    Sales are always tuesday or thursdays, and main Christmas one is first day of opening after boxing day. It was always planned for tomorrow, and staff don't get dibs on anything, but they do get discount on top of sale prices.
    Dooyoo £10.40/40, TopCashBack £17.19/30, Valued Opinions 50p/£10, Swagbucks 0/£20, Ebay £15/£25

    Historically M&S sales have always started on a wednesday in store and late tues night online?
    I thought it used always to be Thursdays in-store and only changed to Wednesdays in the past year or two. My memory must be going already!

    No, there isn't an echo - just Nicolefury and I seem to have posted at exactly same time!

    note: items you think might be sale can be reserved and collected on sale day to get them at sale price (and your sizes!)

    Is this something that can be done online?

    my basket is LOCKED AND LOADED!

    I'm launching my attack before midnight when their defenses are low :)

    Maybe if I get my orders in before midnight I'll get free delivery to store...

    Shame they don't have a Free Delivery offer on for orders over £30 anymore!

    if you don't mind me asking how do you know what items will be in the sale, so that you can load your basket up please?

    no.

    But you might be able to phone your local M&S and ask them to reserve it using the Product Code & size

    have a look at my post:

    But it's always a gamble, some will be in the sale, some items won't...

    Normally when a sale is due to start we can preview the stuff that *may* be reduced? Now I just get 'coming soon' when I look for the sale category. Usually by this time of day I've got my basket full and ready to go, so if it's starting tonight they're leaving it quite late!
  • I've filled my basket, so is it just a case of waiting for the sale to start? Do they automatically reduce the prices of items in your basket if they are in the sale? Never done this before!:j:j:j:j:j
