Supermarket Toy Price War Could Save UK Shoppers £16 million This Christmas
UK Parents could receive as much as £16 million in discounts on their Christmas shopping as retailers ratchet up their Christmas toy price war.
Asda fired the opening shot, launching its Christmas Toy Event, offering 50 per cent or more in discounts on over 100 items the retailer stocks, resulting in a savings of £6 million for Asda customers.
Not to be outdone, Asda rival Tesco waded in with its own 50 per cent sale which it says will save its shoppers £10 million.
The move comes as retailers fight to fill the sales gap left after Woolworths disappeared from the market, and competition is expected to be especially intense during what may prove to be a period of fragile recovery for the UK economy.
Asda launched its Christmas Toy Event after surveying 8000 of its customers, finding that 73 per cent of parents had already began their Christmas shopping and 20 per cent were anxious about the costs of buying presents for their children.
An Asda spokesperson said: “Shoppers need to be more prepared so they can spread the cost of Christmas, while all retailers will be competing to get customers through their doors.”

Asda Fires First Shot And Cuts Price Of Toys For Christmas Shopping Season
UK Supermarket giant Asda sent tremors through toy land last week, firing the first shot in the Christmas price war that will no doubt ravage the retailing scene in the UK, to the benefit of customers.
Asda last Friday, slashed the prices on more than hundred toy items by as much as 50 per cent or more, across all 369 Asda stores in the country.
The sale is Asda’s largest ever toy event, and starts with less than 10 weeks to go until Christmas, following research commissioned by the retailer which suggests that 35 per cent of parents felt worried about the cost of Christmas shopping for their kids and were looking to contain the cost.
Though the Toy Retailers Association refuses to make sales forecast for this Christmas season, Asda’s first mover status ensures that the real winner of the fiercely contested Christmas shopping season will be its customers.
Asda has stocked over 700 toys this year and from last Friday more than 100 of these will be on sale for half price or less, wiping more than £6 million of its customers shopping bills.
Included in the offer are must have kids’ favourites such as High School Musical dolls down to just a fiver from £12, a Hot Wheels Seaport Village sailing down to £15 from £30, Disney ride-on cars for £15 down from £30, a 200-piece tub of Mega Blocks for £15 down from £32 and, for those bitten by the X-Factor bug, a Hannah Montana mich with stand for £12 down from £24.
