M&S Further reductions

Raine_E_Day

Manager's reductions today, and was in store at 9am so got some real bargains. It was chaos as nothing has the proper price on, but most things were reduced to £1, £2 or £3 at the till. I went a bit mad - but had a plan, so I'm happy! Original price of clothes and jewellery £1495. Spent £153. I have only kept four items for myself at £3 each, all reduced from £40. I was in and out all day (I live just round the corner - very handy!). When I saw how cheap everything was, I decided to buy anything decent that I could make a profit on (per una, autograph etc.) whatever the size. Too much hassle to list on eBay, so will sell at car boot and should make a good profit without having to ask too much (and I've got some Debenhams and Currys freebies too) .

I kept getting the sarcastic SA - comments about the number of times she'd served me, the amount and varied sizes I was buying, and would they fit me? In the end I told her she was being judgemental and I could buy what I liked, for whatever purpose. She apologized. She clearly did not like it that people were loading up trolleys with everything and anything - and I wasn't alone in buying so much. I think she was jealous - the staff were only told about the reductions as they left work yesterday, so couldn't get anything for themselves.

I might pop in tomorrow, but from what I overheard, the stock room was cleared out - as was the store by 4pm – not much left at all!

Well I could say, but I prefer not to as it's a small town. I'm funny about giving personal stuff out - sorry, but that's just me!

Managers reductions were on today, but only on kidswear and menswear. still waiting for womenswear and homewear, should be tommorrow. they decided to take one floor at a time as there would be too much chaos on the tills.

Thanks for that, Lola! After reading your post DD and I went in to our local M&S and came away with some lovely stuff and both of us spent less than £50.

Hello M&S'ers. I thought I'd pop on here and ask my question as you obviously all shop in M&S.

I bought some Christmas decorations on 3 for 2 which arrived about 2 days before Christmas. I have decided to keep a few bits but I don't like some of the items they sent. If I return 1 item from a 3 for 2 promotion, will I in effect just be returning my free item, or will they divide the price I paid for all 3? I hope that makes sense. The items are not faulty (don't know if that makes a difference), I just didn't like some of the items. I bought the items online.

Thanks for your help.

Lemony, you'd be returning the free item, so I'd just give it to a friend, or donate it to charity.

I'm glad it helped you, I was at our store at 8.30, for it opening but alas it wasn't on:o, my Mam had overheard a manager saying he had the email and SA saying that they wouldn't be ready for the morning to which the manager had replied the other stores would be, hence I was there, was going to go this morning but our roads are like glass thanks to sleet and ver y cold conditions last night, might brave it later but they will still be accepting returns from Christmas so things will be going out all the time:p
