TESCO shoppers are flocking to pick up a must-have winter gadget scanning for £12.50 instead of £50.
The Silentnight yours and mine electric blanket was spotted by an eagle-eyed shopper discounted by a massive 43.75%.
The huge discount on the winter warmer was shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
The shopper posted: “What a bargain Tesco this morning.”
They also shared a photo of blanket on shop shelves along with the reduced to clear label.
Also included in the post were pictures of a reduced mattress topper which had also been reduced to £12.50.
Commenting on the post one shopper said: “This is a bargain!”
Another posted: “Need this!”
A third commented: “That’s so tempting.”
While a fourth posted: “That is a need!”
And a fifth wrote: “Bl***y typical when I’ve just got one lol what a bargain that is.”
“That would be amazing,” another exclaimed.

The blanket is made from 100% polyester and features three heat settings.
Silentnight said the blanket is “energy efficient”, providing an affordable way to stay warm.
The sleep expert claimed heating your bed using the blanket for two hours on a low setting can cost as little as 1p.
But, just because one shopper found the bargain there’s no guarantee it will be listed for £12.50 at your local store, and several shoppers have said it was not reduced in their branch.

Of course, whenever buying something like this you should always check prices to see how it compares to those listed by other retailers.
You can do this through websites like Price Spy and Price Runner or quickly scan Google.
A quick scan didn’t reveal an electric blanket being sold for less.
Shoppers feeling the pinch have been hunting out bargain electric blankets this winter, including one reduced to £13.99 in B&Q last week.
Other devices have also attracted crowds including a Lidl Dyson heater dupe that was over £200 cheaper than the original.
And, if you’ve been shivering your way through the latest cold spell you may even be able to get a free blanket from your energy provider.
