Asda shoppers are desperate to get their hands on their swimming pools, which have been reduced to just £5

OUR summer may have been a bit hit and miss, but there’s no doubt that when the sun’s shining, we all wish we had a paddling pool to hand.

And now that Asda has slashed the prices of the summer essential, supermarket shoppers are rushing to make sure they have exactly that. 

The supermarket’s Classic Rectangular Pool – which is suitable for ages six and above – was originally priced at £20.

But in recent weeks, parents were thrilled to see it had been reduced by fifty per cent to £10 – and now there’s an even bigger saving. 

The 46cm by 132cm by 211cm inflatable paddling pool is currently flying off of shelves at just £5.

And at such a steal, it’s hardly a surprise that savvy shoppers are rushing to their local stores to try to pick one up.

One such customer got his hands on one, and decided to spread the word so that others could too. 

He explained: “I bought this swimming pool at £20 but returned it because of the typical English weather.

“I nipped in for a few bits and saw the summer stuff was on offer near the self-service.

“Saw the swimming pool at £5 – this will go away for next year,” he continued in a post on Facebook group Extreme Coupons and Bargains UK. 

“Was £20, reduced to £10, now £5,” the shopper added, saying they’d seen it in their local store in Leicester. 

He then attached two snaps – one of the swimming pool box and another of the yellow sticker. 

And it didn't take long for fellow Asda fans to get in on the act, as they took it in turns to tag loved ones in the post to alert them to the huge saving. 

One wrote: “Start early or next year.”

As a second social media user added: “I might have to!”

But the paddling pools aren’t the only summer and garden items that Asda has cut the price of.

This comes after others were alerted to the fact that they also have a six-piece garden furniture set marked up at £22 instead of £149.

The charcoal coloured patio furniture features a table and folding chairs, plus a parasol in dark grey.

After taking home the set, one satisfied shopper said they couldn’t believe their luck.

They wrote: “Great value for how much it has cost. Good to get a decent garden set for the garden.”
