One shopper took to Facebook to share the news that Tesco is selling Cadbury multipacks for just 75p until all stock is gone.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Kim Jayne Louise Banner shared pictures of the stacks of discounted chocolate treats.
She wrote: "75p in Tesco not sure if it's all shops."
One of the products slashed in price was the Cadbury's Santa Selection Box featuring five different chocolate bars and one bag of chocolate buttons.

The festive treat features one of each of the following bars: Crunchie, Dairy Milk, Fudge, Wispa, and Double Decker.
Usually, the box is £2.50 at Tesco and Ocado, £1.50 at Asda and £1.75 at Aldi.
Also included in the deal spotted at Tesco is a Malteaser multipack featuring Malteasers, a Twix, a Mars Bar, and a Milky Way all for 75p.
But, it is not only Tesco selling the festive item for a small price with other retailers also desperate to clear Christmas stock.

According to their websites, Waitrose is selling the 145g box for just £0.41, and Asda for £1.
But in the comments of the Facebook post, fellow bargain hunters have spotted the chocolate treats for much less

"39p in Aldi," one wrote.
"27p in Sainsbury's," another added.
"25p in Coop," a third said.
But, it seems that not everyone has been able to scoop the best bargains.
"Seriously where are people still seeing these in supermarkets?" one frustrated shopper said.
"These things are only in big stores with excess stock so definitely won’t be all stores, can never find things like this when they’re posted," another said.
"I live in a big city so things sell out too fast to be reduced like this."
Other Cadbury bargains have been spotted at Tesco for just 87p.
Meanwhile, Lidl has slashed the prices of a number of its chocolate treats with some scanning for just 20p.
Aero and Milkybar tubes, as well as Cadbury Selection packs, are among the chocolate treats being sold for the cut-down price.
Asda is also helping shoppers save money by selling boxes of Cadbury chocolates for just 50p.

Shops usually discount items at the end of the season to clear shelves for new products.
This means that availability can vary depending on stock levels at each store, and it's likely that such good deals are snapped up quickly.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
