Rather than ferry the whole family to the closest water park, Home Bargains has just started selling its very own, home-made water-filled fun zone for the same price as lunch would usually cost you on a day out.
For just £25, you can get an 8 foot inflatable water park play pool, complete with slide, palm tree shower and lots of aquarium-style animals that's perfect for kids.
The exact same pool will set you back £30 at Argos, which is still pretty good considering what you're getting, or £34.49 on eBay. On Amazon, it's currently £42.95.
Originally spotted by bargain hunters on Facebook deals page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the post has racked up a lot of interest from parents all over Britain, who are looking for even more innovative ways to keep their kids cool yet entertained during this heatwave.
Featuring an inflatable dolphin, two Nemo clown fish, slide and ring toss octopus game inflatables, there's also a palm tree water sprayer that you can attach your garden hose to for a constant flow of water.
As for the adult stuff, the base of the pool has an inflatable cushion for extra comfort, plus an easy-to-use drain valve and repair patch.
While it's certainly one of the most impressive play pools we've ever seen for £25, it seems a lot of mums and dads have also already picked up the aquarium-style garden accessory - and are just as impressed with it.
Commenting on the post on Facebook Kellymarie Wollers said, "My little ones love it. Best £25 I've ever spent", while Ellen Segal agreed, saying "We’ve got one, it’s amazing!".
On the Argos website, the pool also boasts a very decent 4.6 out of 5 star rating, from almost 400 reviews.
