What's happened to the M&S £10 meal deal?

Why do Veggies only get 1 choice, carnivores get 9? Not good enough, M & S.

Thoroughly agree about lack of veggie options and also lack of 'healthy' options. Non-alcoholic drink range is much improved though.

I always find the biggest problem with M&S deals is not the deal but finding the right time to go and buy them so your not just grabbing what's left.

Is it just me, or have the chickens featured in the £10 deal shrunk? The largest one I could see today was 1.15kg, and cost £3.xx. In the past I've had much bigger ones with a face value of £6.xx which easily fed 4 with enough leftover for a curry, these ones today might just feed 3 with no leftovers.

The ones in our M&S on the Dine In display were quite small, but I looked on the normal chicken shelf where there were bigger ones and they went through with the deal ( make sure it's a medium one though, I don't think a large one would count as part of the deal).

The biggest Chic I could find was £6.38.
I only went in as I had a free voucher that I got for some quote, I was disgusted that the casheir tried to charge me 5p extra, I soon told her what do do with her bag. The cheek of it trying to charge me money so I could walk around town advertising their shop.
My tip, take a free bag with one of their rivals names on it when you go for their £10 offer. If they want to charge me 5p for a bag they should change the offer to dine in for £10.05p.

Sometimes if it isn't stickered it doesn't go through.

I would expect your one of the last people in England not to know M&S charges 5p for carrier bags. The taking your own bag tip is exactly what people where recomended to do when this started over 2 years ago and I am sure thats what most people already do..

Not true. The deal is triggered by products with the right code going through the till. Dine in stickers don't matter.

Below the bar they uses to scan products at the tills is a number. As long as that number is the same as the products advertised (check shelf label that also has the code or another chicken on the end) then it will work on the deal.

Well, I had some steak refused last year, it was the exactly the same steak as in the deal but was from the normal shelf and non stickered , the manager said that stock wasn't allocated to the deal and I couldn't have it.
The steak isn't described as small, medium or large so perhaps it was just too big for the deal and the price may have been too high and the computer may have just been programmed to not allow it.
