Eager shoppers have called the pool a bargain and shared it across social media.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group one bargain hunter said: “£5 in Asda Isle of Dogs one, had Loads.”
They shared a picture of the recently purchased pool in its box.
The post was met with over 200 comments from excited customers, keen to get their hands on one.
One wrote: “They are marked up as £20 but scan at £5. I use scan and go.”
Another said: “Bargain I seen them in Asda Devon.”
A third commented: “£5 in Shepshed too, they also had round ring ones at £3.”
And a fourth wrote: “We have this pool and I love it- you can fully lay down with your head cushioned on the side and sunbathe while most of you is submerged in water… kids like it too.”

While another said: “We need this for the caravan!”
Asda describes the pool as a “beautiful clear turquoise colour with mosaic pattern all around the side of the pool”.
It features plug for easy drainage and quick deflate valve.
The inflatable pool is approximately H 2.11 m x W 1.32 m x D 46 cm.
It is “perfect” for kids aged six and over.
Reviews for the item online include: “Excellent product the grandchildren have had so much fun in this pool.”
And: “Brilliant pool, great size and cheap price. Kids love it.”
Shoppers won’t be able to find it for £5 on the Asda website as it is still listed as full price online.
But several comments on Facebook stated that the pool was on sale at their particular Asda stores for a fiver.
Do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so prices and stock will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Asda store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
We had a look online to see how the cost of similar items at other retailers.
We found the exact same pool on sale at Robert Dyas for £25, while Very is selling it for £15.
Waitrose is also selling a similar item for £24.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
Meanwhile, Asda shoppers have been rushing to buy a energy saving gadget for just £12.
And, Tesco shoppers have been rushing to buy a home must-have that’s scanning at tills for £17.50 instead of £70.
