The announcement sent fans wild, with one excited shopper commenting: 'That's cheap.'
Another wrote: 'Time to stock up for work.'
A third joked: 'Sorry, no way I'd share,' while others tagged their mates to spread the word.
Normally priced at more than triple that, the discount is seen as the perfect excuse to load up the cupboards – whether it's for the kids, the office, or a late-night treat.
Some of the bags spotted include fan-favourites like Giant Strawberries and Supermix – both popular choices among sweet-toothed Brits.
Some shoppers are even turning to social media to show off their haul, with one uploading a photo of their trolley packed full of sweets, captioned: 'Don't judge me.'
The sweet offer follows more good news for Haribo lovers.
The brand recently launched a brand new Berry Clouds flavour, made up of triple-layer foam gummi sweets in fun, cloud-like shapes and flavours like blueberry, wildberry and strawberry.

Elisa Fontana, Haribo's Director of Marketing, said: 'We are pleased to present this exciting new innovation and product launch that further strengthens our support to our retail partners.
"Berry Clouds was developed in direct response to consumer feedback.'
Punters have praised the new flavour. 'These are banging,' one fan raved, while another added: 'I need to try these!'
Haribo's recent push for innovation started in 2020 and has already earned major awards, including the US Consumer Survey of Product Innovation in 2022.
There's more magic in store for fans, too.
The sweet brand has dropped limited-edition Harry Potter gummies at Lidl – and they're proving just as popular.
At only £1.39, the packs feature flavours inspired by the wizarding world, including Butterbeer, green apple from the Forbidden Forest and Dumbledore's favourite lemon drops.
The themed sweets come shaped like characters, creatures and symbols from the beloved books, making them a hit with both kids and grown-up fans.
Meanwhile, Haribo has also just opened its first stand-alone store in Scotland.
The shop, located in Glasgow's Silverburn Shopping Centre, is the brand's 12th in the UK and offers more than 30 sweet varieties from both HARIBO and MAOAM.
Visitors can build their own mix from a giant Pick Your Mix station, buy exclusive global flavours, and even snap selfies with fun photo ops inside the colourful shop.
Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail at Haribo UK, said: 'We're so excited to be opening our first HARIBO retail store in Scotland.'
With bargain share bags, new flavours, themed sweets, and a shiny new shop, it's a good time to be a Haribo fan.

Amazon slashes 'brilliant' video doorbell to £28.99 in limited-time deal
The Blink Doorbell camera is currently £28.99 - down from £49.99 for a limited time Video doorbells have become more affordable and highly efficient, serving as a security camera for the home while Brits are not around. For those seeking a bargain without wanting to commit fully, Amazon has an offer that might pique interest. The Blink Doorbell camera is currently priced at £28.99, reduced from £49.99 for a limited period - a deal well worth considering at this price point. The device enables shoppers to answer their door from anywhere using their smartphone, thanks to its 1080p HD day and infrared night video capabilities, along with two-way audio. Blink boasts of long-lasting battery life, customised alerts, and privacy settings. For those concerned about installation, it can be set up within minutes using the two included AA lithium batteries and then connected to Wi-Fi via the app. The newly designed internal battery seal also offers an IP54 weather resistance rating to withstand the unpredictable British weather. Unlike Ring, Blink allows users to store clips and videos on a separate device without a subscription, although a subscription option is available for purchase. Grab the Blink video doorbell for £28.99 £49.99 £28.99 Amazon GET DEAL Product Description For those wanting some alternatives, there's the Ring Battery Video Doorbell for £79.99. It comes with extremely quick set-up within five minutes and high-definition video recording. There's also the Arlo video doorbell that comes in for a slightly more expensive £95.99 - and it comes with 2K cameras and person/package detection. Customers are singing the praises of the Blink doorbell in their reviews. One buyer commented: "Now, I'm all for keeping an eye on the doorstep, especially with the little ones running about. This Blink Video Doorbell does just the trick, and it doesn't need any wires, which is a bonus for those of us who aren't keen on DIY. "Setting it up was fairly straightforward, though it took a few tries to get the hang of it. First, you pop in the batteries and connect the Sync Module 2 to your Wi-Fi. Then, you download the Blink app, create an account, and add the doorbell and module. The app guides you through the rest, which is basically scanning QR codes and following on-screen instructions. "The picture quality is decent, even in the evenings. I can clearly see who's at the door, even if they're lurking in the shadows. The two-way talk feature is handy too – I can tell the postie where to leave a parcel, or have a quick chat with the neighbours without having to open the door." Nevertheless, some customers have raised concerns about battery longevity. One purchaser noted: "Great piece of kit that works really well with the other blink products I have, as well as Alexa. "My issue is battery life. I have had it for two months and four days, and I am about to change the batteries for the second time. I'm not sure if this is just mine, but it is slightly annoying. The listing says long battery life, but it really isn't."

