SUMMER has barely arrived, but that hasn't stopped one super organised bargain hunter from getting prepared for Christmas.

Yep, you heard right...the festive season may be another six months away, but one savvy shopper couldn't resist making the most of the Argos half price sale.

Rachael Johnson took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK after stumbling upon the huge discounts in her local branch.

And after nabbing a toys haul that should've cost £102 for just 49p, it's little surprise she's eager to shout about it from the rooftops.

So, just how did she do it?

And it's not the first time Christmas has been on people's lips in recent weeks.

Fabulous recently told how shoppers were left open-mouthed after spotting Home Bargains getting in to the festive spirit early.

Posting on Instagram, the bargain store shard a photo of their Christmas offerings which included everything from festive signs, bows and baubles to tree decorations.

The caption read: "Since Summer isn't happening this year. Can we start to get excited about Christmas?"

The snap revealed a selection of cheap festive items, including Merry Christmas signs for £3.99 and packs of mini baubles for just £1.99.

Also on offer were front door bows which were priced from £2.99 and 99p Christmas tree decorations.

But while it wasn't made clear whether the festive aisle has actually returned to stores, festive goodies still remain out of stock on their website.
