It's that time of year when children grab hold of the toy catalogue to start circling what they want from Father Christmas. But one retailer has found itself in hot water with shoppers after they spotted some of its toys at up to half the price elsewhere.

One mum took to social media to warn others of the 'extortionate prices' of Barbie sets in Argos and shared a number of examples of its prices compared with others toy retailers such as Smyths and B&M.

"Now don't get me wrong, I know some places differ in price, but Argos are substantially more expensive, and not just by a few pounds!
