SHOPPERS are already stocking up on Christmas gifts as a Peppa Pig toy was spotted on sale for just 1p from a major UK supermarket.

Discovery of the bargain Peppa Pig toy was posted on social media, and gained popular reaction from users.
A customer scanned the Peppa Pig My Favourite Days Plush at Sainsbury’s, found to be priced at just 1p.
They shared the find on Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, and thanked iconic supermarket for the item.
She said: “Going in my loft till Xmas for my little granddaughter!!!
“There was no shelf ticket but I was using the self-scan gun!!”
More than 150 members on the group reacted to the post.
One respondent wrote: “Great find.”
Another added: “Well done for finding this, nice to see the odd penny item can still be found.
“I have seen 5 different items scanning for 1p in the group this week.”
The same toy, with Peppa in her Snowy Days outfit wearing a furry purple winter coat, woolly hat and matching boots, is also for sale at other toy stores for much more.
At Hamleys and Toys4you, it is on sale for £9.99 at both stores, making the Sainsbury’s version a significant bargain.
The plush toy is part of a collection of three of the loved character “in a cute outfit, all dressed up and ready to do her favourite things”.
There is also one of the pig dressed in a unicorn dress getting ready for a day of reading and playing with her magical unicorn.
Another one has Peppa in a Rainy Days outfit, with a red waterproof coat and boots “ready to splash in muddy puddles”.
A number of other toys have also been spotted on sale at Sainsbury’s for just 1p.
One mum showed the whopping collection she had got her hands on from the supermarket.
This included Ninja Turtle plush toys for £2 and Star Wars figures for 1p as part of her Christmas shopping.
Another bargain hunter managed to snap up a Vtech Marble Rush Super Sky Tower set for just £20 at Sainsbury’s as a Christmas present for her children.
This proved quite the bargain, when Argos was selling the same product for £80.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
