One shopper bagged a bargain at Asda after finding a George Home Stitch Hot Water Bottle scanning for just £2.50.

The mum was quick to hop on social media to share the fabulous find with others looking to get cosy on a budget.

On Facebook, she posted: “Having a browse around Asda this morning and I came across these Stitch hot water bottle covers with a hot water bottle inside.

“It had no price tag on the shelf or the label but I noticed the other designs were around £7 so thought this would be the same.

“Took it to the checkout for it to come up at £2.50.”

The Disney fan was so thrilled she said she ended up buying two for both her girls, writing: “They’ll be so happy.”

On the water bottle cover is a cute baby blue design with the family-favourite cartoon character Stitch and his pink counterpart Angel.

The cover has a soft fluffy top to keep the kids warm as the temperature starts to drop over January.

Other Facebook users jumped to the comments of the post, thanking her for sharing the deal.

One wrote: “Thank you, just ordered three for my kiddos.”

Another responded: “This is soooo cute.”

A third commented: “Bargain, cheaper than plain ones.”

You can get your hands on the hot water bottle in an Asda store or, if you don’t want to risk them being out of stock, you can pop one in your basket online.

The bargain is further described on the Asda website: “Cosy up with your Disney Stitch and Angel hot water bottle on those cold winter nights.”

Shoppers who have decided to go for the purchase have left startlingly good reviews, with the frosty-season favourite racking up five stars on the Asda page.

One happy customer posted: “Much bigger than I expected but feels so nice and so fluffy.”

Another warm shopper added: “I purchased this today and wow wasn’t disappointed at all definitely worth the price and really versatile too.”

A third reviewer wrote: “This is a must for any Disney fan.

“Super cute Stitch hot water Bottle.”

It’s always worth comparing prices to check you’re getting the best deal.

We couldn’t see the exact same design being sold anywhere else.

But a Stitch soft toy style hot water bottle is reduced from £15 to £7.50 in Boots, and a furry hot water bottle with an embroidered Stitch face is selling for £10 full price in Argos.

If your youngsters aren’t into Disney, Asda has a wide range of toys and games on offer in the January sales.

The Hapello Marble Run is £8, down from £12, and comes as a  46-piece marble run including loops, wheels and ramps.

For the tiny tots, the High Chair Spinning Toy has a pound knocked off and is down to £8.

And those more into their action figures can get hold of a Dynaforce Dino Converter toy for £9 down from £12.

Now that the festive season is over, retailers will be keen to sell off the remaining stock.

Shops will often slash prices to encourage sales of these seasonal items as they become somewhat useless after December.

Waiting until the Christmas period is over is always a great way bag a bargain.
