AN ASDA shopper has revealed a little-known way to find secret discounts including toys that scan for just 2p.
The customer posted a picture of a figurine of Sally from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas that was priced at a remarkable, bargain price of 2p.
Others were amazed at the deal, which the shopper posted to the Bargain Lovers Facebook group.
One said: “2p?! Stock up.”
Another added: ” I never get this lucky.”
A third said: “I NEED TO FIND THIS!!”
Shoppers said the figurine had been listed on Asda’s website for £5, but it has since been removed.
For comparison the Disney store is selling a set of nine The Nightmare Before Christmas figurines for £28.
The shopper found the bargain using an Asda scanner and it’s not the first time it’s turned up amazing deals.
In another instance Asda fans found a £16 twin duvet set that checked out for just 50p.
It’s simple to scan for potential bargains if you shop at Asda.
You can simply pick up a handset in store and use Scan and Go.

Not only will this alert you to any hidden deals, but you’ll be able to keep track of your total as you continue browsing.
This is great for anyone who likes to keep a budget when they shop.
You’ll need to have the Scan and Go app installed, but that’s quick and easy to do.
You’ll just need to pop in a few details and it’s free to install.
There’s also a dedicated checkout area for those using handsets so it’s quick and easy to finish your shop.
A number of other retailers have similar scanners that can help you pick up a bargain in-store.
These include the B&M scanner app as well as the scanners available in Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
Remember, just because something is on offer or part of a sale it doesn’t mean that it’s a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison sites that can help you double check a deal is as good as it looks including Google Shopping, Trolley.co.uk and Price Spy.
And remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway.
