BIRTHDAYS can be expensive when you have children – and you might feel like you are constantly forking out for gifts for their friends.
That’s why savvy mums across the nation are always on the lookout for mega bargains that they can keep stockpiled for future party invites.
As it seems children these days are developing more and more of an expensive taste from a young age.
One bargain hunting mum has hit the jackpot at Asda, as she’s managed to walk away with £100 worth of gifts for just 38p.
She managed to find a popular kids toy for just 2p, when it usually retails for £5 and quickly filled up her trolley with the goods.
Kat Pearson posted her jaw-dropping haul to Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, and wrote: “Huge thank you to the lady who posted about these in Asda scanning through at 2p!
“Should have cost £5 each so £100! And cost me 38p!
“Got my daughter one and thought for any parties she goes to.”
The eagle-eyed bargain hunter uploaded a pic of her presents, 20 Real Littles Backpack toys.
The adorable small backpacks contain mini collectable items – such as tiny lunch boxes, mini drink bottles, scented stickers and more.
The shiny bags all come with working zippers and a clip to attach them to your bag or jeans.
They’re popular with children who like to swap the mini collectables inside.

Users online couldn’t believe that clever Kat had nabbed the lot for just 38p.
“Wow! These were £6 before!” one person wrote.
Someone else said: “Nice to see people posting about possible bargains, restores faith in people.”
Another person chimed in: “I always buy extra for parties too! Wish I’d have seen these and scanned them yesterday.”
Although not everybody was impressed with the size of Kat’s haul.
“None left now though, you got them all,” one person joked.
“Why do you have to buy so many?” another person asked.
