sweet deal

Really good bargain

A sweet deal is an arrangement or transaction that's unusually favorable, often implying someone got more than expected or paid less than something was worth: We got a sweet deal on the house—twenty percent below asking.

The sweetness suggests pleasure at one's good fortune, sometimes with a hint of getting away with something.
