Discount Dragon offers massively discounted items - usually because they are nearing their best before date.
Either that, or the packaging is faulty, or the product is limited edition and no longer available at regular stores.
And this time, the little-known online supermarket is selling chocolate bars similar to the beloved Cadbury Caramac.
Sweet lovers can snap up a box of 36 for £11.99 - the equivalent of 33p per bar.

The offer works out cheaper than other shops for the same size item.
Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons is currently selling the 37g bar for 75p in stores and online, though Morrisons does have a 2 for £1.20 deal right now working out 60p each.
Shoppers nabbing the bars from Discount Dragon will have to pay for delivery on top though.
But you can get it for free on orders over £25 - with express delivery options available.

Bargain hunters are on the lookout for Carmac dupes after Nestle made the “difficult decision” to discontinue the Caramac bar due to low sales.
The Caramac bar is a caramel-flavoured chocolate bar - its name is derived from the syllabic abbreviation of caramel and Mackintosh's which originally manufactured it
The iconic flavour came into play in the late 1950s with other variations making their way onto shop shelves too including a limited edition Caramac Kit Kat bar and Caramac buttons.
A Nestle spokesperson told The Sun: “We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Caramac. There has been a steady decline in its sales over the past few years and we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue it.
“We know fans will be disappointed to see it go, but this change will enable us to focus on our best-performing brands, as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight our consumers’ tastebuds.”