New EV chargers for anyone without a driveway as major trial hits parts of UK
For years, Brits who don't have a driveway have been forced to pay sky-high prices at public charging stations to keep their electric vehicles (EVs) running — but a new trial is about to change that In a huge victory for electric vehicle (EV) owners, Brits in certain parts of the UK will soon be able to charge their cars at home even if they don't have a driveway. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council has approved a cross-pavement charging trial, with the aim of helping EV owners who don't have access to off-street parking. The system involves installing cable channels, known as gullies, beneath the pavements of residential streets. These gullies allow people to run a charging cable across the pavement in a safe and unobtrusive way, making it possible to charge EVs using a home electricity supply. The system is intended for people who live in terraced housing or properties with no driveway — a situation that currently makes at-home vehicle charging difficult. Having been approved by BCP Council, the trial is set to begin sometime in the near future, with the possibility of being expanded to more areas if successful. While residents will be required to cover the cost of installing a gully and charging socket, some of that expense may be reduced through government support. The idea is part of the government's wider efforts to increase EV uptake and infrastructure, as well as expanding access to reliable, affordable EV charging. Local authorities in Devon and Suffolk are also piloting similar schemes, supported by guidance from the Department for Transport. Andy Hadley, BCP Council's portfolio holder for environment, said: "Charging gullies could make owning an electric vehicle a more attractive option for residents that do not have off-street parking. This is exactly the sort of innovative solution that residents have been asking us to provide and is an important part of our wider EV strategy. In addition to making car at-home charging more accessible, we are committed to rolling out more convenient public charging points." The idea reflects a growing push to ensure fairer access to EV technology, particularly in densely populated urban areas. The government identified charging infrastructure as one of the key barriers to EV adoption. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said Labour is making it "easier and cheaper" to own an EV. She continued: "We know access to charging is a barrier for people thinking of making the switch, and we are tackling that head-on so that everyone — whether or not they have a driveway – can access the benefits of going electric." The news comes as a new £63 million round of government funding looks set to accelerate Britain's EV revolution, including a £25 million scheme for local authorities focused on improving access to at-home charging for households without off-street parking. This includes the introduction of cross-pavement charging technology, which enables families to tap into cheaper domestic electricity rates, potentially saving them up to £1,500 a year in comparison to running an ICE vehicle. BCP Council discussed the plans in more detail on Wednesday, July 16, voting unanimously in favour of the paper and recommendations they need to bring to council to implement the cross-pavement EV charging trial. The Bill was presented and proposed by Councillor Andy Hadley and seconded by Councillor Richard Burton. Mr Hadley explained that when they previously took the EV charging strategy to council in January 2024, they noted 'a real disparity between the position of somebody who's got a driveway and the ability to charge a car on their own drive, from their own domestic supply, at minimal cost, and people who don't have a driveway and have to use the public infrastructure — the cost per kW is significantly more'. He also laid out the situation regarding the charging infrastructure currently in place in the borough. They have 110 high-capacity public charging devices with 220 sockets, mainly in car parks, and are close to introducing a further 500 locations with 1,000 low-speed (7kW) sockets in residential areas for overnight charging. If the pilot scheme is deemed a success, similar pavement gully systems could appear across more streets in the conurbation, and eventually the nation, helping to support the UK's transition to cleaner, greener transport.

Huge victory for Brits as Spanish hotel bosses hit back at anti-tourist attacks
Brit tourists should not be used as a 'punching bag' for the worsening housing crisis impacting Spain, hotel bosses have warned in a major clap-back at protesting locals Hotel bosses on a tourist-engulf Spanish island have jumped to the defence of Brits following a string of confrontational protests. Last year, a staggering 15.3 million international visitors flocked to the Balearics - a beautiful archipelago made up of Majorca, Ibiza and Menorca. The influx resulted in fed-up locals storming the streets en masse - waving banners demanding holidaymakers 'go home'. Arguing the rising demand of holiday rentals is pricing them out of the property market - and worsening the country's housing crisis - residents even took to squirting Brits with water pistols to get their message across. READ MORE: Tiny Greek island dubbed 'a smaller Mykonos' named voted best in the world The latest protest, which took place just last month, comes as activists vowed to unleash 'misery' for Brits during the busy summer period. However, it seems the Mallorca Hotel Business Federation (FEHM) is pushing back on the island's anti-tourist landscape by launching a new campaign. The initiative, which aims to thank millions of tourists for visiting the island and raise awareness of the 'importance of tourism' to the economy, has seen around twenty billboards distributed throughout Mallorca, using positive and welcoming messages in English and German. According to local news site Majorca Daily Bulletin, Javier Vich, the president of the federation, said: "We cannot allow a radical minority to damage the work carried out over many years by so many people who have made tourism their way of life... Tourism cannot be the punching bag for all the structural problems of this community." Javier added that every month during the high season, a staggering 235,000 salaries are paid in sectors linked to tourism. This includes workers in the transport, catering, culture, leisure and hospitality sectors. The hotel boss went on to argue that Spain risks suffering a slowdown in bookings during the summer season, and more and more Brits flock to rival destinations like Greece and Turkey - which 'welcome tourists with a red carpet'. Even Morocco - which has long struggled to attract high levels of tourism, has seen its visitor numbers surge in recent months. "We must also be aware of their value," Javier warned. "Mallorca has been, is and must continue to be a hospitable land..." While the campaign may be well received by self-serving hotel bosses, that cash in on tourism, it's safe to say the news won't go down well with locals demanding change. And still - despite the alarming number of protests and graffiti that have been smeared across Spain - British expat Sandra Laurie, who has lived in Spain for nine years, says Brits should continue visiting Spain. "Local businesses, restaurants, and shops have built their success on welcoming tourists from all over the world," she exclusively told the Mirror earlier this year. "If you have a trip planned—don't let the headlines deter you. The Costa del Sol and other popular destinations are buzzing with life. The beaches are packed, the pueblos are alive with energy, and both locals and tourists are soaking up the sun, relaxing, and making the most of everything Spain has to offer." Of course, Sandra says being a 'respectful' visitor is key to being welcomed to the sunny country.
