    Including cashback, 76.3% discount is sooo tempting but can't really justify getting 3 trees, even as cheaply as £79.20 for the pre-lit ones (before cashback).
    Go for Nordic Pine & then that's 3 of us. :D
    Fog on The Tyne isn't mine all mine... but if I wanted it, I'd want it with a discount code.

    2 Nobles & 1 Pre-lit comes in at £104.40. Weird.

    This is what it shows in that combo:

    Order Summary

    Items £339.00
    Delivery £3.50
    Free Shipping -£3.50
    10% off -£33.90
    DOTD Promotion -£101.70
    Christmas 3 for 2 -£99.00
    ORDER TOTAL: £104.40

    I guess, a lower 10% off, a lower DOTD and of course 3 for 2, the cheapest one is free. Just seems weird that it makes the overall cost higher.

    I think it's because the discounts are taken at full price, and the full price was lower. The 3 for 2 on the dearer tree then more than makes up for the increased pre-discount price.

    It sounds weird, but because of the way M&S are calculating it, it makes mathematical sense, if somewhat illogical.
