The post revealed that Farmfoods had slashed the price of its Oreo cheesecakes to just 49p.
Reacting to the post one user wrote: “And this is why I love Farmfoods.”

A third shopper tagged their friend and said: “Your gran would have sent us to Farmfoods lol.”
While a fourth user added: “We need a Farmfoods trip.”
Several others tagged friends, urging them to head to Farmfoods as soon as possible.
It is unclear which branch the shopper snapped up the bargain treat and discounts may vary from store to store.
Previously, the major supermarket chain sold another classic chocolate at a discounted price.
A bargain hunter revealed that she got an amazing deal on Kinder chocolate eggs which scanned for just 49p at the tills.
She said: “49P EACH FARMFOODS.”
The savvy shopper bought 15 of the pack of three kinder eggs treats.
She said: “Yes I left some I have four kids and nieces and nephews.”
The post racked up nearly 1000 likes in just a few hours with over 500 comments.
Many users said they would have completely cleared the shelves if they had spotted the deal in their local stores.
One user said: “Hi if you find a find just take the cost of living means everyone has been affected. Well done you.”
Another said: “I cleared my Farmfoods shelf, not sorry but mine had the month of August on for anyone wondering.”
“Wouldn’t have left any,” claimed a third.
Unfortunately for some shoppers, news of the bargain chocolate spread quickly, leading to multiple stores running out of stock.
One user said: “Bummer didn’t see any in my local farm foods and can’t beat kinder chocolate.”
Another savvy shopper spotted the deal in her store after seeing the post online.
She said: “49p in Farmfoods thanks for the person posting it and buying all of it.”
Some viewers were concerned about the quality of the treats asking if the low prices were due to them being out of date.
They asked: “Are the dates good on them? These would be so good for trick-or-treaters!”
But those who had managed to get the deal assured they would be good for a few months.
The shopper said: “Mine are September.”

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
