A customer scanned the Peppa Pig My Favourite Days Plush at Sainsbury's, found to be priced at just 1p.
They shared the find on Facebook's Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, and thanked iconic supermarket for the item.
She said: "Going in my loft till Xmas for my little granddaughter!!!
"There was no shelf ticket but I was using the self-scan gun!!"
More than 150 members on the group reacted to the post.
One respondent wrote: "Great find."
Another added: "Well done for finding this, nice to see the odd penny item can still be found.
"I have seen 5 different items scanning for 1p in the group this week."
The same toy, with Peppa in her Snowy Days outfit wearing a furry purple winter coat, woolly hat and matching boots, is also for sale at other toy stores for much more.
At Hamleys and Toys4you, it is on sale for £9.99 at both stores, making the Sainsbury's version a significant bargain.
Tesco and Sainsbury's 'secret codes' revealed
The plush toy is part of a collection of three of the loved character "in a cute outfit, all dressed up and ready to do her favourite things".
There is also one of the pig dressed in a unicorn dress getting ready for a day of reading and playing with her magical unicorn.
Another one has Peppa in a Rainy Days outfit, with a red waterproof coat and boots "ready to splash in muddy puddles".
A number of other toys have also been spotted on sale at Sainsbury's for just 1p.
One mum showed the whopping collection she had got her hands on from the supermarket.
This included Ninja Turtle plush toys for £2 and Star Wars figures for 1p as part of her Christmas shopping.
Another bargain hunter managed to snap up a Vtech Marble Rush Super Sky Tower set for just £20 at Sainsbury's as a Christmas present for her children.
This proved quite the bargain, when Argos was selling the same product for £80.

MasterChef's John Torode's 'one chance' to win back fans as TV future 'hangs in balance'
MasterChef's John Torode's 'one chance' to win back fans as TV future 'hangs in balance' EXCLUSIVE: John Torode and Gregg Wallace will not be recording anymore episodes of BBC show MasterChef after the current series concludes, following the result of an inquiry John Torode said he has 'no recollection' of using the alleged racist term John Torode's next move "could very well make or break his TV career", following his sacking from MasterChef, according to a PR specialist. Last month, it was announced that the chef will not have his contract renewed with the BBC show, due to an upheld racism allegation. In a statement, John, 60, said he has "no recollection" of the alleged racist term he is accused of using, and said he only found out he'd been pulled from the show through media reports. John's co-star Gregg Wallace will also not be returning to the show after several misconduct claims were upheld in the same investigation, commissioned by MasterChef's producer Banijay UK, and conducted by law firm Lewis Silkin. While John may not be back for another series of MasterChef, he is still thought to be employed by ITV. For now, he will continue to front John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, alongside his wife Lisa Faulkner. The broadcaster also reportedly plans to welcome back the duo in December 2025 for Christmas specials of the show. Gregg Wallace and John Torode are back for a new series of MasterChef (Image: BBC) Despite this, Kayley Cornelius says John's career on screen is looking "temperamental". Should no more allegations about him surface, the PR expert believes he could perhaps "win back public support" and continue his on-screen career, with ITV's backing. "Although ITV appear to be offering him a lifeline for now by continuing their support, I suspect that could change at the drop of a hat if it turns out this wasn't an isolated incident and more reports of similar language come to light," she added, speaking on behalf of Betfred. "It goes without saying that John's next steps will be crucial and could very well make or break his TV career." She continued: "Should he take accountability for his actions, apologise to those he's upset or disappointed, and demonstrate clear growth since the time of the incident, I do believe, based on current online sentiment, that he has a chance to win back some public support. However, he will need to accept that for some, there may be no regaining their trust at all." John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen will continue to air on ITV (Image: ITV) Kayleigh continued: "While he may have short-term security thanks to ITV, in the long term, his success and TV career will hinge on public support. "Audience numbers are crucial to the future of any television programme and the funding it receives, so if he fails to win back viewers, the show could face cancellation further down the line." The PR specialist added that if ITV were to distance themselves from John, this could result in him being "pushed out of the industry altogether". Article continues below She also notes that with broadcasting becoming increasingly competitive and presenting talent continuing to grow, producers are likely not to hesitate with replacing him. The new series of MasterChef returned to the BBC on Wednesday, with both Gregg and John at the helm. The episodes were filmed before the hosts were sacked, but according to The Independent, Gregg will be replaced by Irish chef Anna Haugh in the final episodes. MasterChef returns to BBC Two tonight at 8pm.

