How about a thread for the only thing good at marks and Spencer?

Has anyone tried their best ever eclair? I'm waiting for a day that it feels needed. £5 for two and 500 cals

The cake jars look pretty bad - £4 and lots of plastic for such a small portion.

I saw these cake jars when I was in this week and they're tiny for £4!

My current M&S best buy is their onion ring crisps - they're a great knockoff of Tayto Onion Rings and only 150cals for the entire huge bag 😂

Their macaroni cheese and white chocolate milkshake are my guilty pleasure 😋 Really want to try the trillionaires cake jar but feel it's one of those things that won't live up to expectation, then I will be passed off for wasting £4! 🙈

The cake jars are so nice but they're not for sharing, hide them at the back of the fridge. I love the dirty fries and gin in the tins. The nachos are pretty good for £5. I see they have bake your own Colin cookie dough but its not in my local yet.

I always pop in M&S food after my weekly trip to the physio. It satisfies my cravings for Waitrose somewhat, as god I miss Waitrose so much … and Aldi too 😂

I usually get the meal deals and anything yellow stickered by at least half price. I like luxury but I like saving money even more 😉

I’m currently addicted to the vegan salt beef pretzel sandwich. At £3.50 it’s pretty pricey but as a once a week thing it’s definitely worth it … I don’t even like sandwiches usually. I got the best ever Mac n cheese yesterday for £1 …I didn’t like it 😂 My freezer is starting to look like an M&S food store now but I can’t resist those yellow stickers 🤷‍♀️

Yep! They're smaller than a scone and to add insult to injury they suggest half of the tiny jar is a portion! 56g is not a portion of cake 🤦‍♀️

The salad pots were great

But they've changed the container to use more plastic and waste space, made it smaller (was 230g now 200g), it's more expensive (gone is the 2 for £3 offer) and the selection has been reduced 😭

I love M&S chocolate chunk shortbread 🤤

I’ve tried the Yumnuts too (what a name 🤣) and they’re ok but not in a hurry to get them again.

I tried the best ever eclair, got them reduced but still pricey at around £3, but they are pretty good! Not worth a fiver though 😳 one thing I always pick up in M&S is the plant kitchen vegan Chicken Kievs, I’m not vegan or vegetarian but it’s so good and I prefer it from real chicken!

Ooooh I might have to get some of these I love an Eclair. I usually buy the cheddar cheese discs (biscuit and crackers aisle) Percy pigs and the breaded mushrooms are delicious as well. I also love the orange trifle 😋 😋 😋 😋

yeah so true. My local store the reductions are generally crap 😂 it’s quite a small one so maybe it differs by store.

One of the best things they sell are the chilli and cheese hot cross buns I can eat all four in a day 😂

Not food (sorry) but I'm forever sticking plants in my trolley. If you're into house plants they're great.

I can't go into an M&S without buying one of the bags of Giant Salted Pretzels & the Mint Truffle Bar (i buy a few & hide them in the Salad drawer in the Fridge, defo safe from Husband & Kids in there!) I bought one of the Colin Cake Jars for my friend for her Birthday & she said it was delicious. However, i find Colin a little too dry & prefer the Tesco version. I am aware that is a very bold statement !

Also, the Lasagne Dip they did at Xmas was amazing ! Sadly we've now finished the 6 i stockpiled in the Freezer - that needs to become a regular item.

Instead of the Colin cake jar they should have just bought out a smaller Colin. Like a quarter of the size so I can eat the whole thing. I’m not gonna buy a big one and eat it to myself 😂

Their chocolate mini whips are my favourite 😋 there is an M&S food near my work and I'll pop in for a bag when I'm having a stressful day, or a good day or any other excuse 😂 and eat a whole bag in one go
