Posting on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the shopper alerted the group’s 1.5m members to the £15 saving.

The night lights – which double up as cuddly toys – project stars around the walls of your child’s room in red, green or blue.

What’s more, the elephant, turtle and puppy toys can also play five soothing songs and automatically turn off between 15 and 45 minutes later.

The post racked up hundreds of “likes” and comments from other parents who were quick to sing the night light’s praises.

One replied: “My baby loves this. I paid £20 but it was well worth it.”

“This is a bargain,” another added. “We bought ours a few years ago for our little girl and paid around £20-£3. It got her to sleep at around 3 months old and she still uses the lights to this day and she’s 3 now!”

“Love these,” a third wrote. “My son who is seven with additional needs still has it on every night. Helped him sleep from birth and it’s still going strong. Isn’t sore on batteries either.”

For more parenting stories, this mum-of-five showed off giant bed she co-sleeps in with kids but insisted she still has a ‘healthy sex life’ with husband.

And this mum transformed an old second hand playhouse into pretty pink hideaway with a lick of paint and flowers from The Range.

Plus this aunt asked for advice on keeping her niece’s mountain of toys tidy – but people reckon she needs to bin them.
