time for Xmas shopping,” a fourth was determined to get the presents ready well ahead of the festive season.
