Build-A-Bear slashes price of UNICORNS, cuddly ponies and bears to £8
There are reductions online and in stores but the best deals are in shops
YOU can buy cuddly toys from Build-A-Bear for just £8 this week, including cute pink unicorns.
The "gr£8" sale means some stuffed animals have dropped in price to £8, while others have £8 off.
There are reductions online and in stores but the best deals are available to shoppers who brave the cold and go to a physical shop.
The in-store sale lasts longer too, as it starts today and continues until Friday. The online discounts are only available until midnight tonight.
Prices of bears, fairies and unicorns are among the toys slashed to £8, with many cuddly creatures on offer at more than half price.
There's £8 off a number of other toys in stores too, including My Little Pony plushies.
The biggest saving we found in stores today is 66 per cent off a 90th anniversary Disney Mickey Mouse toy, which is down from £24 to £8.
It's also , but for twice the price at £16.
The toys reduced to £8 in stores will change every day and Build-A-Bear isn't revealing which ones will have their prices slashed until the day they are discounted.
But it's very likely its unicorn toys will be reduced to £8 some time this week, as its pink Swirl Unicorn toy is featured on its promotional adverts for the sale.
The stuffed animal usually costs £21.50 - so that's a saving of 63 per cent.
It's also for £13.50 - a discount of 37 per cent.
How to find the cheapest deals
FOLLOW our tips and tricks to cut the costs of your shopping:
- Find the cheapest online prices: Google Shopping is a good tool for finding the cheapest price - it searches a wide range of retailers of various sizes
- Abandon online shopping baskets: Don't go straight to check-out after putting the items in your basket - it may tease retailers into giving you discount codes
- Ask a site to negotiate a fee for you: If you're struggling to find a deal, Flubit is a free site that aims to negotiate discounts for you
- Sign up to retailers' newsletters for big discounts: It sometimes means a percentage discount code, or a straight discount off your first shop
- Check when stores discount groceries: Check with your local store when they discount food items that are about to expire - this is the perfect time to nab bargains
There is a way to check the daily deals without visiting one of the shops - and it's free.
You just need to sign up for an account with , which will then email you every day with details on what toys are on offer.
As with all "Furry Friends" toys, you can customise the toys with scents, sounds, clothes and accessories.
These extras are not included in the price though, so be aware that those items will cost you more.
These add-ons are not cheap either, starting from £3.50 an item, but some are included in the "gr£8" sale.
You can't take advantage of the deal with the Count Your Candles offer, where you only pay the age your child is turning if it's their birthday month.
