    Does this mean that edinburghlass will be in there until midnight again?  ::)  ;D

    My local M&S is miles away and isn't very big so no doubt all their stuff will be gone by now.  :(

    Good time to stock up though if you can.  ;D

    I did pretty well out of this today.
    I got 8 boxes of incense sticks for 50p each (were £5 each),
    a nice vase for 25p (was £15),
    an air freshener for 50p (was £10)
    and a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) metal flower pot for 25p (was £75! YES! SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS!!!)
    £140 retail for a fiver!!

    I can't believe there is only one reply above mine for this.
    Nice post, thank you very very much.
    I rarely go into Marksies, what a bizarre place it is.

    well done!

    I took myself out there with my two wee ones and only found some spelling, alphabet, and baby animals sticker books for 50p each - still good bargains!

    They aren't online offers, they are instore offers only by the looks of it.
    I've checked their site and nothing is in the online sale. Sorry. :(
  • when its sale time, you have to be in M & S stores for opening time bang on and head straight for sale stuff. I have been in every morning this week and have some amazing stuff. I got the baby bath gift set which was £30 for £3, remote control car from £35 to £3, and loads of odds and ends like fragranced gift sets £1-£3, great gift set with hairdryer in and travel kit was £35 now £5, cool pink leather address book £12 to £2, ratchet screwdriver set from £20 to £3 etc - if you dont go for opening time you miss out and the staff have put out the returned items from the previous day and have to be re-sold at reduced price, or they get maybe 2 or 3 special sale items with their normal deliveries.
    Today i got 2 luxury pedicure/manicure sets with rechargable adaptor was £25 each now £3, and to top it all inside is a £3 free voucher for any M & S cosmetic, so ineffect, £50 worth of stuff free !! I LOVE YOU M & S ;D
