Deal alert: This swing set is under $280!

When I was pregnant with my fourth child, my husband and I decided to shell out for a swing set in our backyard . Why? We knew with a new baby, packing up four kids and heading to the park on a daily basis would simply not be feasible. Don’t get me wrong, I love a playground . But when you’ve got multiple kids running in every direction and a toddler refusing to only climb up a slide that big kids are careening down—well, let’s just say that the park can go from super fun to incredibly stressful real fast.

Having a play set right in our backyard means that when the baby is napping, my “big” kids can get off their screens and head outside to swing their hearts out or play pirates under the canopy. And I can be inside cooking dinner or folding laundry or answering work emails while they get allllll their energy out. The swing set was one of the best investments we’ve ever made… and we paid a lot for ours.

Which is why my jaw dropped when I saw that KidKraft is offering its Ainsley Wooden Swing Set right now for just $279 at Walmart today. (FYI: It’s a hundred dollar more on Amazon .)

What does it comes with? Two swings, a high-rail wavy slide, a rock-climbing wall, an upper level “clubhouse” (the perfect spot for summer morning snacks or kids-only meetings), a chalkboard and a sandbox. Yup, that equates to roughly 100,000 hours of kids entertaining themselves over the next year alone. For less than $270.

If you’re worried about quality, don’t be. I’ve seen the KidKraft product in person and they’re legit—big, beautiful and made of super-sturdy cedar lumber. Really I’m just here to tell ya that this is a purchase you’ll never regret, regardless of how many kiddos you’ve got at home. Your summer (and your backyard) is about to be lit!
