M&S Food

[Mustard]

The spiced and iced buns. Prefer them to the lemon curd ones.

I’ve been influenced
The garlic bread is in the oven I’ll report back!

Phizzy tails are the elite Percies, and Ill die on that hill.

This thread!! So many of my faves already mentioned but I have a seeeeerious addiction to their version of Mini eggs, Chicky Chocky Eggs. Thicker shell, no artificial vanilla taste and creamy chocolate… I keep a stash year round. The mini whips, the salted caramel buttons and the chocolate cashews are also top tier.

I will say I find both Percy and Colin incredibly overrated, with the exception of Phizzy Pigtails. I feel like M&S have bought into their own hype and taken it all too far?!

My local big one is in Westfield and I love that it has an aisle for zero plastic, fill your own type things and different hen egg breeds so I can be unnecessarily extra and get a mix of white and brown.

Not sure if these have been mentioned
But sometimes when I don’t have anything in for tea
I will buy the M&S egg Mayo (it’s the best I’ve ever ever had, I could eat it with a spoon from the tub) and a sliced white loaf.
I can literally sit and eat most of the loaf with the egg Mayo piled high on top.
fabulous.

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.

 

[Ginger drink]

I love their chicken, mushroom and rice soup. I have it when I'm too lazy to make my own

 

[marisa9]

Anyone had the butter chicken? It is the most divine thing I have ever tasted, I tell everyone about it!! Way better than any curry I've had in a takeaway or restaurant!

Thanks to this thread I’m £80 down today and M&S have that money. Posh dogs currently on the bbq and a whole load of random stuff in the fridge!

Ahh this is where you are going wrong, you have to do the main food shop at Aldi (see the aldi thread) so you save enough £ to get the treats at M&S.

 

[BigMavis]

Ah here, M&S sandwiches cannot be beat!
Ploughman's.

Ploughman's.

that cheese and carrot one is heavenly!

when I was a teenager I worked at an M&S food hall. The staff shop was a highlight; any food out of date the following date was reduced to 10p. The stuff I’d buy!

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

They just have actually for father's Day

 

[Lola UK]

Picked up some of the pornstar martini tins yum!

I also never thought to go hunting for the yellow stickers before reading this thread! I don’t know why! I always thought M&S would be too pricey but it’s fun to go in and search for some bargains

they did a great offer on mains, sides and puds for £15 so I bought loads and popped them in the freezer!

I know I’ve made it when I can comfortably do my weekly food shop in M&S I’m always of the little old ladies who fill up their trolleys. They are living the dream! You go, joyce!!

 

[StrawberryCream]

Went to M&S today and got so much suggested on this thread can’t believe Iv never tried these cocktail cans before think they are going to become a regular buy, cheers!

 

[Punchface]

Went to marks last night for the first time since I started reading this thread - you’ve all sort of “ruined” it for me cause I’m going around the aisles thinking “ooh, that’s been mentioned” “oh, that’s really nice apparently” “must remember to try that, tattle said it’s gorgeous”

Main question though, how are they charging £4 for those cake jars?! They’re bloody tiny! I assumed they’d be in the fridges too, if they were fresh it might have warranted a higher price but

 

[coconochanel]

Hold on! does this mean we will now all be taking a detour to M&S on our way to Aldi?

 

[Priscilla99]

They changed the Colin caterpillar sweets but nobody seems to remember the original

I have literally never got a thing off my sparks card. What am I doing wrong.

Don’t be too concerned, all I seem to get is offers for things I don’t want, men’s pants for example, what single woman needs these, if she does get a male visitor they can bring their own.

 

[Pickminy]

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!

 

[Yel]

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

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

 

[Skalle]

You guys made me take a detour to M+s today! £60 later....oops!
