One savvy shopper took full advantage of the deal and filled their trolley before passing the word on.
They took to the group on Facebook to let others know.
Posting a picture of their haul of four eight-can packs along with the receipt, they wrote: “Eight can packs of Diet Coke is 25p at Sainsbury’s”.
That’s £4 less than 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 eight-can packs at Asda, it will cost you £7.
Other members of the group were suitably impressed.
One said: “Wow and you only took four packs I would have bought the lot.”
Another tagged in their friend and wrote: “Nip down to your Sainsbury’s.”

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 your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
