ZhuZhu Pet Bargains @ Home Bargains

ZhuZhu Pet Bargains @ Home BargainsHome Bargains have some great bargains up for grabs for ZhuZhu Pet fans at the moment - prices for sets are starting at just £1.99!

I still DO NOT get the allure of anything ZhuZhu Pets! I've tried, I really have, but the point of them just escapes me: Tamsin, and her daughter, have tried in vain to explain them to me, but eventually they had to concede defeat.

Now, some of these deals aren't for the ZhuZhu Pets themselves, they are for the various 'environments' you can buy for them.  For example, the ZhuZhu Pets Grocery Store Checkout is £3.99, instead of £19.99.

You can pick up the ZhuZhu Babies: Newborn Nursery for £4.99 rather than £22.99.  Going up to the 20 something pounds bracket - you can bag yourself an assorted collection of eight ZhuZhu Pet Hamsters for £23.92 instead of a whopping £79.92.

The cheapest deal by far, though, is for the ZhuZhu Puppies: Hot Dog Cart for £1.99, instead of £9.99 - I'm not sure it's right to have puppies selling anything with the word 'dog' in its name, but still!

You can arrange to pick up all your ZhuZhu Pet paraphernalia from your nearest Home Bargains store for free, or you can pay a couple of additional pounds and have Home Bargains deliver it all to you.

Happy ZhuZhuing! 

Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Shop £8.02 @ Amazon

Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Shop £8.02 @ AmazonThis Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Shop is an Amazon Deal of the Week, which means it's price is guaranteed to remain at £8.02 until 11.59pm tomorrow - its full retail price is usually £19.99.

I do not get al the hype and 'they're amazing' that surrounds the Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters.  I've tried; Tamsin and her daughter think they're fabulous and have valiantly attempted to explain them to me, but I remain at a complete loss - different character, motorised, hamsters that zoom around plastic pens with different themes are awesome, HOW?!

Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think - if you are a Zhu Zhu Pets fan then you may want to take a quick look at this Zhu Zhu Pets Ice Cream Shop.

There isn't a great deal I can tell you about it: it's an ice cream shop for your Zhu Zhu hamsters!  It doesn't come with a Zhu Zhu hamster, it doesn't require any batteries, it's just a shop that 'sells' ice cream for your Zhu Zhu Pets to zoom into (SO weird and pointless!).

Oh - and, apparently, the shop's speciality ice cream flavour is Raspberry Zhu-Whirl (I despair, I really do).

Happy 'zhu zhu'ing'!

Four Zhu-Zhu Hamsters £10.49 @ Sainsburys

Four Zhu-Zhu Hamsters £10.49 @ SainsburysIf you're a fan of the incredibly weird Zhu-Zhu Hamsters then you'll want to dash over to Sainsbury's - they're selling a four-pack of Zhu-Zhu Hamsters for £10.49, which originally cost £34.98.

Can you shorten Zhu-Zhu Hamsters to 'Zhu-Zhus'?  I really don't 'get' them at ALL! There are plenty of toys that I think are totally pointless but get why kids love them, but Zhu-Zhu Hamsters are a complete mystery to me.

Tamsin's daughter has some; they both think they're great and amazing, I see a motorised, oversized hamster that just scoots along, turns round and scoots along some more - I'm telling you, they're just WEIRD!  And, AND - they don't even look much like hamsters, they're more like Guinea Pigs!

Anyway, if you want to expand your Zhu-Zhu Hamster collection then this is a cheap and cost efficient way of doing it.  Your four Zhu-Zhu Hamsters will need eight AA batteries to enable them to race around, which are included.

You can arrange to collect your Zhu-Zhu Hamsters for free from the Sainsbury's of your choice, or you can pay an additional £3.95 and have them delivered to your home.

Zhu Zhu Hamster Deals @ Home Bargains

Zhu Zhu Hamster Deals @ Home BargainsHome Bargains have some great Zhu Zhu Hamster Pet deals on just now; you can grab a Zhu Zhu Hamster for just £2.99, instead of £9.99, and there are various other Zhu Zhu Hamster bits and pieces up for grabs with some fairly hefty savings.

Right, confession time - I don't GET anything about Zhu Zhu Hamsters!

Can someone please try and explain them to me, they just whirl around funny plastic houses on their wheels and that's about it, right?  Tamsin's daughter has a fair few Zhu Zhu Hamster bits and pieces and they've both tried to tell me why they're so cool but I'm still lost.

What is so funny and cool about robot rodents that have absolutely no purpose in life?  There's no end goal like there is when you play a game and I've really tried to see how you could make up role play games with your freaky hamster friends, but I still don't get it.

Still, if you've got a young Zhu Zhu Hamster fan in your family then you really should take a look at all the Zhu Zhu Hamster bargains that are up for grabs over at Home Bargains.

If you've got a Home Bargains store near you then you can go and collect your purchases for free, otherwise home delivery starts at 50 pence for small items, increases to £2.99 for small parcels and goes up to £6.99 for large parcels.
