ASDA shoppers have spotted a "ridiculous" 2p buy which they praised as the "best bargain ever".
The supermarket giant has slashed the price of the Peter Rabbit 3 Piece Cutlery set - and fans can't believe their eyes.
The cutlery set, usually sold for £4, is ideal for children and is a popular item over the Easter period.
An eagle-eyed customer spotted the deal and shared it on the Facebook group "Extreme Couponing and Bargains" with the caption: "Best bargain ever from Asda."
Many were surprised to see the item at such a low price and one commented: "Right place right time xxx."
Another Facebook user added: "Items reduced to 2pm aren't meant to be sold so you've got lucky."

Someone else added: "I mean that's ridiculous - from the supermarket (person who bought it - fair play!!!) But why sell for 2p.
"They could have donated it. Raffled it with staff. It's obscene that a supermarket can manage their margins like this. Even giving it to a women's refuge or nursery. Ya know."
Other users on the Facebook group said they never spot similar deals in their local supermarkets, as one wrote: "We never see things like this at this price in our Asda."
Another commented: "I always miss the good bargains."
Last month, Asda shoppers went wild for a bargain vacuum cleaner that was reduced from £49 to just £4.90.
After a shopper posted the item on the Facebook group, many commented, tagging their friends and sharing their reactions to the cheap deal.
One person said: "This is the best hoover ever!" Another added: "It's a beast."
You can find your nearest Asda by entering your postcode into the store locator tool on the website.
While some deals may seem hard to beat, we always recommend shopping around to find the best prices.
You can use the Google Shopping search tool or websites such as pricespy.co.uk which lets you compare products and their prices.
When finding deals online, such as on social media groups like the Extreme Couponing one, you should be aware that the deals might not apply to all branches.
Usually, individual stores tend to reduce items like this when they want to clear excess stock - and this means you need to be quick in spotting and bagging the deal.
It is always worth calling your local store before you visit it to ensure the deal is available there and avoid being disappointed.
