Not sure who is more happy me or my lil ones.' The post quickly caused a stir on social media, with excited snack fans flocking to the comments to share their thoughts and tag friends. One user said: 'Great find. Wish they would do it online.' Another wrote: 'I need to pop to Sainsbury's.' Advertisement A third added: 'Wish they would do this all the time.' Others simply tagged their mates in the post, encouraging them to dash to their local branch while stocks last. Some joked that they were planning a detour on their way home to see if the bargain crisps were still available. The rare flavour first launched in January and seems to be making a surprise return — this time at a price that's hard to beat. Advertisement Alongside the 25p Pringles, shoppers are also buzzing over the arrival of a brand new Kinder bar. Although Kinder has released many variations over the years, this latest addition is already causing excitement among fans of the popular chocolate brand. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains It's not just the low price that's grabbing attention — it's also the mystery around the flavours. Earlier this year, Pringles launched a Super Mario-themed mystery crisp, sparking debate online about what it actually tastes like. Advertisement One person guessed: "Yoshi flavoured." Another quipped: "It's going to be mushroom!" A third chimed in: "Magic Mushroom flavour?" The official flavour hasn't been confirmed by Pringles, leaving it up to fans to figure it out. Advertisement Many say it tastes like pizza, while others think it's more like spaghetti or even ketchup. A YouTube reviewer claimed the taste was 'a mix of ketchup, pizza and spaghetti in Mario style', which would make sense given the Italian roots of the iconic Nintendo character. This isn't the first time Pringles has teased shoppers with mystery flavours. Past limited-edition releases have included Southern Fried Chicken, Pickle, and even Carbonara. Advertisement So if you're craving something new, or just after a great deal, it might be worth heading to your nearest Sainsbury's. But be quick, because with prices like this, they won't stay on shelves for long. How to save money on your supermarket shop THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too. Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.

The curious crisps have been spotted at Sainsbury's stores across the UK, where eagle-eyed shoppers have clocked the Super Mario-themed 'Mystery Flavour' 165g cans being cleared from shelves in a flash. 3 A photo of the discounted snack was shared on Facebook Credit: Facebook 3 Sparking a flurry of comments from snack fans desperate to uncover the flavour Credit: Facebook A photo of the discounted snack was shared on Facebook, sparking a flurry of comments from snack fans desperate to uncover the flavour. One user wrote: 'I would love to know the flavour please, thanks.' Speculation has run wild online, with people offering their best guesses. "My partner had them, said they tasted like salt and vinegar,' one person commented. Another added: 'Bit spicy – should've read the ingredients on the box. "Nothing to go wild about.' Others reckoned the crisps were meant to mimic classic Italian flavours, with one writing: 'They're supposed to be like a pepperoni pizza flavour but they weren't nice,' while another suggested: 'I think they are spicy meatball flavour.' One fan said: 'They mostly taste pickled onion flavour,' and another chimed in: 'I believe they're random flavours – hence the mystery.' The Mario-themed cans are part of a special Pringles line featuring multiple mystery flavours – and Pringles isn't spilling the beans just yet. Fans have been left to rely on their own taste buds, with theories ranging from ketchup and spaghetti to 'Magic Mushroom' flavour, a cheeky nod to the iconic Nintendo game. The mystery surrounding these crisps has sparked plenty of debate online, with many fans expressing their excitement over the flavour hunt. One Facebook user even joked: 'I can't wait to open one and see if it tastes like the power-ups Mario collects!' It's not the first time Pringles has teased taste buds with a mystery range. Previous surprise flavours have included carbonara, Southern Fried Chicken, and Pickle – each of which garnered mixed reactions from shoppers. This latest release seems to have struck a chord with fans, though, who are eager to get their hands on the elusive taste. For those intrigued by the Mario connection, it's clear that the theme has added an extra layer of excitement to this mystery. With Super Mario's popularity ever-growing, it's no wonder that fans are flocking to the supermarket to get their hands on the latest Pringles craze. In the midst of this snack craze, Pringles continues to dominate the crisp world with their bold experiments and limited-edition offerings. Whether it's a mysterious flavour or a nod to a beloved gaming character, the brand knows how to keep fans guessing. And with Doritos also hinting at a major shake-up – possibly ditching their iconic triangle shape for a square – it seems the crisp aisle is full of surprises this month.
