B&M is the latest retailer to slash toy prices ahead of Christmas with up to 75% off Lego.
Other popular toys that have been reduced include Paw Patrol and Hot Wheels.

But not all toys will be discounted by as much as 75% – we’ve rounded up some of the best picks below.
The B&M sale will run in stores only until November 2.
It follows similar toy bonanzas from the likes of Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
But you’ll still want to compare prices, as you may find the same items cheaper elsewhere – even if they are part of a sale.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Sadly, the deals aren’t available online as B&M doesn’t offer home delivery.
B&M has around 600 branches in the UK – use the online store finder tool to locate your nearest shop.
