A SUPERMARKET giant is selling Terry's Chocolate Orange for just £1 just in time for Christmas.
Co-op has slashed the price from £1.50 to just a quid for certain shoppers.
But you have to be signed up to the chain's loyalty scheme to bag the bargain.
News of the discount was posted to the deal-finding site HotUKDeals.
The shopper said: "Terry's Chocolate Oranges £1 members price at the Co-op, seen in Dronfield but this is likely to be a National deal."
Users were quick to respond in the comments hailing the low price.

One said: "Yes....the proper price!!"
Another commented: "The price they should be."
The post also received a 749% heat rating which means fellow shoppers agree it's a bargain price.
According to the comments the deal only appears to be available to Orange member cards, not Blue.
Co-op membership also gives you access to discounts across all its brands, including insurance, funeral care, and legal services.
You can either join , via the Co-op app, or in-store.
If you're not currently a member, signing up is easy and costs just £1.
This gives you access to all their lower prices in stores for members as well as personalised offers.
It's worth calling ahead to your local store to check if they are offering the deal before you head out.
You can use websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner which let you compare prices on thousands of products.
A quick search with the Google Shopping/Product tab can bring up what some retailers are selling items for too.
It's worth going direct to discounters' websites like B&M and Home Bargains too as they often have cheap chocs on sale.
Plus the closer we get to Christmas it's likely even more offers will pop up too.
But these deals do seem to come and go quickly so it's worth stocking up while you have the chance.
This appears to be the lowest price available on Terry's Chocolate Oranges currently according to Trolley.
Tesco and Aldi are selling the treats for £1.49, while Asda, Morrisons and Iceland have priced them at £1.50.
Sainsbury's Nectar card customers can also bag them for £1.50.
While Morrisons and Ocado are the most expensive at £2.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
Elsewhere, Morrisons has slashed the price of Cadbury selection boxes to just £1.
Plus, Co-op has reduced the price of Celebrations from £5.50 to just £4.50 for most of December.
