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.

Award-winning Aldi, Co-op, Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco wines

From a £7 Portuguese red to a £22 vintage Champagne, UK supermarkets picked up dozens of top medals for their own-brand bottles, with wines from Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S, Co-op, Asda and Waitrose going head-to-head with fine wine producers from around the globe. In one of the most competitive judging seasons yet, wines from major UK grocers earned Gold, Silver and Bronze medals across every style, from English sparkling to Barolo, Rioja, and Sauternes – many at everyday prices. Top medal winners from the IWSC 2025 Pop these award-winners in your trolley this weekend Aldi Animus Douro Reserva 2022 – Silver (94 points), £6.99 A full-bodied Portuguese red, praised for its richness and structure. One of the best-value medallists of the year. Asda Extra Special Rioja Reserva 2019 – Silver (94 points), £8 Classic vanilla, spice, and red fruit Rioja profile, praised for structure and ageing potential. M&S Collection Picpoul de Pinet 2023 – Silver (91 points), £9 A crisp, coastal white from the Languedoc – ideal summer drinking. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference English Bacchus 2023 – Silver (92 points), £9.50 A fresh, zesty white made in England, earning high praise in a competitive aromatic white category. Tesco Finest Sauternes (37.5cl) – Gold (92 points), £12 A classic French dessert wine, offering luscious, honeyed fruit for under half the price of château equivalents. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Barolo 2019 – Silver (90 points), £14 An accessible expression of Italy's king of wines, delivering dark cherry and rose petal notes. Co-op Les Pionniers Vintage Champagne 2013 – Gold (95 points), £22 The only supermarket Champagne to win Gold. A standout vintage with complex brioche and citrus notes. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 – Gold (95 points), £16 A bold southern Rhône red made in partnership with top estates, described by judges as 'impressively elegant.' M&S Collection Saint Gall Premier Cru Champagne NV – Gold (95 points), £28 Elegant, chalky, and finely textured – made in partnership with a historic grower in Épernay. Waitrose No.1 English Sparkling Brut NV – Silver (91 points), £22.99 One of the UK's most awarded sparkling wines, holding its own against Champagne. David Kermode, IWSC judge and broadcaster, says: "These results are a wake-up call for anyone who still associates great wine with high prices. "The best supermarket own-label ranges are now being made by some of the most respected producers in the world and the blind tasting at IWSC proves just how well they perform." Christelle Guibert, CEO of the IWSC, added: "At the IWSC, every wine is judged blind by a panel of experts from across the globe. What makes this year especially exciting is the number of affordable supermarket wines standing out alongside premium bottles. It's proof that great winemaking doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag." Recommended reading: The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) is widely regarded as the gold standard for wine and spirit quality. With entries judged blind by Masters of Wine, sommeliers, buyers and producers, its rigorous methodology ensures medals are awarded purely on taste and quality – with judges never seeing the bottle or label, eliminating all bias or visual influence. Celebrated globally for its integrity and expertise, the IWSC remains one of the most respected and trusted competitions in the drinks industry.
