Parents are racing to Asda eager to nab festive jumpers slashed to just £3 – & they’re perfect for Christmas Jumper Day
IF you fancy treating yourself to a new Christmas jumper, you’ve come to the right place.
And even better, if the cost-of-living crisis has meant that your purse is feeling tighter than ever before, you’ll be thrilled to know that these festive finds are super affordable.
It comes after one savvy shopper was left thrilled when browsing the aisles in her local Asda, when she spotted the epic clothes reductions.
Overjoyed with her find, Samantha Garner took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Samantha shared snaps of her new purchase – a fun, light-up ‘Stitchmas’ jumper.
Alongside her post, Samantha beamed: “Absolute bargain in Asda today!
“There were also loads of ’Elf’ pjs too. This was in Skelmersdale.”
So if you’re a fan of the 2002 Disney film Lilo & Stitch, this could just be the perfect buy for you.
The grey Disney jumper, which features the mischievous blue creature from the famous film, was once priced at £22, but has now been slashed down to just £3.
Not only is it great for getting into the festive spirit, but it lights up too.
So if you’re looking for a cheap way to brighten up your day and fancy saving £19, you’ll need to run down to Asda, and fast.
Samantha later wrote: “Quite a few people commented about it being last years, I think that’s why they were so cheap.
“They had some other bits we noticed from last year too.”
But although this jumper may be from last year’s stock, it’s perfect for Christmas Jumper Day, the Save the Children UK event which takes place on Thursday 12th December.
The annual event raises money for the children who need it most and by dressing up and donating, you’ll be helping kids facing serious issues like war, hunger and poverty.

Are the Christmas bits out earlier this year?
It often feels like Christmas decorations and products start appearing in stores earlier each year.
Retailers typically begin to stock Christmas items well before the holiday season to capitalise on early shoppers and to extend the buying period. Here are a few reasons why it might seem like Christmas bits are out earlier this year:
Extended Shopping Season
Retailers aim to extend the holiday shopping season to maximise sales. By putting out Christmas items earlier, they encourage people to start their holiday shopping sooner.
Consumer Demand
Some consumers prefer to plan and shop for Christmas well in advance, so stores cater to this demand by stocking holiday items earlier.
Marketing Strategy
Early displays of Christmas items can create a festive atmosphere and build anticipation, encouraging people to get into the holiday spirit and start spending.
Competition
Retailers compete to attract customers, and being the first to display holiday items can give them an edge.
Supply Chain Considerations
Given recent disruptions in global supply chains, stores might be putting out Christmas items earlier to ensure they have enough stock and to spread out the demand over a longer period.
At the same time, other bargain hunters tagged their friends and loved ones to alert them to the reduced find.
One user tagged a friend and wrote: “You need to find me this!”
A second advised a savvy shopper: “If you go to Asda look for these.”
Meanwhile, another person mentioned a Facebook user and advised: “Get to Asda.”
Not only this, but one mother penned: “If anyone happens to find a size small or medium please let know my daughter would love this.”
