Informing fellow shoppers about the epic deal, one anonymous person took to Facebook after snapping up the viral Comfort Scent Booster Elixir for the bargain price.
Elsewhere, such as Waitrose, the laundry must-have will set you back an eye-watering £4 - so you really are making huge savings.
Perfect for both hot and cold cycles, the elixir leaves no residue - and it comes in a range of fabulous scents.
Morrison customers can snap up this purse-friendly product in Summer Bouquet and First Blooms, and the elixir promises to offer ''10x more fragrance'' to keep your clothes smelling fantastic.
With a deal that's too good to sleep on, the anonymous shopper got their hands on a whopping four boxes of the bargain - each containing eight bottles, or 32 in total.
Showing off their monster haul on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the customer said: ''Thanks to all who posted, got my 45p bargain from Morrisons.''
The post, uploaded less than a day ago, has already racked up a whopping 253 likes and 150 comments.
But while the shopper may have saved a fortune, not everyone was as happy about them ''clearing the shelves''.
Many flocked to comments to slam the shopper, with one writing: ''Looks like you got more than a 45p bargain. Do people really go and buy this many items?
''I can see why you would be anonymous.''

Someone else agreed, writing: ''I'm all for times are hard but to put a post up saying bargain when the shelves have been cleared baffles me as its not in every store its only worth putting on if there is some left for others.''
A third chimed in: ''No wonder nothing left for me today when I went in Morrisons to get some.''
A bargain hunter added: ''Surprised not said 2 per customer.''
The impact of using plastic cleaning products
Laura Harnett, founder of eco cleaning brand, Seep, said: 'Many people have switched to eco friendly cleaning sprays and detergents but aren't aware that cleaning tools (such as green and yellow sponges and microfibre cloths) are made of plastic and release microplastics every time they are used.
"Microplastic is a huge concern as they are released into our water every time a plastic sponge or cloth is used to wash up or is rinsed out.
'A yellow and green plastic sponge lasts approximately one month and when you see the green part go bobbly that's all of the microplastic coming out of it." 600 million plastic household items end up in landfill every year
13 million tonnes of plastic lead into our oceans each year
1.1 million marine animals die each year as they swallow, get strangled or are suffocated by plastic
Luckily for the customer, not everyone was coming after them.
One hit back at all those slamming the shopper and wrote: ''I absolutely love when i see people in the comments complaining about how many she bought.
''I'm sorry but the price of fabric softeners (a good one) nowadays.
''If I would have seen that deal in my local shop I would have done exactly the same thing.

Halifax to make huge change to bank account used by thousands and it'll reward them with free cash
You'll have to meet one rule to qualify TAKING INTEREST Halifax to make huge change to bank account used by thousands and it'll reward them with free cash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HALIFAX is making a huge change to a popular bank account used by thousands of customers. The retail bank is introducing credit interest on Reward Current Account balances from October 1. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Reward Current Account comes with a £3 monthly fee, which is waived if you deposit at least £1,500 each month Credit: Getty This update means account holders can now earn cash rewards simply by maintaining a balance in their account. Halifax will pay interest on balances between £1 and £5,000, with two tiers of rates available. You'll earn 1% AER on balances between £1 and £3,999.99, while balances between £4,000 and £5,000 will attract a higher rate of 3% AER. For example, if you kept £2,000 in the account at all times, you would earn £30 in interest per year at the 1.5% AER. Meanwhile, if you kept £4,500 in the account, you would earn £60 on the first £4,000, with 1.5% AER applied. The remaining £500 would earn 3% AER, giving £15 in interest. In total, you would earn £75 per year. However, you won't earn any interest on balances above £5,000. The Reward Current Account carries a £3 monthly fee, which is waived if you deposit at least £1,500 each month. To qualify for credit interest payments from October, you'll also need to set up and pay out two separate direct debits each month in order to access the benefits. The Reward Current Account offers additional benefits, including fee-free spending abroad. Customers can also earn up to 15% cashback at selected retailers through Halifax's Cashback Extras programme. Switch bank accounts for free perks Halifax isn't the