The announcement sent fans wild, with one excited shopper commenting: 'That's cheap.'
Another wrote: 'Time to stock up for work.'
A third joked: 'Sorry, no way I'd share,' while others tagged their mates to spread the word.
Normally priced at more than triple that, the discount is seen as the perfect excuse to load up the cupboards – whether it's for the kids, the office, or a late-night treat.
Some of the bags spotted include fan-favourites like Giant Strawberries and Supermix – both popular choices among sweet-toothed Brits.
Some shoppers are even turning to social media to show off their haul, with one uploading a photo of their trolley packed full of sweets, captioned: 'Don't judge me.'
The sweet offer follows more good news for Haribo lovers.
The brand recently launched a brand new Berry Clouds flavour, made up of triple-layer foam gummi sweets in fun, cloud-like shapes and flavours like blueberry, wildberry and strawberry.
The 650g packs are perfect for sharing and come as part of Haribo's exclusive travel range.
There's a drawing lurking in this picture of sweets - so can YOU work out which bit isn't real?
The resealable packaging makes it easier to snack on the go or save some for later – though fans admit they rarely last that long.
Elisa Fontana, Haribo's Director of Marketing, said: 'We are pleased to present this exciting new innovation and product launch that further strengthens our support to our retail partners.
"Berry Clouds was developed in direct response to consumer feedback.'
Punters have praised the new flavour. 'These are banging,' one fan raved, while another added: 'I need to try these!'
Haribo's recent push for innovation started in 2020 and has already earned major awards, including the US Consumer Survey of Product Innovation in 2022.
There's more magic in store for fans, too.
The sweet brand has dropped limited-edition Harry Potter gummies at Lidl – and they're proving just as popular.
At only £1.39, the packs feature flavours inspired by the wizarding world, including Butterbeer, green apple from the Forbidden Forest and Dumbledore's favourite lemon drops.
The themed sweets come shaped like characters, creatures and symbols from the beloved books, making them a hit with both kids and grown-up fans.
Meanwhile, Haribo has also just opened its first stand-alone store in Scotland.
The shop, located in Glasgow's Silverburn Shopping Centre, is the brand's 12th in the UK and offers more than 30 sweet varieties from both HARIBO and MAOAM.
Visitors can build their own mix from a giant Pick Your Mix station, buy exclusive global flavours, and even snap selfies with fun photo ops inside the colourful shop.
Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail at Haribo UK, said: 'We're so excited to be opening our first HARIBO retail store in Scotland.'
With bargain share bags, new flavours, themed sweets, and a shiny new shop, it's a good time to be a Haribo fan.

Leeds recycles 75% of glass due to green bin change

Households in Leeds have recycled 12,000 tonnes of glass since a new collection service began a year ago. Residents have been able to put glass in their green bins since 1 August 2024, as part of Leeds City Council's plan to cut carbon emissions. The authority said the glass recycling levels in the city had increased from 48% to 75% in the first 12 months of the programme, saving 464 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Glass is then sorted at a Leeds plant and re-melted at Yorkshire facilities to produce new bottles and jars, ready for reuse within a month. However, the council has urged residents to recycle even more glass in their green bins, as 25% of all glass is still being put in black bins, according to a spokesperson for the are also 700 glass recycling banks around the city, which can hold up to 3,000 bottles and member for climate, energy, environment and green space Mohammed Rafique said: "The first year of household glass collections has been a big success so we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone in Leeds for their efforts."Let's all work together to make the second year of glass collections even more successful than the first, to help the environment and the Yorkshire economy so that everyone wins."
