Tesco shopper finds ultimate bargain as Kinder Egg is reduced from 1p to FREE

A TESCO shopper found himself the ultimate bargain in one of its branches recently, when he spotted a Kinder Surprise that was reduced to FREE.

The chocolate egg is usually 49p in stores but it was reduced by staff from 1p to £0.00.

Yesterday, Ryan Thompson posted a picture of the bargain in the the 

Underneath the post, Ryan's fellow bargain hunters expressed shock - with many congratulating him on the rare find.

One wrote: ''You have won this entire page!''

''Winner of best bargain of the day,'' added another.

''That's eggcelent!!!'' wrote a third.

We're unsure why the egg was discounted for a second time, but we've contacted Ryan to see if he can update us.

This is not the first time Tesco has left shoppers scratching their heads though.

The supermarket was left red-faced after a glaring error was discovered on one of their T-shirts.

The blunder saw the name of a historical British arms manufacturer printed incorrectly.

It's not just Tesco making mistakes though as Sainsbury's was mocked on social media for a pricing error that saw Heinz lentil soup go up by ten pence despite having a reduced sticker.

Finding a yellow sticker bargain on good quality food is a real win - but did you know there is actually a specific time to visit the supermarket to take advantage of these deals?

The reduced items often mean you are saving up to 75 per cent off the retail price, and if you have a big freezer then it's the perfect way to stock up on the best brands for less.
