I always thought that £10 for 2 was a pricey deal compared to DIY, but when I think of what we spent in restaurants last weekend that didn't even fill us up, the deal is suddenly looking v attractive!

I'd be buying 2 litres of fruit juice from somewhere anyway, for about £3 - so the cost of the rest is around £7. Last time round I got a chicken that easily fed 8 people over 3-days, plus the yummy pudding & side dish, all for that £7.
And if you have one of those £5 off £25 vouchers they gave out in store before Xmas then you can buy 2 lots (one for the freezer!) and indulge with £5 of other M&S food for free.

For those who do have the £5 voucher, the voucher actually kicks in before the offers are taken off the bill. I spent £22 last week and still used the £5 voucher (paid £17) because I had a few deals that came to £30+ before the discounts for the deals came off. So for the dine for 2, you could get 2 for £15.
(sorry if this is confusing) It did take a while to explain to the cashier and I did feel a bit embarrassed, but I just kindly asked her to scan it and see if it works, she was very surprised and said she had no clue it worked like this. I might use the self scan tomorrow.

If you buy a chicken don't choose from the dine in display go to where they keep the chickens because they are much bigger.

Anyone recommend a good combination? Not used to M&S meals but the wine is a definite.

Thanks OP, I like to pick these up when they offer the whole chicken. Last one I got saved about £9, this included a chicken worth over £7.

I have to admit that I usually just buy the most expensive items (that I like, of course) and don't necessarily use them in the same meals.
As pointed out above, if you have the voucher this is tracked BEFORE any of the offers come off. Last time I got a whole chicken worth over £7. Went through self service and scanned just enough shopping to get to £25 exactly, then scanned the voucher. It came off, plus £8.50 saved on the meal deal and I paid £11.50 for the lot.
Used a second voucher for the rest of the shopping, btw. Nearby staff member didn't seem to mind. Technically it was my flatmate's though, who was with me - so would have claimed it was split shopping if questioned.

I had the mushroom veggie dish with the med veg and choc suffle. I'm still hungry it didn't even touch the sides  Quite disappointed as for a non-veggie it seems a really good deal. The mushroom was yummy though just needed more of it, much more.
