Most shoppers love a bargain but a trip to the local Tesco store provided the 'best' bargain to date for one savvy grocery shopper. Reported by Birmingham Live, the experience was recorded in a popular Facebook bargain group.
Recalling the shopping trip, the poster said that they walked away from the store with six bags of sugar for just 1p each - total bill 6p. Fellow shoppers are now being urged to check what they buy as they could be walking away with a bargain.

Explaining, the Tesco shopper, said: "I get a few bargains over my time but I think today's one is the best. 2kg or vending sugar (bit like caster sugar) 1p a bag."
Vending sugar is described by Tate & Lyle as a product that "has been formulated to create a free-flowing product specifically designed for ease-of-use in a range of vending machines. Its specific properties allow for easy dispensing and lessen the risk of sticking or jamming, while its white crystal form remains pure in taste, retaining optimum sweetness".
The purchaser of the six bag haul continued: "Yep, 1p. There wasn’t a price on it so I asked the lady at the till. She scanned it and said 'well ... it’s a penny'. I said 'OK thanks', went back and cleared the shelf. Only had six bags there but I won’t have to buy sugar for me again this year. Happy days."
Proving the purchase, he then showed his receipt which did in fact show he managed to get six 2kg bags of sugar for just 6p in total. Other bargain hunters were amazed. One shopper said: "Awesome bargain, good on you for clearing the shelf, if it saves you money in the long run then why not?" Another added: "Ooo I’m a baker and this would be amazing! Never even seen this sugar in my Tesco so not holding out much hope that I’ll find it for 1p."
And a third bargain hunter added: "I need something like this to happen to me. I go through so much sugar. And it’s only me that’s using it!"
