Christmas 2020 might feel like a long way off, but in fact there are less than 70 days to go until December 25.
With that in mind, the thoughts of many parents will soon turn to Christmas presents, and with more families budgeting for the big day, there are plenty of opportunities to grab a bargain and treat loved ones without breaking the bank.
As the festive season draws closer, members of the Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK Group have put together a handy guide for the rumoured and predicted Christmas Toy Sales for 2020.
While it's important to stress that these dates are subject to change, here's a few dates that the group have put together to pop in the diary to help you prepare for Christmas.
Asda
The toy sale at Asda kicked off in-store on Saturday, September 12, and a number of bargains can still be found on Asda's website.
Argos
Shoppers at Argos can expect to get discounts on a variety of toys from Wednesday, October 21, whereas a number of deals can already be found on the Argos website.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
