M&S 3 for 2 & 20%

I went in-store at M&S and found Andante pasta bowls which were £2 each, but with 3 for 2 stickers on. There's also a 20% off event at the moment - until 14th April I think.

I bought 6 & expected to pay 4 x £2 = £8, - 20% = £6.40; so I was delighted to find that the 20% came off the full price of £12, then an extra 2.13% VAT reduction, so the 6 bowls ended up costing something like £5.35.

There are other items also available in the range, & probably other 3 for 2 offers, so hope this helps someone else.

    For Anyone who missed the Suitcases offer last week you can still get a great deal as they are on 3 for 2 and 20% off to so i put some in basket 1 sml, 1 med and 1 lrg and with free delv could get all 3 for about £44.60 delivered and 5% Cashback through Quidco too.

    How did you get it to take the 3 for 2 amount off - I've tried a few variations selecting items that have the 3 for 2 symbol but it will only take off 20%. Is there a code you're supposed to use?

    Hiya you need to input the code for the free delivery which is on their website and the code for the 20% home furnishings event and the computer deducts everything for you

    EG in my basket 1 lg 1 med and 1 sml case Total to pay after all discounts is £44.67

    Bargain

    Nope, it won't do it for me. I've tried with a couple of styles of cases that have the 3 for 2 symbol, such as this value hard case here, tried adding small medium and large, but it will only take off 20% and the delivery charge.

    Purplepatch - It didn't take the 3 for 2 off the pasta bowls for me, so I phoned customer services whilst I was on the internet. they told me to send the order in whilst they were on the phone, and when I got the order number, I told them what it was, and they adjusted it from their side. HTH

    The hollowfibre pillows are a good deal, £3.50 each / 2 for £5 came down to 2 for £3.80 when I was shopping on Friday.

    You have to enter the code HOMESPB7 to get the 3 for 2 to kick in, and then DELVFREE for the free delivery. Its pretty much as good as the deal the other day on the cases. :j

    Hi
    Can confirm the cases work by putting in the codes for home event and free delv - to be found on discount code forum I hope. Ordered 3 medium value cases on Thursday for total of £39.41 and still 5% quidco after that.
    Well pleased.
    If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

    Thanks been wanting the £3 version of these plates and bowls for a while (sqaure ones) and need 6 of each of the bowl, large plate and side plate so hopefully will be just under £30 for them all when I go tommorow.
