FROM a new pram and cot to decking out the nursery, it's no secret that having a baby doesn't come cheap.

And let's not forget about endless nappies and wipes, plus clothes that your tot is likely to grow out of in no time either.

So when there's a chance to save some cash on essential buys, parents will jump at the chance.

That's exactly what mum Ashleigh did after spotting lots of yellow sticker bargains in her local supermarket.

Posting a picture of her amazing finds on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group - which boasts 2.4m members - she said: “Run don't walk to Asda.

"Plenty left. Great bargains to be had."

Deciding not to gatekeep, Ashleigh then went on to reveal the exact branch she spotted the deal in - Coatbridge, Lanarkshire.

Amongst the bargains up for grabs was a baby bouncer chair reduced to £11.25, a travel changing mat/bag slashed from £6 to £3, and Tommee Tippee insulated bottle bags scanning at £3.37.

There was also a huge pile of baby carriers reduced to £8 plus a flat fold bassinet that would be perfect for holidays on sale for £17.50.

But the bargain buy that parents seemed most excited about was a travel parasol.

The Red Kite umbrella, which attaches to most prams and buggies, is priced at £10 online.

But Ashleigh spotted it on sale for just £3 in her local store.

Asda bosses say it is "lightweight with a universal clamp and a compact fold".

They added: "This product will fit most pushchairs and strollers, and is supplied with a carry pouch that has a handle."

And mums and dads are desperate to get their hands on one after our weekend of scorching weather, as one gushed: "That would be perfect for the pram."

A second wrote: "Ooooh I’m going in a min I’ll have a look."

Tagging a loved one, a third pleaded: "If you go near Asda can you look for the umbrellas for buggy please?"

"I need the umbrella", chimed in a fourth.

A fifth begged: "Keep a look out please."
