Sainsbury’s has slashed the prices of cheese in mega sale with blocks going for 19p

FOOD fans are racing to Sainsbury’s as the supermarket slashes the prices of cheese in mega sale.

So if you’re a cheese lover and ate all of yours over the Christmas period, you’ll need to pay attention (and run down to your local Sainsbury’s as quickly as you can).

Particularly if you’re a fan of ‘smelly’ cheeses such as Stiton and blue cheese, you’ll be thrilled to know that they’ve been reduced down to just 19p each – yes, you heard that correctly.

One savvy shopper was left stunned when he noticed that the tasty cheeses had been massively slashed.

Thrilled with his finds, bargain hunter Peter Dancer took to social media to alert other shoppers.

Posting on , a private Facebook group with a staggering 203,100 members, the cheese lover shared pictures of his cheap buys and wrote: “Sainsburys cheese…. Bargain!”

Peter was overjoyed when he found Blue Stilton, which had been reduced from £1.50 to just 19p.

He was also over the moon to find rich and creamy Bleu D’affinois, which had been slashed from £1.35 to only 19p. 

Peter shared his post just 15 hours ago, but it has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 74 likes and 17 comments. 

Social media users were stunned at the cheap buys and were eager to express this in the comments. 

One person said: “Amazing, what a find! Enjoy!”

Another added: “Brilliant, you can freeze cheese.”

To this, Peter replied: “Yes you can, and YES we have!!!!!!”

He later confirmed: “We’ve got enough to see us through to Easter.”

A third commented: “Looks delicious.”

However, at the same time, one disappointed shopper wrote: “I never see bargains like that.”

Whilst someone else shared: “Damn it, I went today and it was only being reduced to half price.”

But it’s not just cheese that’s reduced in Sainsbury’s – recently, the chain ‘mistakenly’ reduced luxury packs of salmon to just £2.

Shoppers were scrambling to get their hands on the cheap fish, as many were left totally stunned when they realised that the Taste the Difference boneless salmon, which comes dressed with spiced orange and honey glaze, and garnished with orange slices, was reduced down from £17.50 to only £2.

Many Sainsbury’s fans were so impressed with the discount, that they have stocked up their fridges, with one shopper nabbing six packs of the stuff.

Thrilled with the discounted find, which shows up as just £2 when you scan your Nectar card at the till, many social media users took to Facebook to show off their bargain buys.

Posting on , a private group with a staggering 2.3 million members, one shopper named Eliina Baltushone showed off her epic haul.

She spent just £12 in total and saved £93 on six packs of the luxury fish.

Beaming with her cheap buys, Eliina wrote: “Woow only £2, saving £93.”

She then confirmed: “It’s for two families.”
