A Sainsbury’s shopper has become the envy of bargain hunters everywhere after scoring a premium pizza for a ridiculously low price. The lucky customer, who shared his find on Reddit, snagged a Taste the Difference wood-fired pizza topped with spicy Italian pepperoni and roquito peppers for a mere 4p.
The pizza, which usually retails for £5, was a steal at its discounted price. The shopper, who goes by the username jim_buddy on Reddit, was initially skeptical about the price tag. “I didn’t think it would actually ring up that price, but lo and behold, 4p,” he wrote.
The post sparked a flurry of comments from fellow Reddit users, with some speculating that the low price was a deliberate move by a staff member who wanted the pizza for themselves. “Good chance the person with the yellow sticker printer had this one earmarked for themselves,” one commenter suggested.
However, jim_buddy quickly dispelled the conspiracy theory, explaining that the pizza was simply a mistake. “It was the last one on the shelf, it was in the normal place they keep them, not the discount section,” he clarified. “Also, the best before date is tomorrow. Definitely thinking it was a mistake.”
The incredible deal drew praise and amusement from other Reddit users. One commented, “I’d be listing this as a favourite achievement on a dating site, my CV, in my eulogy.” Another added, “That would be a win at ten times the price.”
The story serves as a reminder that even the most unlikely bargains can be found in the supermarket, particularly in the reduced sections. So, the next time you’re shopping, don’t forget to check the reduced shelves for hidden treasures like this 4p pizza.
