One mum, Sandra Gage, uploaded a snap of her monster haul of goodies that she'd picked up for her kids, which is sure to keep them busy during the school holidays.

Taking to the Facebook group , she wrote: ''Over the moon all wooden play toys, including batteries if needed £1 each at Lidl.''

Included in her bargain haul - a total of nine items - was Lidl's PlayTive Mosaic Puzzle that's perfect for tots aged three and above, as well as a box of Stacking Animals Toy, ideal for the smaller ones aged one and older.
