Cadbury said it had discontinued its dark chocolate fingers
One bargain hunter shared the find on social media writing: "Bournville dark chocolate fingers scanning at 45p at Sainsbury's in Crawley, West Green."
The savvy shopper added there was "plenty" of stock left on shelves when they were at the store.
It comes days after The Sun reported the popular dark chocolate snack was being axed by Cadbury.
The crispy biscuits were a popular item within Cadbury's Bournville range, which features dark chocolate products.
The dark chocolate snack originally launched back in October 2020.
In the past, the Fingers were praised for being less sweet than the ordinary Dairy Milk fingers.
A Cadbury's owner Mondelēz International previously told The Sun: 'We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business.
"Our Cadbury Bournville Fingers were discontinued this year.
They added: "However, we still have plenty of other delicious products for consumers to enjoy, such as our Cadbury Bournville Giant Dark Buttons and our classic Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Fingers.'
If you are keen to get your hands on Sainsbury's bargain find, you may want to act quickly.
Sainsbury's scraps in-store changing rooms leaving shoppers furious
It is likely the supermarket is selling the axed chocolate at a discount to help shift the product before it disappears for good.
You may only be able to shop this product in-store as it appears to be unavailable online.
With that in mind, it might be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to avoid a wasted trip.

DISCONTINUED DARK CHOCOLATE
It comes as Brits have had to wave goodbye to a number of dark chocolate bars.
Toblerone axed the dark chocolate version of the bar earlier this year.
Mars axed its dark chocolate Bounty in 2023, leaving customers heartbroken.
At the time shoppers said the moves was "bad for their mental health".
Others were quick to share their pain with one fan saying: "Noooooo. Dark chocolate Bountys beat milk chocolate Bountys hands down.
And it's not only dark chocolate fans getting bruised, a number of beloved chocolate bars have vanished from shelves in recent years.
Nestlé confirmed two years ago that it had axed the Caramac bar, first launched in the late 1950s, due to "low sales".
But the treat has been spotted sporadically at bargain retailers since.
However, it's not all bad news sometimes iconic chocolate bars make a return.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls returned earlier after they were discontinued three years ago.

Gogglebox star set to be a millionaire as he splashes out on TWO houses
This star has made a fortune thanks to his popularity on the hit Channel 4 show COUCH POTATO CASH Gogglebox star set to be a millionaire as he splashes out on TWO houses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOGGLEBOX favourite Pete Sandiford's making the most of his amazing telly success, which has seen his bank balance boosted considerably. Appearing alongside his sister Sophie, 29, The Sun can reveal how Pete, 30, is on course to becoming a millionaire. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Pete Sandiford and his sister Sophie are hugely popular on Gogglebox Credit: Instagram 3 The siblings joined the show in 2017 Credit: Channel 4 3 Pete is now on course to becoming a millionaire Credit: Instagram The much-loved siblings joined Gogglebox in 2017, and have been a huge hit ever since. Reaping the rewards of his popularity, the Blackpool native has made sure that any money he's made from the show hasn't gone to waste. He's proved to be a shrewd businessman - especially when it comes to property. The Sun can reveal how the TV star has recently opened up his own investment firm Corgi Real Estate. He has also invested in a house in Fleetwood and an apartment in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, each worth £80,000. Pete has also capitalises on any earnings he makes from his TV career by setting up Corgi Media Ltd. Nevertheless, the star's daytime job isn't just appearing on Gogglebox - which he's only contracted to do 15 hours a week - but as a roofer and builder. He's got a business alongside a pal called TJ Joinery & Construction (NW) Ltd. The firm is going along very nicely and in its first set of accounts filed a £88,475 profit. Pete can't quit his regular job as he gets just £1,500 for each episode of Gogglebox, which is split with Sophie, so it's only right when he once said 'I have got to pay my mortgage somehow.' Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford reveals he's become a dad for a second time Pete and Sophie first appeared on their sofa - and bright yellow chair - in 2017 for the 10th season of Gogglebox. They quickly became popular with fans of the show for their quick wit and hilarious interactions. Aside from his humour, Pete won fans with his emotional side that he is never afraid to show. The duo aren't the only Sandiford siblings - they have another brother and sister called Harry and Lucy who do not appear on the show. Despite his popularity on Gogglebox, Pete still finds fame peculiar. "I am just a builder from Blackpool, so it is a bit strange when celebrities know us, " he once said. "I was on a roof yesterday."

Cheapest supermarket selling massive Toblerone bars for just £3 revealed as shoppers grab them for Father's Day
The same supermarket has also slashed the price of Terry's Chocolate Oranges CHOC-TASTIC Cheapest supermarket selling massive Toblerone bars for just £3 revealed as shoppers grab them for Father's Day MORRISONS has the lowest price for a big Toblerone bar just in time for Father's Day. The major supermarket has slashed the price of the 360g block of chocolate in multiple flavours by 50 percent. 2 Morrison's has slashed the price of a 360g bar of Toblerone Credit: Facebook The £3 price tag for the tasty Swiss bar is available to those with a Morrisons' member card. This price is cheaper than the next lowest of £4.75 which is available at Tesco for Clubcard holders only. Otherwise the 40 gram bar of Milk Chocolate Toblerone and other flavours is currently listed for £6 at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado. The price drop comes days after Morrisons restocked the gigantic Toblerone bar which weighs 4.5kg and is more than 12 times bigger. The limited-edition bar is in stores now and will be until Sunday June 15, 2025 making it the perfect present for Father's day. While the bar weighs in at a hefty weight, so does the price, with the bar on offer at £60 for customers with a More Card. However, those without a More Card will have to pay the full price of £80. The chocolate bar is only available in store at Morrisons but is also currently sold on Amazon for £69.99. Along with the Toblerone deals, savvy shoppers noted how Morrisons is also offering a great price of Terry's Chocolate Orange. The major supermarket slashed the price of the beloved chocolate favourite and shoppers can choose from two different flavours. What is loyalty pricing? You may have heard of loyalty pricing, but do you know what it is? Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons are three supermarkets that offer customers signed up to their loyalty schemes exclusive discounts - known as loyalty pricing. All three retailer's schemes, Nectar Card, Clubcard and More Card, are free to sign up to as well. The obvious advantage to loyalty pricing is that you can save potentially hundreds of pounds a year on your shopping, all without spending a penny. But different supermarkets offer exclusive discounts on different products, so do some research before doing your shopping. Either way, be wary of supermarkets artificially inflating prices to make it seem like you're getting a better deal than you are. A previous investigation by consumer group Which? found Sainsbury's and Tesco have increased the price of everyday goods then slapped loyalty prices on them thinking customers wouldn't notice. Either way, it's worth shopping around though. Supermarkets change their prices all the time, sometimes multiple times daily, so it's worth researching to ensure you're getting the best price on an item. You can use websites like Trolley to see how the major supermarket's compare in terms of price on any number of goods. Morrisons is selling the 90g ball in both the original and mint flavours for £1.50, for those with a member's card. The full price of the tasty treat is usually £2 and the reduced price is also cheaper than what Sainsbury's and Tesco sell it for, which is £1.95 at both supermarkets. Even with a Tesco Clubcard, Terry's Chocolate Orange 90g costs £1.75, making the Morrisons offer cheaper.
