The mega discount had been applied to the supermarket giant’s own brand Brain Filled Bournons.
Despite Halloween having passed, the chocolate goodies are still perfectly tasty any time of year.
The helpful information was posted in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
“Sainsbury’s Weymouth, not with other biscuits, just in a Halloween section at back of store along with reduced sweets etc…stocked up for work staff room (if they make it that far)”, shared an excited shopper.
Another customer shared: “I took 10 packs into work and everyone ate them and said they were nice!”
“I think they’re lovely, normal bourbon biscuit and strawberry filling,” said someone else.
A third suggested: “Ours had the cola for 16p as well today in Hereford.”
“The biscuits taste nice, strawberry filling more suited to adult taste buds but I find that with standard bourbon biscuits anyway,” added a fourth.
“I bought them and I liked them,” said another.
The 150g packets of mixed berry flavour cream filled chocolate biscuits usually cost 65p.
Fans have hailed the Halloween candy, one said: “I bought these for Halloween, however my grandchildren scoffed the lot before we arrived home.”
Another wrote: “Fun, lighthearted, but tasty biscuits…ideal for Halloween or with a refreshing beverage.”
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.
You can find your nearest Sainsbury’s store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
You can compare prices on platforms like Google Shopping.
It comes as Sainsbury’s shoppers were also rushing to their local store to pick up an eight-pack of a popular fizzy drink which is scanning for just 25p.
Bargain hunters have been getting excited about the deal which could see them make a significant saving.
They took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to let others know.
Posting a picture of their haul of four eight-can packs along with the receipt, they wrote: “Eight can packs of Diet Coke is 25p at Sainsbury’s”.
The supermarket giant also recently launched their new winter clothes collection with budget-friendly pieces.
And, getting into the Christmas spirit, the superstore has dropped the price of the Baileys to £10 for a whole litre.
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.
