m&s food : Most liked Posts

I had a win this morning. Went to my local Food Hall and on the way out there was an assistant offering flowers out of a trolley for free. Apparently just because they were out of date. Got this beautiful £20 bunch of peonies for nothing!

I want my waistline back

Ahhhhh lads, just had lunch with my mom and she was buzzing to tell me about she went in last week to buy some bedding, came to £108 and when she went to pay and scanned her card, she was told to wait for assistance, she got it for free apparently the member of staff was over the moon and said it was the highest “pay for your shop” she’d ever seen

Not just any argument but an M&S argument

Went shopping today for Christmas bits -alcohol, biscuits, chocolates etc and got my £50 shopping free. I presumed it was only people getting sandwiches for lunch who got their shopping paid for

I got the job!!! Here’s some of my celebration haul - salted and black pepper
Combo mix, white chocolate cookies, Belgian biscuit selection, dark chocolate and ginger biscuits, Big Daddy pistachio, the jelly bean CHOC bar and Turkish Delight in the picture.

Also got a Waikiki melon (no Limelons this time but lots of these), Marmite pizza, Marmite mac and cheese bites, and the Green Goddess salad dressing.

Very happy. (With the job and the snacks tbf.)

I got free mini bites today - which ones are the best?

I am putting together a Christmas hamper for an older gentleman in my neighbourhood. I keep seeing him out and about, and a few weeks ago I realised he always goes to a bakery at closing time and gets a bag of goodies - he doesn't pay for them, he just hangs around the entrance until a member of staff hands over a paper bag, with what I assume are some unsold goods, so I think it's a bit like Too Good To Go, but without the app . He looks really kind but also lonely and it moved me so much, I followed him a few times to find out where he lives. The house is dark even when he returns, no way of knowing if he lives on his own.

Yesterday he wore the same coat and hat he always wears but what looked like smart trousers and polished shoes, I thought it was so sweet.

I'm a bit of a loner myself so I wouldn't think of approaching him, but I decided that I will leave a bag of Christmas food by his door, as well as put some extra cash in a card. I don't know his name and he doesn't need to know mine, but I want to make him a gift.

You lot are the only people I'm telling this, since this is an anonymous forum

I got some bits at Lidl and Tesco today already, want to buy the Waitrose mince pies and I'll get him some tangerines from M&S. The mini bites too and maybe some cold meats/cheese, I am not buying anything that needs to be cooked.

Wish me luck, I am quite nervous but determined to do this I hope it works out, although I guess I'll never know!

Went to collect my M&S freebie and they didn't have anything in stock.

Lost a tenner on the street as well, waste of a day.

Two weeks ago I went on an impromptu night out, but had stopped off at marks on the way and picked up a cornflake brownie. I ended up on a mini pub crawl. **My house is between the pubs**

a few days later I remembered my brownie and thought that I had left it behind in the pub, and was slyly fuming that the barman who had been eyeing it up had probably nicked it on me.

my husband found it buried in the peonies in the front garden yesterday, drunk Pommy obviously wanted to guard that Cornflake brownie with her life and hid it on the way to the next pub.

(yes, I’m going to eat it)

I’m having a crap work week so far. Partner has just said ‘do you want to go to M&S after work on Friday and get some treats for the weekend?’

Feel like some of you will understand when I say this is the most romantic thing anyone’s ever said.

I watched the two episodes of Inside M&S, and I think they have too many celebrities involved now, and too many variations to everything it gets confusing. They’ve had Gazza B, Holly W, Davina, Tom Kerridge, Fred Sirieix and now Tommy Fury, and none of them make me want to buy anything more than I did before. I’m a shopper in their target range and I’m bored with it. I hate that there’s 10 billion different new products every year and the ones I liked last year don’t come back, the new ones are all weird flavours and I just want a good quality traditional Christmas. No disco Santa, no marmalade light up liquor, no 9 different Christmas tin options, I want them to stop paying millions for celebrities we don’t care about, bring the prices down during austerity and focus on quality over quantity. We want free percies, decent core products and none of us want a neon yellow jumper either

Anybody else have problem with M&S easy peelers ? For the 3rd time in a few weeks I have opened the bag and there is a mouldy one in there that has affected all the others. I bought them on Saturday to take them away with me tomorrow and just come to do my breakfast and snack box and they are rotten. I usually take them back and they replace them without question but I can't take them back now and will be away tomorrow before they open.
I might as well buy them from Aldi at half the price than keep buying them in Marks.

That's why I dont risk eating healthy ..


Chocolate wouldn't betray you like that..

Forget everything bad I’ve ever said about Sparks. The algorithm is genius.

Yellow sticker galore this morning. The large macaroni cheese £1.25. Posh dogs £1.25. Soy salmon £2. Sirloin steak £2.75. Black tiger prawns £2.75

It’s my birthday next week and I received an email from M&S with the title “your birthday is just around the corner!” I excitedly opened it to find……..: a recipe they sent me a recipe to make my own birthday cake as a birthday gift l

So THIS happened the other day (it pops up after you've totalled your shopping, so no chance of bolting round for more - only spent 8 quid, but hey, every little helps, especially given the fact that I had doubts of it even existing):

Surely double potatoes is a goal, not a problem?

My parents just got their £130 shop for free it’s a big day on the family group chat

I feel you guys will appreciate this more than my family have…. I did a £35 shop in m and s food yesterday and scanned my sparks card and actually won my shopping!!!!
Wish I’d filled up more now!

Erm.....🫣
