MINIONS: The Rise Of Gru hits cinemas nationwide this weekend, bringing smiles to families everywhere.
To celebrate the new release, here’s how to treat your own minions . . .
TOY-TALLY BRILLIANT: Get up to 50 per cent off selected official Rise Of Gru toys at The Entertainer () including a four-in-one puzzle game — was £12, now £6 — and a Minions bead creation set — was £15, now £7.50.
At The Works, two Top Trumps games are now £7 instead of £8.
SLUMBER PARTY: Argos is selling a reversible Minions bedding set for £26 — and head to Aldi for a grey Minions single duvet set for £12.99.
Want to get them into bed quicker? Kids will soon love brushing their teeth with the Colgate Minions electric toothbrush — was £8, now £4 at Morrisons.
PIECE OF CAKE: Minion cakes are great for a birthday party.
Pick up Asda’s ready-made Minions celebration cake for £10.50 or go DIY by making your own vanilla sponge cake, then cut out a Minion shape around the edge before decorating with blue and yellow buttercream icing.
Search YouTube for Manjaris recipes’ step-by-step Minions cake guide for tips.
DINNERS FOR VILLAINS: Dish up a side of McCain Minions for £1.50 instead of £2 when using a Tesco Clubcard (until July 18) and create the easiest dessert by colouring in a banana skin with dungarees, drawing on eyes and presenting to kids as their own banana Minion — you could even play that song if you wanted!
