Asda's Tropical Paradise Fabric Softener usually retails for £2.48
Credit: Asda
It's usually priced at £2.38 for a 1.998L bottle, but is now reduced to just 65p in some stores.
Shoppers say it smells just like Lenor, but for a fraction of the cost – and they're rushing out to buy it.
One fan wrote: 'Wow, thank you!' while another said, 'This is such a great bargain.'
The find comes just days after another eagle-eyed shopper shared their mega savings spree at Asda.
Shoppers claimed to have picked up Fairy laundry pods for £1, big bottles of Lenor for 70p, and bottles of Asda's Pure Cotton Sensitive Fabric Softener for just 68p each, rather than the usual £2.48.
Posting to the same Facebook group, the bargain hunter wrote: 'I just picked these up in Asda,' along with a snap of their stacked trolley.
Fellow group members were left gobsmacked, with one writing: 'Wowsas, brilliant find!'
Fashion fans are running to Asda for 'amazing value' holiday jewellery - including must-have £3.50 claw clips
Another fumed: 'Bloody hell, never that cheap near me!'
'I wish this would happen to me lol, never does,' someone else said.
While another added: 'Some people are lucky!'
So if your laundry stash is running low, it's worth swinging by your local Asda.
Its worth bearing in mind prices and product availability differs between stores so you might want to call ahead to check if your local store is stocking this bargain buy.
While these low prices might seem too good to miss, it's always worth checking and comparing prices before diving in.
Just because something's on offer, it doesn't mean it's always the best deal.
There are loads of price comparison tools that can help make sure you're not overpaying.
Google Shopping lets you search and compare prices across the web just by typing in the product name or number.

Asda fined £640,000 for selling out of date food to shoppers
Trading Standards officers found 115 items, including some that were more than two weeks out of date, at two Asda stores in Cardiff. The supermarket giant faced four charges relating to the sale of out-of-date food items after food safety officers visited the stores on four occasions in 2024. A visit to the Leckwith store on January 17 of that year found 36 out of date items, including five tubs of spicy mayo dip seven days out of date. (Image: Gareth Fuller/PA Wire) A visit to the Pentwyn store in the Cardiff Gate retail park on March 25 found 25 outdated items, while another visit to the store a month later found 48 items, including some that were 12 days out of date. A second visit to the Leckwith store on May 8 found a further six out of date items. Asda was given a fine of £640,000 and ordered to pay £15,115 in costs and a £2,000 surcharge. Asda said the prosecution related to food safety breaches that took place last year, when a different date code checking process was in use. An updated process that had been in place since November 24 involved daily manual checks on all short-life products and twice-weekly checks on every long-life product. An Asda spokesman said: 'We regret that out-of-date food was found on sale at two of our Cardiff stores last year and accept that our usual high standards were not upheld. 'Since then, we have introduced a new date code checking process across all our stores, whereby every short-life product is checked daily so that customers can always buy the freshest products.' Asda recall A George at Asda product has been recalled from all stores across the UK, and anyone who has purchased it has been urged to 'stop using it immediately'.

Amazon axing popular freebie that helped customers ‘earn £100s' in just days and shoppers are furious
AMAZON is axing a popular freebie in days, and shoppers are furious. The major online retailer said its Receipts Program will end in the UK on August 1. 1 Currently, customers can upload receipts for products they bought from rival shops via the Amazon shopping panel, and earn money back. Shoppers earn 10p for each receipt they upload. Alternatively, they can upload 50 receipt pictures to get the maximum reward of £5. Panellists were alerted to the change via a notification in the app. The move has sparked fury among customers, with many taking to social media to complain. Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper said: "I'm gutted I get £7-8 a month from it and it all adds up. While another added: "Oh no! I've got £141 since I've been doing it. Don't get many surveys, some months I don't get any, so not worth keeping." And a third moaned: "Gutted, over £200 since I started doing it." It is not the first time the retail giant has made changes to this feature. Back in October, shoppers were left heartbroken after Amazon said shoppers would need to upload 50 receipts instead of 10 to get the £5 reward. Amazon 'hiking' prices ahead of Prime Day after shoppers claim company 'great savings' aren't real Panellists can still earn rewards through completing surveys for Amazon. The amount customers earn varies per survey and you can see the amount before choosing to complete the survey. The Sun has approached Amazon for comment. How does the Amazon shopper panel work? The shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon. Once you receive a notification, customers can download the app from the app store or the Google Play store. Before you join, you may be put on a waiting list and you will be sent an email when you can join. As well as uploading receipts to earn cash, users can also take part in surveys and enable ad verification for extra rewards. The amount you can earn per survey varies, but you will be able to see how much you can earn before you take part. Enrolling in ad verification - allowing Amazon to see the ads that appear on your phone - can earn you £2 per month. If you decide the app isn't for you, you can stop using it anytime. More ways to make money online There are plenty of other websites that pay you for completing surveys or other tasks. For example, Swagbucks has paid out millions globally and reward users for surveys, watching clips and browsing the web. Regular users report earning upwards of £300 a year for just 15 minutes of their time. Expect to earn around 50p a survey which will typically take up to 20 minutes. You can get your payouts either as PayPal cash or shopping vouchers. Elsewhere, Opinium is used by top firms for research. Surveys pay 50p on average and take around five minutes, you'll have to work up to £25 before you can get a payout. Get your money through cash with a bank transfer or gift vouchers. Quick ways to make cash Install an app Some apps will pay you to install other apps on your phone. Just by installing an app on your phone, you could earn £20 in online vouchers. By downloading Ipsos Media Cell, a consumer data tracking software, you will receive a £20 voucher by installing an app on your phone. You also have to fill in a quick survey. You will then get £10 each month that you keep the app installed on your phone. The app is owned by renowned research company IPSOS Mori. It's designed to get more information about how people consume media, what they watch and listen to and what devices they use. TaskRabbit specialises in DIY and other more physical tasks such as home repairs, cleaning and moving house. The app also runs a partnership with furniture store IKEA, where "taskers" get paid to assemble flat pack furniture for its customers, meaning a steady stream of work. Share deals and get paid If you find a good deal you could get paid for sharing it with others. Some sites give people vouchers for sharing the deals they find in stores and online. LatestDeals is a money-saving community in the UK and they hand out vouchers for people who share deals on its website. Members of LatestDeals earn points and Amazon vouchers, for sharing deals, vouchers, competitions and commenting and voting on deals. You have to get to a minimum of 5,000 points before you get a £5 Amazon voucher. There's a guide to how many points you can earn for different activities on the website. Earn cashback Cashback sites are becoming more and more popular as shoppers become more savvy. A cashback site will give you cash back when you spend money online. TopCashback and Quidco are two of the most popular and sometimes you can earn hundreds. The Quidco website states that their average member earns around £300 per year. When you're shopping, make sure you click through the websites to get some extra cash. Both have widgets you can download and add to your browser so you never forget. They are free to use but there are plus memberships that cost £5 a year and can give you a higher rate of cashback.
