One savvy shopper shared the deal to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
Other bargain hunters were quick to start tagging their friends and hoping to get their hands on one.
One person said: “Wow, that’s a bargain.”
Another added: “It’s a decent size, I got this one last year.”

While a third commented: “I wonder if this is in our Asda?”
We had a look to see if the paddling pool was on the Asda website, and although the product is listed, it is more expensive.
The paddling pool is currently online for £10 which means the discounted price is only available in stores at the moment.
Remember that just because something is reduced in one store, it does not mean the same deal will apply to all locations.

We think this offer from Asda will be hard to beat, but we always advise shopping around anyway to make sure you don’t miss any deals.
You can use price comparison sites such as Google Shopping or PriceSpy to compare prices across different retailers.
Lots of retailers have paddling pools that you can pick up pretty cheap, it just depends on what you want.
We spotted a similar version in Argos reduced from £10 to £6 and also a slightly smaller one in The Range for £2.99.

With the warmer weather on the way, many retailers are starting to slash prices on summer essentials.
