Informing fellow shoppers about the epic deal, one anonymous person took to Facebook after snapping up the viral Comfort Scent Booster Elixir for the bargain price.
Elsewhere, such as Waitrose, the laundry must-have will set you back an eye-watering £4 - so you really are making huge savings.
Perfect for both hot and cold cycles, the elixir leaves no residue - and it comes in a range of fabulous scents.
Morrison customers can snap up this purse-friendly product in Summer Bouquet and First Blooms, and the elixir promises to offer ''10x more fragrance'' to keep your clothes smelling fantastic.
With a deal that's too good to sleep on, the anonymous shopper got their hands on a whopping four boxes of the bargain - each containing eight bottles, or 32 in total.
Showing off their monster haul on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the customer said: ''Thanks to all who posted, got my 45p bargain from Morrisons.''
The post, uploaded less than a day ago, has already racked up a whopping 253 likes and 150 comments.
But while the shopper may have saved a fortune, not everyone was as happy about them '' clearing the shelves ''.
Many flocked to comments to slam the shopper, with one writing: ''Looks like you got more than a 45p bargain. Do people really go and buy this many items?
''I can see why you would be anonymous.''

Someone else agreed, writing: ''I'm all for times are hard but to put a post up saying bargain when the shelves have been cleared baffles me as its not in every store its only worth putting on if there is some left for others.''
A third chimed in: ''No wonder nothing left for me today when I went in Morrisons to get some.''
A bargain hunter added: ''Surprised not said 2 per customer.''
The impact of using plastic cleaning products
Laura Harnett, founder of eco cleaning brand, Seep, said: 'Many people have switched to eco friendly cleaning sprays and detergents but aren't aware that cleaning tools (such as green and yellow sponges and microfibre cloths) are made of plastic and release microplastics every time they are used.
"Microplastic is a huge concern as they are released into our water every time a plastic sponge or cloth is used to wash up or is rinsed out.
'A yellow and green plastic sponge lasts approximately one month and when you see the green part go bobbly that's all of the microplastic coming out of it."
600 million plastic household items end up in landfill every year
13 million tonnes of plastic lead into our oceans each year
1.1 million marine animals die each year as they swallow, get strangled or are suffocated by plastic
Luckily for the customer, not everyone was coming after them.
One hit back at all those slamming the shopper and wrote: ''I absolutely love when i see people in the comments complaining about how many she bought.
''I'm sorry but the price of fabric softeners (a good one) nowadays.
''If I would have seen that deal in my local shop I would have done exactly the same thing.

Tax hikes will force retailers to push up prices, cut jobs and halt shop openings retail chief warns Rachel Reeves
has been warned that further tax hikes will cause retailers to push up prices, cut jobs and halt shop openings. The latest alert was issued by Andy Higginson, the chairman of JD Sports and the British Retail Consortium industry group. He said 'all' retailers have already been left 'looking to reduce their labour forces' following a barrage of tax rises this year. And now firms fear another raid after the Chancellor's spending review on Wednesday. Concerns that bosses are set to be hammered at the next autumn Budget were ignited after Ms Reeves said she had failed to shrink the public spending 'envelope'. Major retailers, including Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's, have already axed staff. Firms have had to grapple with higher cost pressures in the wake of measures introduced in the Chancellor's autumn Budget. A sharp rise in employer national insurance contributions (NICs) and a big hike in the national minimum wage mean retailers face a £5 billion higher bill after the Budget, according to the British Retail Consortium. Firms have also been disappointed by the Government's lack of urgent action to reform business rates. Mr Higginson told Radio 4's Today programme: 'You have seen immediately the impact of the changes made in April, the slowdown that has come straight through to the economy.' He warned that in the end the Government's tax hikes 'do work through' the supply chain, meaning consumers pay more. Describing the influx of rises introduced in April as a 'tax on jobs', Mr Higginson added: 'All the retailers I know have been looking to reduce their labour forces.' It comes as dismal employment figures published this week revealed UK payroll numbers have shrunk by 276,000 over the past seven months. But in recent days, the Chancellor and Prime Minister have claimed that Labour has 'fixed the foundations' of the economy.

Finance expert warns people about writing their own ‘DIY will' to save money
Ambiguous wording can lead to inheritance disputes and unintended tax implications. When a loved one passes away, a Will can be useful for bringing structure to the probate process during an otherwise stressful and upsetting time for the family. A properly written and legally sound Will is essential to ensure your last wishes are followed by the named executor who handles the distribution to the beneficiaries. Despite the importance of this document, millions of Brits self-write their Wills, with less than half (49%) turning to law firms and solicitors for Will writing advice in 2025, according to the latest UK Wills & Probate Consumer Research Report. Will writing services start at just £150, but can save thousands on dispute costs and legal fees in the long run. If your Will is considered not legally valid, the rules of intestacy decide who benefits from the estate instead. With this in mind, Josh White, financial expert at the probate lending firm, Level Group, explained the most common mistakes people make. Leaving out important details It's vital that you spell the names of any beneficiaries correctly and include up-to-date contact details and address information. Even if you do make your own Will, having your work reviewed by a trained solicitor can spot any inaccuracies or mistakes that could invalidate the Will in the future. Not signing the Will correctly For your Will to be legally valid, you must be 18 or over, of sound mind, and make it voluntarily in writing. You need to sign it in the presence of witnesses aged 18 or over, and they must each then sign the same document. Everyone must have a clear view of the signing process. It's very important to note that you can't leave your witnesses (or their married partners) anything in your will. Your beneficiaries or their spouses/civil partners must not be your witnesses. If you ever update any parts of the Will, the same signing process needs to be followed again, otherwise the changes are not legally valid. Using an online template While it may be quicker and cheaper to fill in a pre-written form or template online, this could lead to big problems later. Most templates are too simple and don't account for complex scenarios, such as the appointment of 'substitute beneficiaries'. This means that if the person you want to leave your estate dies before you, the Will becomes invalid. Overlooking inheritance tax DIY Will solutions may help you express your wishes, but they do so without any regard for potential inheritance tax implications that it could create for your beneficiaries. By working with a trusted financial planner, you can take advantage of strategies such as using tax-free allowances and gifting to avoid unwanted tax implications. What could happen if your Will is not legally valid? If you die without a Will in the UK, or your Will isn't valid, your death is considered 'intestate' - derived from Latin meaning 'without a testament'. Intestacy rules don't consider the closeness of your relationships or who would benefit from being a beneficiary most but rather stick to a strict hierarchical classification of who gets what. Any partner who is married to, or in a civil partnership with, the intestate person at the time of death will be eligible to inherit. If the deceased hasn't left any surviving descendants, this partner will inherit the whole estate. Should there be surviving children, intestacy rules dictate that if the estate is worth more than £270,000, it will be divided between the living partner and any surviving children. Josh White added: 'Inheritance laws can get very complex and have regional differences. One rule in England and Wales may not automatically be valid in Scotland, too. 'Any uncertainties about the deceased's wishes can add unnecessary stress and confusion at an already difficult time. 'That is why it's so crucial to spend some extra time to get this important document right. A crystal-clear Will removes any doubt about how your estate should be distributed. 'Writing a Will with a professional will only cost a small amount and can protect your family from spending thousands on potential disputes and legal fees in the long run. 'Once your Will is written, don't just lock it away, but regularly update it if your own or your family members' circumstances change, for example through marriage, death or divorce. 'To prevent inheritance disputes further down the line, it is highly recommended to speak with an experienced solicitor. This is especially true if your situation is complex and involves business or foreign property.'
