<\/p>\nWe all like a bargain from the supermarket at any time of year.<\/p>\n
However, its even more vital to save the pennies at Christmas because of all we have to buy over the festive season. <\/p>\n
And one shopper got a right bargain this week as they managed to pick up a whole leg of lamb for just 5p at Sainsbury's. And people have been left baffled as the news spread online this week – as people couldn't understand why it was so cheap.<\/p>\n

A photo of the cut-price lamb was shared online by one X (formerly Twitter) user who has spotted it on a Facebook group. She wrote: "Lord, I've seen what you've done for others…"<\/p>\n
The lamb, which was resting on a sofa, was formerly \u00a329.33, but was reduced to just 10p. A receipt next to it then showed that the shopper had got it even cheaper, at 5p, thanks to a Nectar Price saving.<\/p>\n
The post has gone viral this week since being shared, racking up a staggering 1.6million views so far. Many couldn't believe what a bargain it was, as one person exclaimed: "Bloody hell that\u2019s cheap," as another asked: "WTF?" A third probed: "10p? Is it gangrenous?" While a fourth chimed in: "It\u2019s the extra nectar saving of 5p that\u2019s done for me!"<\/p>\n

However, despite the cheap price, some admitted that it wouldn't be for them. One wrote: "No chance I'd trust a 10p leg of lamb. There's a reason it's 10p and my stomach doesn't want to find out why," while another branded it "so grim".<\/p>\n
