ICELAND has slashed the price of a festive favourite to just 50p.
The bargain retailer is now charging 50p for a packet of six mince pies marked down from £1.45.
That works out at around 8p per mince pie.
The deal was shared on the HotUkDeals website with many bargain hunters praising the deal.
One shopper said: “[It’s] about time..not paying £1.50 for six.”
Iceland‘s take on the festive treat which is filled with dried fruit and topped with pastry, has received glowing reviews from customers.
One happy purchaser said: “Tastes very nice. The flavouring is very yummy! Would definitely recommend it to someone looking to buy mince pies.”
While another added: “Very flavoursome. Nice amount of fruit and not too much pastry. Good value too.”
A third said: “The best value mince pie I’ve had so far! Half the price of the luxury, but not half of the flavour.”
The deal is available to shop on the Iceland website and in stores.
However, if you are keen to shop the deal in person it may be worth ringing up your local store ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
That’s because most of Iceland’s 1000+ stores will remain closed on Boxing Day across the UK, with it being officially assigned as a bank holiday for staff.
The same applies to The Food Warehouse.
However, the company confirmed to The Sun that 76 Iceland stores, mostly in London and Essex, will open on 26 December, some as late as 9pm.

Iceland is not the only retailer slashing prices this Boxing Day.
Poundland has slashed prices on cleaning products, and perfume and launched a mega clothing sale with up to 70% off.
The cut-price offers are available online now and in stores from tomorrow when branches reopen.
Meanwhile, B&M has launched an early January sale in stores today with prices starting from 25p.
The retailer doesn’t offer a home delivery service so you’ll have to go to your nearest physical branch.
However, you should make sure you are checking the price of any product before buying it as you might be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.
Use price comparison sites like Trolley, Price Runner and Price Spy to find the best deals.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
