A shopper has uncovered the "bargain of the year" involving a pack of Coca-Cola cans at Morrisons in Newtown.

It has been a tough few months for fans of the popular soft drink, with the company revealing in September it had discontinued Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda.

The decision, Coca-Cola said, came as a result of "changing consumer taste preferences".

But a shopper in Newtown has found a deal on a pack of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar cans that may cheer fans up.

Newtown shopper finds "bargain of the year" in Morrisons

The local shopper took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK on Saturday (November 30) after discovering what she described as the "bargain of the year" in Morrisons, Newtown.

Pictures showed an 8-pack of Coca-Cola Zero cans (although the post said it was a 24-pack) on sale for 43p down from £4.25, a whopping nearly 90% off.

Fellow shoppers took to the Facebook post to comment on the "brilliant" Morrisons bargain.

One person said: "Lucky you well done. I wish they did this near me as I live on this stuff lol."

Another group member added: "Why do I never find bargains like this."

While a third person commented: "Always baffles me why staff don’t take deals like this."

Another shopper said they had also snapped the same 43p deal from the Newtown Morrisons.

Morrisons has been contact for comment on whether or not this offer is available in other UK stores.

Bargain hunters on Facebook said it wasn't just Morrisons where you could find heavily discounted deals like this one.

This person said: "Had similar in Tescos not long ago, £1.70 for 18 7up cans (not quite as good at £0.43 but still pretty good).

"Seems to be a lot of boxes of cans heavily reduced atm (at least in my Tescos)."
