    I can't remember everything they have added but the things I know for sure are desserts include the profiterole stack, strawberry tarts, raspberry panna cotta, more wines include Clear Lake Cabernet and Chardonnay and Wood Haven Shiraz and Chardonnay.
    It should all be put in the same fridges though to make it easier for customers to choose from.

    i was told yesterday that this offer was going to be every weekend this month, not sure if the same items will be in it each week

    info was sort of third hand so not sure how reliable it is but would be great if it is every week wouldnt it

    M&S in Bristol Cribbs was brilliant all the items were put at the end of each row:T in sections.

    So end of row 1 was the meats (main meals)
    end of row 2 vegetables and salad
    end of row 3 puddings
    bottles of wine on the side of row

    well set out and easy to see what is what.
    The average woman would rather have beauty than brains,
    because the average man can see better than he can think.

    Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:

    Bath had run out of all main meals in the offer so were letting you choose any main meal and gave you £5 off your total so I got a nice salmon dish worth £5.99 so total came to £11 something, still not a bad offer. Hopefully tthey'll have more stock next time if its going to be a regular thing.

    Well I think my local M&S have made a huge mistake :rotfl:

    Hubby went in Friday afternoon to get us a deal for a tenner.

    When he got to the shelf where the meals were, there was a member of staff apologizing they had run out of puds and handing out a voucher for ten pounds.

    He got to the till and only had 26p to pay.

    What a good deal thinks hubby and goes again to look what is left. gets given another tenner voucher with apologies for no puddings.

    Gets to the till and £1.32 to pay.

    So now we have two meals for two and two bottles of wine costing less than £2.

    On his way out he picks up yet another voucher and told if he comes back next day, they will have restocked.

    Off he trots next morning and yet another meal for two with bottle of wine and pudding. :rotfl:

    He is not normally one to spot a bargain but I think someone has made a huge error. ........I aint complaining. :D

    Im soooo proud of him. :p
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60
