The Bestway Rectangular Paddling Pool, from Argos, offers plenty of room for little ones to splash about in.
It’s a whopping seven-foot in length – or alternatively a nine-footer can be picked up for £17.50 down from £35.
The incredible deal was shared by a savvy shopper in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
She wrote: “Not sure if helpful to anyone but these pools are reduced in Argos, we were able to click and collect 9ft one straight away! Kind of underestimates the size of it in my tine garden haha but kids will love it.”
A fellow budget queen commented: “I’ve just got one today and waiting for it to be delivered!”
Meanwhile someone else was gutted to miss out on the deal.
“I just bought one full price!” They moaned.
If this paddling pool doesn’t take your fancy, another mum found a bargain in Smyths.
The best part is you don’t have to blow it up, dogs can’t pop it and it folds down tiny for storage.
Liv took to her TikTok page to post a video raving about the £64.99 Portable Folding Pool she nabbed from her local Smyths Toy Superstores.
In the clip, she showed how easy it was to put the pool up – unfolding it from the box and pulling out the stands attached to the sides for added stability.
Liv was then seen filling the pool up, before adding some inflatables and a kids’ slide for her daughter to enjoy in the water.
“Highly recommend!” she captioned her video.
“No dogs popping it, no blowing it up & deflating it – literally open it up and fold it back down!”
In another video, Liv responded to people questioning how “sturdy” the pool is, as she demonstrated by giving it a push.
While she could push the sides inwards a little, it wasn’t enough to cause any water to flow out of the pool.
Whereas from the inside, the sides were impossible to push outwards.
Keep bugs out of your pool this summer
One of the easiest ways to keep bugs out of your pool is to cover it with a dark sheet (like bin bags) when it’s not in use.
This can also help keep the water warm for kids as well.
Bug traps around the pool can also be useful.
To naturally stop bugs from coming around you can plant such as lavender, basil or mint as they hate the smell.
Meanwhile, shoppers hunting for a paddling pool more suitable for tots found the perfect fit in Argos.
And, the hot weather essential is scanning for 50 percent off.
Priced at as little as £7.50 – down from £15 – Argos’s kids paddling pool holds up to 26 litres and takes just 5 minutes to inflate.
The Bestway 3ft Sunny Days Shade Paddling Pool is flying off shelves as parents rush to nab the “soft” inflatable pool in time for this week’s hike in temperature.
Measuring 101x97x20cm, it’s designed for children over the age of 2 under the direct supervision of an adult.
It also has a UV sunshade providing a safe space for kids to splash around in out of the sun.
Delighted parents have called the paddling pool “great value for money” with one saying it makes for some “really cute photos”.
One said: “Loved this for our one year old, sun shade and low level water was perfect.”
Whilst another added: “I was lucky enough to get this in the sale and I’m so pleased with it.
“To be honest I’d buy it at full price. My daughter loves it. Easy to set up too!”
It comes as temperatures soared to highs of 26C today.
Thousands of sunseekers packed out parks and beaches to bask in the sunshine.
And temperatures are set to rise even more when the mercury hits 29C in parts tomorrow.
