SHOPPERS are flocking to get their hands on a Valentine’s Day treat scanning for just £1.25.
Asda‘s bakery is selling four love heart-shaped crumpets for the bargain price tag and customers are going wild for them.
The items have been getting rave reviews on social media, with one post about them in the Facebook group Snack Reviews garnering more than 1,400 likes and 1,600 comments.
One commenter said: “How cute would the heart ones be for a snack!”
Another added: “I think a love heart crumpet is something I need in my life.”
A third commented: “Heart ones for vday we need.”
And it’s not just love hearts on offer – the supermarket has also created dinosaur-shaped crumpets perfect for kids.
Hundreds of parents posted on Facebook that their children would love the fun dinosaur snack.
The love heart crumpets have been a recurring theme every Valentine’s Day at Asda.
When they were launched in 2018, a pack of four cost just £1, meaning it has risen by 25p in the past seven years.
The retailer recommends heating the crumpets under a grill or toasting in a toaster for 3-4 minutes for the best results.

How to save money on your supermarket shop
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.
