A budgeting pro shared the useful information in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook.

“50% off on fruit and veg from Iceland on Uber Eats, should of been £65.72, got it for £38.02,” she penned.

Shoppers were stunned to discover the mega deal, accessible when ordering through UberEats from the superstore, only on Mondays.

The discount is applicable on fruit and vegetable produce as part of the company’s Fresh Mondays scheme.

No code is needed to claim the whopping 50 per cent price reduction through their app.

Other superstores including Asda, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose have all taken part in the useful deal in the past.

And, this is not the only time fans have spotted the eye-watering saving.

Another shopper hurried online to show off his huge food haul – and people couldn’t believe he nabbed a whopping 37 items for just £19.

Taking to Facebook he posted a snap of some of the bargains which included onions, tomatoes, apples, raspberries, bananas, carrots and oranges.

He revealed: “£19.79 for 37 items delivered from Asda by Uber Eats.

“50% off fruit and veg, which included the fries and the hoisin sauce, a free Cornish pasty as the order before discount was over £25 and then £15 off a shop over £25.

“Hopefully helps out a few people.”

He added: “A few people asking how to get the offer.

“If your store is doing the 50% off it will show automatically in the list and if you have the £15 off it will show at the bottom of the app.”

“I took advantage of the fruit and veg offer. It was too good to not use!” praised one.

An impressed customer commented: “Bargain – that is so good!”

A second wrote: “Asda are always the best for the free from as well. Definitely the most diverse and financially appropriate shop I’ve been to!”

Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “Wowza! Can’t get Uber eats out where I am though.”

Another added: “Thank you for posting this. Just put in an order, got loads for £15.”

And a further chimed in: “Just got £28 (before discounts) shop of fruit and veg from Coop for £6 using these offers.”

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.
