The supermarket giant has sent fans wild by selling a Night Before Xmas Bedding set featuring a range of Christmas classic images.
A decorated tree, a snowman, Santa Claus, candy canes, a reindeer and even an elf carrying presents all are included on one side of the duvet cover and pillow cases.
On the reverse sits a red and white candy cane print.
Sainsbury’s describes the item online by saying: “Christmas is right around the corner.
“Snuggle into this soft bedding set featuring festive illustrations.
“Or flip it over for a jolly, candy-cane patterned look.”
It comes in a range of sizes from single up to super king.
The price online lists it as costing £24.
But lucky shoppers have noticed a mega bargain on the bedding with it being sold in store for a whopping £16.80 less than advertised.
One customer shared the find on Facebook and posted a picture of the playful bedding alongside the caption: “My first proper bargain in Sainsbury’s.
“Originally £24 for the double, scanning at only £7.20!
“The single one usually £20 scanning at £10.”
Several people quickly jumped into the comments section under the post as they spoke about how tempting the deal was.
One described the set as “stunning”.
As another told their pal: “Can u look for me pls in king.”
A third chimed in to their friend saying: “I just looked on Sainsbury’s website and still showing full price. You got a bargain.”
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.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Christmas fanatics have also spotted a festive essential on offer at Home Bargains.
Shoppers are racing to their nearest store to buy £4 Polar Express slippers in time for the big day.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
