IT'S BACK !!! M&S "Dine in for £10" (merged)

HLK

The Braehead store was out of wine by the time I got there and there wasn't much choice, but they replaced it with a £5 voucher.. so I got 2 deals and added 2 bottles of their Premier Brut ( on special at £10 for 2 ) instead of the wine. So thats the fizzy for Xmas day sorted!

I don't find M & S deals to be as good as the reductions you can find at the local Waitrose or Tesco, although at least M & S have now started their own reductions as well.

It would be more tempting if they stripped out the wine, which is supposed to be valued at around £5 and just offered a meal for 2 for £5, or a meal for 4 for £10.

The wine might not be to taste, plus it has to be carried home. It is always easy to find wine bargains so no big deal.

I'm not a drinker. Thanks to these offers I now have 6 bottles put aside for xmas, that will do us this year & next:rolleyes:

I did get the orange juice a few times, but I don't really like that juice. I like the one they do in the clear bottle & I like Tropicana.

I would prefer a starter option;)

Or two side dishes;)

I really enjoyed my meal. It is the first time I have been able to take advantage of the offer as I have never had the cash for the others.
The cashier told me that there is only 1 more offer before Christmas and so I am definitely going to put a tenner aside for next time

my only gripe at these offers is, you only get one side (perhaps they expect you to buy another), so its either a choice of potato, bread or veg. i usually have at least 2 of these with a meal normally, so im having to choose whether i want to buy just pots, or just veg with my chicken, and cook extra at home

I agree, I got round this the last time as it was the winter roasting veg which included new potato's. I didn't need to add anything to this and the chicken except the gravy so it really was a full meal for two for the £10.

This weekend I just used frozen peas and sweetcorn.

Would have bought the lasange this time but no garlic bread in the offer.

I definitely think they are cutting back, hopefully we won't have seen the last of the fabulous chicken deals!

I also don't think this weeks offerings were as good. Wish I'd known about the chocolates though!!! I now have 9 bottles of wine which will be christmas presents. My daughter pointed out that this weeks savings weren't as good as usual. We usually buy 3 each and get the wine saving as well but this time she only bought one.

I think dine in is back next Thursday.

I keep trying to do this!
they would be great to bring to dinner parties etc and I try to save them up as boyf and I only really drink sweeter wines (German Rieslings mostly)

Problem is boyf is a bit tight so when he sees them he's like "right don't need to buy any more wine, we'll open one of them" no matter how much I tell him "we won't like it" he'll open it anyway so we now have 3 bottles of opened wine with one glass missing :mad:

Such a waste of what other wine drinkers might've really enjoyed and it means next time we go to a party we have to buy a new bottle :rolleyes:
For someone so tight fisted I really wish he'd learn a thing or two about money saving!

The next bottle we get I'm going to hide

try to mix the white wine with orange juice= buzz fizz or red wine with lemonade = sangria; don't waste them or use them in cooking.

Does anyone know if the deal is on again this week?

Thanks
