Sainsbury’s Half-Price Toy Sale 2022

Sainsbury’s half price toy sale is set to be back this year too, just in time for anyone that likes to spread the cost of Christmas.

So, when is Sainsbury’s half-price toy sale in 2022 and what can you expect to see on the stocked-up shelves this year? 

Let’s find out.

Is Sainsbury Having a Sale This Year?

The second largest supermarket chain in the UK holds a sale every year and is, fortunately, going to have one in 2022 too.

Sainsburys half price toy sale is one the most highly anticipated events of the year for bargain hunters looking to stock up on deals ahead of Christmas.

The sale, which features items with prices cut by up to 50%, usually takes place in mid-October and lasts for about a week. Last year, the supermarket pushed it to November due to shipping issues.

Here are the previous Sainsbury’s sale dates:

• 2019: 16th October – 22nd October.
• 2018: 17th October – 23rd October.

Sainsbury just confirmed the sale dates, which will take place from the 12th of October till the 18th of October 2022. Since the sale is only going to be in-store, make sure you check your closest Sainsbury supermarket here.

Sainsbury Toy Sale Tips For Bargain Hunters

The first thing that shoppers need to keep in mind is that Sainsburys half price toys are only available in store and not online, so if you want to make the most out of it, you’ll need to visit the nearest Sainsbury store in your area.

If that sounds like something you can do, here are some tips on how to get the best bargains at Sainsbury’s toys sale:

• Make a list

Making a list of the things you want to get at the half price toy sale at Sainsburys will stop you from going overboard or getting overwhelmed when you get there. This way, you’ll know exactly what to look for and where and you won’t have to risk missing on the items that you planned to purchase just because you spent browsing the store.

• Check the price

You should check the price of the item you want to buy and compare it to that from other retailers before you put it on your list and in your shopping cart. You can find many toys and games at half price at Sainsbury’s toy sale,  but those same items might be cheaper at a different retailer.

• Arrive early

Given that Sainsbury’s half price toy sale is one of the most popular sales of the year, it’s no wonder that the shelves in the stores empty pretty quickly. To make sure you don’t miss out, you should make sure you show up on the first or second day of the sale.

• Browse online first 

Although you can’t buy toys at discounted prices online, browsing the online store can help you make a list and figure out what you can get at the sale.

• Check with your local supermarket 

Sainsbury’s toys sale is available in all Sainsbury’s stores, but your local store may not have some of the toys that you plan to buy, so it’s best to check with them ahead of the sale.

Bottom Line

Since Sainsbury announced the official dates for their sale, it’s best to follow our sale tips and be prepared on time. However, since the event lasts for a week, you have plenty of time to organise your shopping list and get your purchase mode on.
