Sainsbury’s shoppers rush to pick up 8-pack cans of popular fizzy drink scanning at the tills for 25p
SAINSBURY’S shoppers have been getting their skates on to head down to their local store to pick up an eight-pack of a popular fizzy drink which is scanning for just 25p.
Bargain hunters have been getting excited about the deal which sees them make a significant saving.
One savvy shopper took full advantage of the deal and filled their trolley before passing the word on.
They took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to let others know.
Posting a picture of their haul of four 8-can packs along with the receipt, they wrote: “8 can packs of Diet Coke is 25p at Sainsbury’s”.
That’s four pounds less that Asda, Aldi and Iceland are all selling the pack for, although shoppers do currently get two free extra cans, according to supermarket comparison app Trolley.
If you buy two 8-can packs at Asda, it will cost you £7
Other members of the group were suitably impressed.
One said: “Wow and u only took 4 packs I would have bought the lot.”
Another tagged in their friend and wrote: “Nip down to your Sainsbury’s.”
Someone else who also included their pal in the message, added: “I’ll keep an eye out.”
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest Sainsbury’s store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
Sainsbury’s also recently launched their new winter clothes collection with budget-friendly pieces.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
