As well as the ‘chunky’ option, there were also two-finger bars included in the money-saving deal – as well as the different flavour options[/caption]

The deal included four-packs of KitKat Chunkys, and nine-packs of the KitKat two finger option.
The latter included the original milk chocolate flavour, as well as variations including mocha, orange, mint, caramel and dark chocolate.
Tina was among the first to share the amazing deal, as she shared a picture of her KitKat haul on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.
“Packs of Kitkat only £1 a pack,” she wrote.
“Also chunky ones were £1 – also from Sainsbury’s with nectar card.”
In response, Ian shared a picture of his haul, all stacked up in what appeared to be some kind of pantry or food storage area.
“I bought 200 bars,” he admitted.
“Not been this cheap since Covid!”
In response to another comment, Ian revealed: “I got 160 4 finger and 40 chunky”.
“Great buy – I’ve not seen them for £1 for a long time,” one person commented.
“Now this is KitKat bundle! Love it!” another said.
“I was gonna go and get £100 worth but bottled it,” a third sighed.
“Someone’s got a KitKat fetish!” someone else wrote.
“The caramel ones are delicious,” another raved.
“I bought 8 packs on Thursday – 4 packs for my family and 4 for an elderly neighbour who has a sweet tooth,” someone else revealed.
“I got a few yesterday – very good price! Enjoy!” another wrote.
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go’s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they’ve found on the cheap, including food finds.
“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket’s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
While someone else admitted they “got every flavour”, others insisted they wouldn’t be able to resist if they stocked up to that level.
“If I did this I don’t like to consider how many KitKats I would consume a day!” one laughed.
“If I bought that many packets I’d just end up eating them all,” another wrote.
“To be honest I wish I had got more,” a third commented.
“Going tomorrow so hoping they still on the offer as they are good for the pack ups.
“Not seen them at this price for a long, long time.”
