Morrisons is flogging Lugg Venus Cabin Bags for just £8 - and they meet the size requirements on Ryanair flights.
One savvy shopper snapped up the deal and shared their find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
The suitcase comes with detachable wheels to help squeeze into Ryanair's 40cm x 20cm x25cm limit.
"Look at these!" one wrote, tagging a friend.
"Wait, what? The wheels come off? I bought this last week and didn't realise," a second joked.
"Wow that's a great price. I might nip there later," a third added.
Although not everyone is sold, one person wrote: "Was going to get one the other day but they are absolutely tiny. You'd fit more in a holdall."
They added that they struggled to remove the wheels, too.
Another added: "Best off for children, rather than carry on. I bought one last week, I'm 5'3 and the handle isn't long enough to pull along."
All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you.

All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee.
Anyone wanting to bring another bag, you'll need to upgrade and pay extra for priority and two cabin bags or checked baggage.
Amazon is also selling a Ryanair-approved holdall for just £13.29.
The Narwey carry on comes in a range of colours, including black, grey, purple, black and pink and comes with a padded shoulder strap for comfort.
For those after check in luggage, Dunelm is selling a tough shell, metallic large suitcase for £45.
And for short breaks or business trips, Sports Direct is selling a Slazenger lightweight cabin case for £14.99.
The case has extendable sizing, plenty of pockets and even comes with a padlock.
It's one of the cheapest branded cabin bags we've seen, down by a whopping £30.
However it will have to be checked in as hold luggage for RyanAir, Jet2 and EasyJet.

Little-known rule in holiday hotspot could see Brits get slapped with £421 fines

Brits heading on summer holidays to the likes of Spain and Italy are being warned of a little-known rule that could actually see them face hefty fines in popular holiday hotspots If you're planning a summer holiday abroad, then you may want to consider packing an extra beach or poolside cover-up in your suitcase - or you could face a hefty fine. That's because over in Italy, tourists and locals are banned from wearing swimwear outside of beaches and pools. In holiday hotspots such as the Amalfi Coast and specifically Sorrento, anyone caught breaking this rule could end up having to pay a charge. ‌ Travel experts at have warned: "Despite the sunny weather, Italy has banned the wearing of swimwear outside of beaches and pools in a bid to uphold public decency and respect for locals. In the popular destinations of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, tourists caught breaking this rule can face fines of up to €500." ‌ It's worth noting that the rules also apply to anyone walking around the town topless. Of course, there are exceptions; for example, if you're at a beachclub or staying in a hotel with direct beach access, you're not going to be fined as you make your way back to your cabana or your room. The measures are in place for public spaces, and predominantly aimed at tourists who are wandering into the town and going to shops and restaurants without changing out of their swimwear. The rules aren't particularly new; in Sorrento, the swimwear ban has been in place since 2022. At the time, the town's then Mayor Coppola said the crackdown came because people walking around in bikinis or topless were "seen by the majority of people as contrary to decorum and to the decency that characterises civilised cohabitation". He added: "The continuation of this situation, as well as causing discomfort and unease in the resident population and among visitors, could lead to a negative judgment on the quality of life in our town, with consequences for its image and for tourism." It's not just in Italy where these types of regulations are in force. In the likes of Barcelona, people are also asked to stick to the beach if they want to wander around in swimwear, with fines of approximately £260 for rule-breakers. Meanwhile the island of Majorca also requests that people stick to beaches and pools, with fines of up to £500 for those who flout the regulations. Those aren't the only beach rules that Brits heading on Spain holidays should take note of. The Tiger team added: "In popular areas of Spain like Barcelona and Costa Blanca, tourists can now be fined €250 for reserving sunbeds, meaning waking up early to bag a spot for you and the family is no longer allowed. This rule was introduced following numerous complaints about sunbeds being reserved for hours with no one in sight." The rules came into force last year in a move to stop beachgoers from reserving spots with towels and sunbeds, only to leave them unoccupied for hours at a time. On already-crowded beaches, this only leaves others having to fight for space or giving up.