Christmas attraction tickets are ALREADY selling out – here is how you can still book
Plus, what Lapland UK is really like WRAP IT UP Christmas attraction tickets are ALREADY selling out – here is how you can still book Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT barely feels like men have been wearing shorts and yet Brits are already thinking about Christmas. As we quickly approach autumn, many families are turning their thoughts to their Christmas plans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Many tickets for Kew Gardens' Christmas event have already sold out Credit: Getty 3 Include in the week running up to Christmas Credit: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London Tickets for many of the UK's biggest festive events are launched months in advance. And keen Christmasphiles, there is an urge to quickly jump on booking tickets. Seemingly, that is exactly what has already happened for some Christmas events. For example, Christmas at Kew will return to Kew Gardens on November 14 with new installations. Each year there is a trail that features innovative new installations as well as a festive funfair. There are three different ticket types for different entrances - and multiple dates for admission with parking have already sold out. This type of ticket is fully sold out between December 19 and 23. There are two other entrances - Kew Gardens Underground and Kew Bridge National Rail - which both have some availability in this period. So if you want to head to Kew at Christmas, close to Christmas itself, you may need to book soon or opt for a ticket from one of the public transport entrances. There are also several dates selling out fast for parking entrance tickets, notably most weekends in November. The Sun visits the Kew Gardens Orchid Festival inspired by Madagascar Tickets for the experience cost from £31 per adult and £18 per child. And it is even worse news for Lapland UK fans, as according to the experience's website it is fully sold out for this Christmas at both the Ascot and Manchester sites. There are other Christmas events that are yet to release tickets - such as Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in London. And other popular Christmas events still have a lot of availability, like Hogwarts in the Snow for example. The event will run from November 15 to January 18, 2026 and costs from £56 per person. However, the extremely popular adult-only Yule Ball at the attraction is sold out. The Christmas event with dinner in the Great Hall runs on December 8, 9 and 10. The tickets usually cost £275 per person and sell out within hours of going on sale. What is LaplandUK like? THE Sun's Caroline Iggulden headed to LaplandUK last Christmas - here's what she thought… LaplandUK promises to transport children on a magical Christmas adventure without need of a plane or even flying sleigh. Nestled in Whitmoor Forest near Ascot, Berkshire, even the walk through the car park manages to be exciting with lights twinkling in the trees as you approach the cluster of Finnish-style cabins at this magical destination in the woods. It is the fine details that really set this woodland wonderland apart. From the miniature doorways, just for 'small folk' to use, to the beautifully fashioned individualised costumes worn by all the elves- and the big man himself-details are styled to perfection. And the experience of meeting Father Christmas is a far cry from a quick grip and grin at the shopping centre. It was pure joy to watch their jaws drop when Santa started congratulating them on recent achievements and quoting small details about them, thanks to an online form you fill in about each child before you go. Whilst LaplandUK is not a cheap day out, it certainly comprises many activities which would add up considerably for a family of five if you did them separately over the holidays. We enjoyed a top-notch theatre show experience, crafting, skating, a grotto visit and the children came away with two beautiful toys and a lot of amazing memories. TUI is also launching 'extreme day trips' to Lapland from 11 UK airports – including first-time regional base. Plus, one person quit their job and remortgaged their home to make the UK's own Lapland – people said it was a midlife crisis but biz is booming.
