One customer managed to scoop almost £100 worth of goods for less than £7 - a saving of more than 90 per cent.
The 18-year-old, from Kingston, south west London, told The Sun: 'It seemed like the more I was adding to my basket, the lower the total was getting - I couldn't believe it.
'I ended up paying just under £7 for a shop that should've cost nearly £100. I've got about a year's supply of biscuits and chocolate now.
'I was astounded when it turned up. It was my lucky day - I felt like I'd won the lottery.'
Among the items snapped up by the student were two eight packs of Diet Coke, five sharing bags of Doritos Cool Original Tortillas, and six packets of Cadbury 's chocolate.
A Youtuber, who goes by the handle Finance with Joe, also managed to stock up on £70 worth of snacks for a tenner thanks to the glitch.
He shared a video of his haul, which included hoards of sweets, to his followers.
The error on Saturday afternoon was fixed within 90 minutes.
A Deliveroo spokeswoman said the company 'experienced a brief temporary issue with how a promotion was applied' which was 'identified and resolved quickly'.
She added: 'Deliveroo always seeks to provide great selection, availability and value for money to our customers and we apologise for the confusion caused.'

A Sainsbury's spokesman confirmed that 'a small number of products were temporarily priced incorrectly for some Sainsbury's orders made through Deliveroo'.
He continued: "This was quickly resolved within 90 minutes, with the correct prices now showing. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.'
Co-op suffered a similar glitch on Thursday evening which saw some of its product prices reduced by as much as 100 per cent on Deliveroo for a few hours.
The pricing error allowed shoppers to pick up products like Lloyd Grossman pasta sauce, Costa ground coffee and Fox's cookies for free.
Other items were significantly reduced, including Robinsons squash which was discounted from £1.50 to 15p a bottle.
Peter, from Lancashire, told the BBC he got £80 worth of goods for just £3.29 - including delivery.
He said: 'I was surprised the Co-op and Deliveroo honoured and delivered the mispriced items.'
A Co-op spokesperson said the low prices were the result of a 'clerical error' which was "quickly resolved'.
Neither of the glitches are thought to be related to recent cyber-attacks which have crippled several retail giants.
Marks & Spencer suspended all online orders after first noticing issues with its Click & Collect orders and contactless payments over the Easter weekend.
Shoppers have also spotted shortages of popular items including the iconic Colin the Caterpillar cakes.
The company confirmed it had been hit by a cyber attack and said it is working 'day and night' to fix the incident.
Co-op was also forced to shut down part of its IT system following an attempted digital break-in last week.
While luxury department store Harrods became the latest victim to hackers on Thursday.

Award-winning Aldi, Co-op, Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco wines
From a £7 Portuguese red to a £22 vintage Champagne, UK supermarkets picked up dozens of top medals for their own-brand bottles, with wines from Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S, Co-op, Asda and Waitrose going head-to-head with fine wine producers from around the globe. In one of the most competitive judging seasons yet, wines from major UK grocers earned Gold, Silver and Bronze medals across every style, from English sparkling to Barolo, Rioja, and Sauternes – many at everyday prices. Top medal winners from the IWSC 2025 Pop these award-winners in your trolley this weekend Aldi Animus Douro Reserva 2022 – Silver (94 points), £6.99 A full-bodied Portuguese red, praised for its richness and structure. One of the best-value medallists of the year. Asda Extra Special Rioja Reserva 2019 – Silver (94 points), £8 Classic vanilla, spice, and red fruit Rioja profile, praised for structure and ageing potential. M&S Collection Picpoul de Pinet 2023 – Silver (91 points), £9 A crisp, coastal white from the Languedoc – ideal summer drinking. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference English Bacchus 2023 – Silver (92 points), £9.50 A fresh, zesty white made in England, earning high praise in a competitive aromatic white category. Tesco Finest Sauternes (37.5cl) – Gold (92 points), £12 A classic French dessert wine, offering luscious, honeyed fruit for under half the price of château equivalents. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Barolo 2019 – Silver (90 points), £14 An accessible expression of Italy's king of wines, delivering dark cherry and rose petal notes. Co-op Les Pionniers Vintage Champagne 2013 – Gold (95 points), £22 The only supermarket Champagne to win Gold. A standout vintage with complex brioche and citrus notes. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 – Gold (95 points), £16 A bold southern Rhône red made in partnership with top estates, described by judges as 'impressively elegant.' M&S Collection Saint Gall Premier Cru Champagne NV – Gold (95 points), £28 Elegant, chalky, and finely textured – made in partnership with a historic grower in Épernay. Waitrose No.1 English Sparkling Brut NV – Silver (91 points), £22.99 One of the UK's most awarded sparkling wines, holding its own against Champagne. David Kermode, IWSC judge and broadcaster, says: "These results are a wake-up call for anyone who still associates great wine with high prices. "The best supermarket own-label ranges are now being made by some of the most respected producers in the world and the blind tasting at IWSC proves just how well they perform." Christelle Guibert, CEO of the IWSC, added: "At the IWSC, every wine is judged blind by a panel of experts from across the globe. What makes this year especially exciting is the number of affordable supermarket wines standing out alongside premium bottles. It's proof that great winemaking doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag." Recommended reading: The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) is widely regarded as the gold standard for wine and spirit quality. With entries judged blind by Masters of Wine, sommeliers, buyers and producers, its rigorous methodology ensures medals are awarded purely on taste and quality – with judges never seeing the bottle or label, eliminating all bias or visual influence. Celebrated globally for its integrity and expertise, the IWSC remains one of the most respected and trusted competitions in the drinks industry.
