The Salvos Stores Mega Toy Sale is back and it is a good one for families.

On Saturday 16 May, selected Victorian stores are offering a simple deal -
fill a bag with toys for just $6.
Yep, one bag, $6.

It is all part of Salvos Stores’ focus on keeping great quality items in circulation while supporting local communities, and Mamma says it is a great way to grab a few new (to you) toys without spending big.

Head into a participating store, grab a bag and fill it up - easy. Just be quick, as stock will only last while supplies are available.
