M&S: Books for 3 for 2 AND 50% off

Thanks to steventaylor on HDUK (http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/252101/even-cheaper-books-from-m-s-50-off-/)

You can get certain books across the quiz, gardening, childrens and cookery sections for 3for2, 50% off AND free delivery
(According to Natbag, all of the books in the wedding and baby section are also 50% off, so all covered by the glitch - Thanks!)


Cheapest thing I found was a Holiday Puzzle book for £1.50.

Example:

Puzzle book x 3 = £4.50
less £1.50 for 3for2 offer
less £2.25 for 50% off offer
Total to pay = £0.75 DELIVERED

NB. deductions don't show up until final payment screen (whereby you can click PLACE ORDER)

HTH :D

Don't forget quidco too (thanks hflower74)

    Thanks for this, two more Christmas presents off the list (and for people I'd been struggling to buy for) and one for me.
    I got:
    The Wedding Planner Book - £7.50 50% off
    The Pregnancy and Baby Book - £7.50 50% off
    The Little Book of One Liners - £2.50
    Final total - £7.50
    I had meant to swap the One Liners for something more expensive to get free, but one-click ordering meant my order was placed before I saw the total.

    Not all are 50% off, only those where it says in the individual link.It takes a bit of searching to find them annoyingly.
