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.

Links House has teamed up with Highland Aviation for the new one-hour plane trip from Dornoch airstrip aboard a Piper Cherokee Warrior II plane. During the flight, guests will be given the opportunity to see the stunning coastline and North Highland landscapes from above, some of which features in the famous NC500 road route.

The UNESCO Flow Country, which is the UK's newest natural World Heritage Site and was named one of the best places in the world by the New York Times, is another stunning spot to see on the journey. And Sandwood Bay, recently picked out as one of the UK's best beaches, can also be seen from the sky.

Lesser-known national park has turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs and no crowds

Brits looking for a postcard-perfect spot for their next holiday may want to check out the breathtaking destination that's been proving a hit with the social media crowd Brits planning their next adventures on France holidays may want to bookmark a breathtaking national park that's home to fjords full of crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs and almost no crowds. ‌ The Calanques National Park in France looks like something out of a storybook thanks to the turquoise waters that make up the landscape, with a range of quiet sandy and pebbled beaches lining its shores. The region can only be reached by boat or on foot, meaning that it's a lot quieter than other French hotspots as there are smaller crowds of visitors who flock to the area. ‌ The clear waters mean you can get a great look at what's been described as an "underwater garden" thanks to the diverse array of plants and wildlife that reside there, including the likes of octopuses, sea breams and anemones. (Just keep an eye out for urchins!). It's one of those beautiful areas that rivals the likes of Europe's coolest seaside town that's just three hours from the UK. ‌ READ MORE: Gorgeous UK beach is 'hidden gem' with no tourists that 'goes under the radar' It's therefore no surprise that the Calanques have become increasingly popular with the social media crowd, who have been tempted by its postcard-worthy landscapes. The good news is that it's still relatively quiet compared to plenty of other hotspots because it's not as easily accessible, so even with the influx of tourists it's easy to find plenty of peaceful spots. One of the best ways to explore the region is by boat, so you can leisurely make your way along those crystal-clear waters and take in the dramatic scenery. In fact, an increasing number of holidaymakers are opting for boat trips to explore Europe's hidden gems. According to recent data from SamBoat, bookings via its UK site rose by 75% last year, with most Brits opting for day trips as part of their travel plans. Of those, 89% of boats were rented without a skipper, with prices around £340 a day proving appealing for families or groups of friends wanting a memorable day out. As for the Calanques, these remain a firm favourite with those who love to experience destinations off the beaten track. The SamBoat insiders explained: "Swap the busy city streets for sea cliffs if heading to Marseille and take a day trip to the Massif des Calanques, a dramatic stretch of limestone coves and turquoise waters nestled between Marseille and Cassis. "Only accessible by boat or on foot, these secluded inlets offer wild swimming, snorkelling, and sunbathing far from the crowds. Hiring your own boat for the day from the Old Port is a great option, offering total flexibility for you to explore at your own pace." For Brits, Marseille is the best destination to visit if you're planning to head to the Calanques. There are plenty of direct flights with the likes of easyJet and Ryanair with a flight time of just under two hours, and then it's approximately a 35-minute drive to the national park. Alternatively you could get the Eurostar from London to Paris and then change on a train to Marseille in France, with the total journey time being around seven hours.
