One savvy shopper was recently left beaming after browsing the aisles in her local Tesco store, in Toton, Nottingham, when she stumbled across a handy buy that's perfect for the cold weather.
Thrilled with her affordable find, which was once marked at £8 but was scanning for just 10p at the till, Suze Marie stocked up and bought four bags - yes, you heard that correctly.
Eager to alert others to the impressive discount, Suze took to social media to share a snap of her bargain buy, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Yellow sticker shopping tips, tricks and hauls, a private Facebook group with 239,300 members, Suze revealed that she was lucky enough to nab four bags of the De-icing Rock Salt, which is said to make de-icing 'clean and efficient".
While Suze's haul should have set her back £32, she ended up only paying 40p, saving her an impressive £31.60.
Alongside her post, the savvy shopper beamed: '10kg rock salt reduced from £8 down to 10p per bag in my local Tesco.'
As a result of the impressive discount on the 'high purity' product, Suze claimed that she was 'stocking up for the winter'.
This 10kg handy pack of rock salt has been hailed as 'ideal for spreading across paths and driveways due to its carry handles and outlined cut-off section'.
It is said to 'work quickly to leave areas free from ice with virtually no residue'.
Not only is it 'long-lasting', but it also 'guards against refreezing' too.
Save with secret codes
It's ideal for use on 'car parks, pathways and steps' and is incredibly 'easy to apply'.
So if you have a step outside your house that you constantly slip on during the winter months, you'll need to get your shoes at the ready and head down to your nearest Tesco store.

But you'll need to move fast, as this bargain buy is sure to sell out quick.
Social media users were impressed with the whopping discount on this winter buy and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
Insider tip from a Tesco employee
A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.
According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.
The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.
If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check.
This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.
So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
One person said: 'Amazing.'
Another added: 'Also melts snow and ice.'
Meanwhile, a third joked: 'Don't rub the salt in just because you got a bargain…'
