MARKS and Spencer are renowned for their Percy Pigs – and have even expanded into branded clothing, gifts and accessories.
The sweets, launched in 1993, are said to be so popular that 271 bags are sold every minute.
With them flying off the shelves, it's unsurprising that store bosses rarely have to pop yellow stickers on the treats.
So one savvy mum couldn't believe her luck when she spotted some Percy Pigs on offer for just 37p a bag.
Laura, from Scotland, regularly shares her organising tips and food hauls with fans on TikTok – @unorganisedmummy – as she "tries to get her backside in gear".
She said people have been "raving" about the M&S Food Hall recently so she had to "get in on the action" and pay it a visit.
Posting on TikTok, Laura added: "Marks and Spencer has got lots of lovely low calorie snacks and at not a bad price.
"I do love a wee bargain."
After popping chocolate rice cakes, reduced pancakes and popcorn into her trolley, Laura turned to the Percy Pig aisle.
Here, she spotted Percy Pig globetrotting fruit gums, usually £1.75 a pack, on offer – and quickly grabbed five bags.

Laura said: "Am I hell going to pass up Percy Pigs for 37p. And you can bet your boots I got more of those sweeties."
We told earlier how a food enthusiast visited one of the biggest Marks & Spencers in the UK and dubbed it “heaven”.
Becky Bootana – who regularly shared videos of her shopping trips online – was left flabbergasted by the scale of the store.
One standout from her trip was an entire aisle dedicated to Percy Pig and his friends.
There were iconic Percy Pig sweets, biscuits, cake mixes and disposable cutlery to have a party in the character’s honour.
