Alongside the 25p Pringles, shoppers are also buzzing over the arrival of a brand new Kinder bar.
Although Kinder has released many variations over the years, this latest addition is already causing excitement among fans of the popular chocolate brand.
Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains
It's not just the low price that's grabbing attention — it's also the mystery around the flavours.
Earlier this year, Pringles launched a Super Mario-themed mystery crisp, sparking debate online about what it actually tastes like.

One person guessed: "Yoshi flavoured."
Another quipped: "It's going to be mushroom!"
A third chimed in: "Magic Mushroom flavour?"
The official flavour hasn't been confirmed by Pringles, leaving it up to fans to figure it out.

Many say it tastes like pizza, while others think it's more like spaghetti or even ketchup.
A YouTube reviewer claimed the taste was 'a mix of ketchup, pizza and spaghetti in Mario style', which would make sense given the Italian roots of the iconic Nintendo character.
This isn't the first time Pringles has teased shoppers with mystery flavours.
Past limited-edition releases have included Southern Fried Chicken, Pickle, and even Carbonara.

So if you're craving something new, or just after a great deal, it might be worth heading to your nearest Sainsbury's. But be quick, because with prices like this, they won't stay on shelves for long.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
