Tesco shoppers are flocking to pick up a must-have winter gadget scanning for £2.81 instead of £25.
The Silentnight so snug electric blanket was spotted by an eagle-eyed shopper discounted by a massive 89%.
The huge discount on the winter warmer was shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
The shopper said she had found “crates full” of the cut-price blankets at the supermarket’s West Bromwich store.
Another shopper added: “Wow brilliant bargain.”
A second commented: “Omg amazing.”
A third said “Look at these bad boys.”
The blanket, which the shopper said was only discounted in the double size, 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 £2.81 at your local store, and several shoppers have said it was not reduced in their branch.
Retailers are allowed to sell products for different prices across their store estate and can reduce items where they see fit.

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.
