I haven't been to m&s for about 4 months (poor, moved house etc) but tomorrow we are going shopping for my niece's birthday present so we will also nip in for some bits. Please help me compile a shopping list if there's anything you've had lately that has been out of this world? So far I've got:

Italian ready meals for tomorrow's tea as we will be back home late
Garlic flatbreads for with the Italian meals
Rotisserie style chicken (we use for work sandwiches and I'm making chorizo orzo risotto for tea on Friday so will chuck some in too)
Smashed avocado (I find it lasts me a couple of days and doesn't go brown unlike other brands that do similar)
Whipped cream cheese (amazing on bagels with crispy bacon)
Sourdough bagels
Raspberry yumnut
Cantina style tortilla chips

Should I pick up some halloumi fries? And I'm thinking the chocolate orange cake jar? I also love the fish cakes... god I'm going to spend a fortunate aren't I 😵

I’m so tempted with the halloumi fries and sticking them on this week’s Ocado shop which I have until this evening to edit …. Someone talk me out of it !

I said earlier that we live in a seaside town and have never seen so many yellow tickets on sandwiches and touristy type food but today was a yellow fiesta.
Gluten free Lemon or Blueberry Muffins - £2.50 for 60p for 4 so we bought all 6 packs for the freezer instead of expensive Christmas stuff. We bought a pack last week on yellow and they were good. Coronation Chicken packs £2.80 for 80p so bought all 5 - the posh sausage was 88p instead of about £2.50 but only 1. I got some sushi for just over £1 instead of 3 so all good.
We are going to Bury Market tomorrow (my favourite ever) so maybe we will get some there. ;) ;)

The Big Daddy bar is basically a massive version of those. It’s very expensive but my partner loved it (and he loves these).
Are they still selling the Big Daddy? I have specifically looked for them on my recent couple of visits to large stores that used to sell them and could not find them :(

By the way I know this is M&S but if anybody wants a Waitrose home delivery slot 🚛🚛🚛 for Christmas week they are open to everyone now (VIPs were last week). I think Ocado have released to VIPs at the weekend but not normal plebs yet.

It's probably been an absolute blood bath of yellow stickers at any M&S that are in BP petrol stations since not many people will have been going to them on account of them having either no fuel or massive queues.

There was sooo much, at least a whole fridge worth, at my BP M&S the other day but I couldn't look as I was getting fuel.

We got one a week or so ago at my local M&S food - tbf it is like the land that time forgot (it’s literally just got the cake jars in) so it may be that we have older stock.

Ocado has them on their site.

We have a few smaller food only outlets, maybe I need to go to them. The food hall I go to is massive but it’s within the store. You’ve done well with your stickers. I haven’t got a massive freezer so I wouldn’t be able to go too berserk anyway, maybe that’s not a bad thing 😂
 
Has anyone tried this yet, or seen it in store?

I tried to order one with my Ocado shop but it was OOS 😭

Saw this tonight, the ones behind were all on a yellow sticker too. Has anyone tried them? I’m not even sure how it’s heated up. I presume not to be eaten straight from the chiller? 🤢

I have to admire the carb on carb sandwich though.
Never tried it but a YouTuber I watch did from the cafe and said it was really good, but said she’d rather just cheese and didn’t get what the pasta added.
