    profiteroles were best buy money wise in pudding section but I hate them.


    Pass them here & I'll eat them for you - purely in the interests of MS, you understand...;)

    Monday is the best day of all to get bargains on the M&S Dine in for £10...after the deal is officially over.

    Everything that's not sold Thu-Sun is sold off for half price. Today in Basingstoke M&S I bought 1 or 2 of each of the featured main courses, accompaniments and puddings - all half price! They were placed together in a chiller labelled "offers".

    The only thing that wasn't half price was the wine!

    i thought personally the offer was not all that this time at our m&s. The portions were smaller and there was hardly anything dinner wise in ours just the chickens (only had the really small ones) and the two chicken with somethnig on them (sorry cant remember) but the chicken portions in those were tiny. Really was disappointed as am normally really happy with their deals but not sure if i will go back for next one, anyone else feeling that m&s are skimping a bit on everything overall??

    I was disappointed with the quality and size too. The parmentier potatos were smaller, quality of wine not so good and very little choice of pudding in my store.

    I probably won't bother next time unless they improve it.

    Glad I'm not the only one that feels like this. Strange though how some m&s stores are better than others. Remember seeing someone post on this thread that they got a huge chicken the ones in my store were literally tiny, almost look like a poussin one instead of a whole chicken!

    I've just picked up the chicken with stuff on, and the new potatoes in stuff, both half price.