I took my family to the new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey with rides and character meets – here's how to get free entry

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHO lives in a pineapple under the sea? Not SpongeBob SquarePants any more. The yellow cartoon character has a new home on Turkey's southern coast at the impressive Land Of Legends theme park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The fab new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey 5 Have endless fun at Antalya's Nickelodeon Hotel Credit: Supplied 5 Unwind in style at the Rixos Premium Belek Credit: Supplied He's brought along all his pals to its new Nickelodeon Land — and I was one of the first there to check them out. The themed area neighbours Adventure Land and the exotic Aqua Land in the vast entertainment complex in Antalya. Nickelodeon Land consists of three areas — the underwater Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants; intergalactic Star Trek: Wild Galaxy, based on Star Trek: Prodigy; and the open-air Adventure Bay from PAW Patrol. And just steps away is a plush new Nickelodeon hotel, featuring 238 themed bedrooms and its own waterpark-like outdoor pool where you can get 'slimed' for real, Nickelodeon style. Sounds totally retro, right? There's a definite nod to the nostalgia of 90s Nickelodeon. Think Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as little ones' modern favourites, such as Chase from Paw Patrol, Dora The Explorer and Nickelodeon's cartoon reboot of Star Trek. I got stuck into the action at Bikini Bottom, my favourite area, which transports visitors to a neon, SpongeBob-themed underwater landscape. The standout attraction is the Fiery Fist O'Fun, a reference to a classic SpongeBob episode. The ride is like a ferris wheel on steroids, fast-paced enough to make your stomach drop — in the best way. But if that is not your style, take a spin on the Jellyfish Jam swings. New Nickelodeon land to open in Brit-loved holiday hotspot next year - with Paw Patrol rides and Spongebob attractions Or you can pootle around the land in overhead blimps, dubbed Sandy's Rockets. Plankton's Plunge is another must for thrill-seekers. As the name suggests, it drops you from a squeamishly scary height. Then there's the Crazy Carnival Ride, where you can battle against your family in a virtual shoot-out. Aside from the rides, my highlight had to be meeting the chipper yellow sponge himself. At various points in the day, each of the characters pop up for meet-and-greet sessions, so you can snap a picture with Squidward or pose with Patrick. Giant pineapple Meanwhile, Chase and the gang from Paw Patrol can be found hanging out at Adventure Bay, where rides are aimed at the littlest of adventurers. It's not just about the kids, though. There's plenty of spaces that even Mum and Dad will enjoy. The Snick Lounge, a games room and sports bar, hosts live music where you can bop away while enjoying a tasty cocktail. For a proper place to unwind, head to the luscious Anjana Spa which is worlds away from the neon orange and splat motifs that adorn the rest of the hotel floors above. Although, you may spot SpongeBob in subtle murals dotted around the space, donning his very own robe and head towel, or striking a yoga pose. There are even more character nods across the main Nickelodeon Hotel, where the rooms are as comfortable as they are vibrant. 5 Wild Galaxy is out of this world 5 Emily Downes meets SpongeBob at the new theme park Each floor is themed around a character — think jungle motifs for Dora The Explorer and industrial pipes for the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If all the Nickelodeon colours get too much, though, hotel guests can enjoy free transfers to Rixos Premium Belek, a sister hotel down the road that has its own private beach as well as pools, restaurants and bars. Likewise, any guests staying at a Rixos property in Antalya can enjoy free and unlimited access to The Land Of Legends, including the new Nickelodeon Land, during their stay. I was staying in a SpongeBob suite where a giant pineapple housed all the drinks and snacks I could dream of. After a tiring day on the roller-coasters, I would sink into the plush bedding and unwind with the TV (which, of course, has access to all your favourite Nick shows). Even SpongeBob would be impressed with this place.
