    I have some in a bag for the local charity shop, will dig them out for this now.
  • It's a £5 off a £35 spend voucher.

    Oxfam and M&S have teamed up to help shoppers support the world’s poorest people. Just bring your old M&S clothes or soft furnishings to an Oxfam shop and we’ll exchange them for a £5 voucher* to use at M&S. It’s a nice, simple way to clear out your home, save money, reduce waste and raise heaps of money for Oxfam.
    *£5 off a £35 spend on clothing, homeware or beauty products in M&S.

    Anyone know how long this offer is available? Terms say you have to use the voucher in the month you acquired it, and I wanted to wait and see if they have a 20% off sale before Christmas.

    This offer is on going but you do have to spend the voucher within a time limit...its a month I think. Just go and get one when the sale starts and you should be OK. You only need to take in one item to get the voucher

    So you can get a £35 shop in M&S for £30 with this voucher.
    Or you can get the equivalent stuff in Primark for maybe £15.

    Or, better still, if you want M&S quality (or label) and this offer attracts lots of donations then you can get the same stuff in Oxfam for maybe £8.


    I'm not suggesting people don't take their stuff to Oxfam [I do so myself]. Just that the voucher isn't much to shout about.

    Oh, but if you do really want to spend £35 in M&S and don't have anything to donate then buy something with an M&S label from Oxfam for less than a fiver and donate it straight back.
