An eagle-eyed shopper has spotted the deal on the shelves of B&M and posted the lucky find on Facebook.

The user wrote: “B&M today find. I am so pleased.”

The refreshing beverage would normally set you back £4.99 but the bargain deal sees it scanning at only 50p.

But some Costa fans have been sceptical about the offer when they noticed it was past the expiration date.

However, others have flocked to the comments to defend the product.

One person said: “The date is BB not use by! I’d risk them for 50p. Bargain.”

Another one added: “I’m sure it’ll taste absolutely fine and things like this last way after the use by date that’s just a guideline.”

A third person wrote: “U can use a month past expiry.”

It comes as Costa Coffee has released a new summer menu which includes two new exciting bubble drinks and Italian-inspired lunch options.

How to save 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.
