A shopper has uncovered the "bargain of the year" involving a pack of Coca-Cola cans at Morrisons in Newtown.
It has been a tough few months for fans of the popular soft drink, with the company revealing in September it had discontinued Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda.
The decision, Coca-Cola said, came as a result of "changing consumer taste preferences".
Discontinued UK sweets and chocolates
But a shopper in Newtown has found a deal on a pack of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar cans that may cheer fans up.
Newtown shopper finds "bargain of the year" in Morrisons
The local shopper took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK on Saturday (November 30) after discovering what she described as the "bargain of the year" in Morrisons, Newtown.
Pictures showed an 8-pack of Coca-Cola Zero cans (although the post said it was a 24-pack) on sale for 43p down from £4.25, a whopping nearly 90% off.
Fellow shoppers took to the Facebook post to comment on the "brilliant" Morrisons bargain.
One person said: "Lucky you well done. I wish they did this near me as I live on this stuff lol."
Another group member added: "Why do I never find bargains like this."
While a third person commented: "Always baffles me why staff don’t take deals like this."
Another shopper said they had also snapped the same 43p deal from the Newtown Morrisons.
Morrisons has been contact for comment on whether or not this offer is available in other UK stores.
Bargain hunters on Facebook said it wasn't just Morrisons where you could find heavily discounted deals like this one.
This person said: "Had similar in Tescos not long ago, £1.70 for 18 7up cans (not quite as good at £0.43 but still pretty good).
"Seems to be a lot of boxes of cans heavily reduced atm (at least in my Tescos)."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
