Emma Dowling shared her finds on Facebook and was quick to urge others to see if it was available in their local stores.
The post saw the lucky shopper walk out with three trolleys full of garden must-haves and they were each just 1p in Sainsbury's massive garden sale.
Emma wrote: "Just thought if anyone else was near a Sainsbury's all their summer plants & kids stuff is 1p!"
The three trolleys were filled with plant growing kits, including tomatoes, cress, carrots flowers and seed packets.
Many came with their own planters and they had all been slashed to 1p.
While it might look like Emily whipped the shelves for herself, she revealed that she planned to donate them to her local school so plenty of kids could enjoy the fun.
"Donating these to my daughter's school and some clubs," she added.
And Emma wasn't alone when it came to picking up the bargain deals.
Another shopper shared an image of her gardening haul and urged people to go to the store to find them.
The gardening sale may not be available in every store, but for those prices, it's worth checking out.

"Need to check this out asap," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Woohoo, nice to see they had sales.
"They don't normally when I get there it's all gone. So well done you."

The Queen did carry cash for a flutter
Despite having her likeness plastered all over the stuff, the late Queen appeared to display a certain aversion to cash. During her reign it was widely assumed that Her Majesty invariably travelled light, relying on equerries and sundry flunkies to stump up the odd bob should she be confronted with a sudden urge, or obligation, to purchase an item, like a Women's Institute jar of homemade lemon curd or a tartan pin cushion from a Highland Games charity stall. The only exception to this pleasingly penniless existence was recorded in a ground-breaking documentary on the royal family in 1969, during which the monarch was witnessed buying an ice lolly for a five-year-old Prince Edward in a village shop near Balmoral. However, it now turns out that the Queen was anything but averse to splashing the cash. Speaking on The Times podcast The Royals, Ailsa Anderson, the Queen's press secretary, has revealed that her employer would now and then indulge in a flutter at the races, dispatching an equerry to the course bookmaker armed with a wad of her mint's finest. The result on one occasion was a £16 win, which provoked an outburst of royal delight out of all proportion to the sum involved. In a sense, we are all queens now. Cash is becoming a niche form of exchange, increasingly supplanted by cards and smartphones. A NatWest survey last year suggested that only 8 per cent of British adults use cash exclusively. Nevertheless, the end of the folding stuff (moolah, wonga, lolly, bread and dough) is far from assured. Cash use ticks up in periods of uncertainty, especially among people who don't have much of it. Studies suggest that the brain registers more pain when parting with hard currency than when tapping a card. And, as Her Majesty understood, there is certain pleasure in handling the pound sterling, especially when one's face is staring right back at one.