only bank offering credit interest on account deposits. Nationwide's FlexDirect account offers 5% APR on balances up to £1,500, while Santander's Edge Up account pays 2.5% on balances up to £25,000. The average bank customer has around £10,000 in savings, according to Raisin. With this in mind the average customer could still actually earn more interest by shopping around elsewhere. If your savings account pays less than the current inflation rate of 3.6%, it's time to look for a better deal. Plus, the Bank of England is expected to cut its base rate from 4.25% to 4% next week, which could make savings rates even lower. The base rate affects how much banks pay savers - when it drops, interest on savings usually goes down too. How this affects your savings depends on the type of account you have. Fixed-rate accounts won't change, but easy-access accounts can see their rates drop at any time. What types of savings accounts are available? THERE are four types of savings accounts: fixed, notice, easy access, and regular savers. Separately, there are ISAs or individual savings accounts which allow individuals to save up to £20,000 a year tax-free. But we've rounded up the main types of conventional savings accounts below. FIXED-RATE A fixed-rate savings account or fixed-rate bond offers some of the highest interest rates but comes at the cost of being unable to withdraw your cash within the agreed term. This means that your money is locked in, so even if interest rates increase you are unable to move your money and switch to a better account. Some providers give the option to withdraw, but it comes with a hefty fee. NOTICE Notice accounts offer slightly lower rates in exchange for more flexibility when accessing your cash. These accounts don't lock your cash away for as long as a typical fixed bond account. You'll need to give advance notice to your bank - up to 180 days in some cases - before you can make a withdrawal or you'll lose the interest. EASY-ACCESS An easy-access account does what it says on the tin and usually allows unlimited cash withdrawals. These accounts tend to offer lower returns, but they are a good option if you want the freedom to move your money without being charged a penalty fee. REGULAR SAVER These accounts pay some of the best returns as long as you pay in a set amount each month. You'll usually need to hold a current account with providers to access the best rates. However, if you have a lot of money to save, these accounts often come with monthly deposit limits. To help you get the best returns, we've listed the top savings rates for each account type below. What's on offer? If you're looking for a savings account without withdrawal limitations, then you'll want to opt for an easy-access saver. These do what they say on the tin and usually allow for unlimited cash withdrawals. The best easy access savings account available is from Cahoot, which pays 5% - and you only need to pay a minimum of £1 to set it up. This means that if you were to save £1,000 in this account, you would earn £50 a year in interest. Meanwhile, Oxbury Bank's easy access account offers customers 4.61% back on savings worth £1 or more. If you're okay with being less flexible about withdrawals, a top notice account could be a great option. These accounts offer better rates than easy-access accounts but still let you access your money more flexibly than a a fixed-bond. RCI Bank UK's 95 day notice account offers savers 4.7% back with a minimum £1,000 deposit, for example. This means that if you were to save £1,000 in this account, you would earn £47 a year in interest. Meanwhile, Oxbury Bank's 120-day notice account offers 4.65%, requiring a minimum deposit of £1,000. If you want to lock your money away and keep the same savings rate for a set time, a fixed bond is a good choice. The best fixed rate currently offered is Castle Community Bank's one-year fixed bond, which pays 4.52%, requiring a minimum deposit of £1,000. Meanwhile, GB Bank's one-year fixed bond offers 4.5% back on a deposit of £1 or more. This means that if you were to save £1,000 in this account, you would earn £45 a year in interest. If you want to build a habit of saving a set amount of money each month, a regular savings account could pay you dividends. Principality Building Society's Six Month Regular Saver offers 7.5% interest on savings. It allows customers to save between £1 and £200 a month. Save in the maximum, and you'll earn 25.81 in interest. While regular savings accounts look attractive due to the high interest rates on offer, they are not right for all savers. You can't use a regular savings account to earn interest on a lump sum. The amount you can save into the account each month will be limited, typically to somewhere between £200 and £500. Therefore, if you have more to save, it would be wise to consider one of the other accounts mentioned above.
