OMG!!! How can i resist!

Yesterday an M&S food store opened just around the corner from our flat! I was given a free glass of bubbly and felt obliged to spend a couple of quid.;)

BUT, how am I gonna resist going in there on a daily basis. Those adverts just sell their food so well and now it's so close to home.................it's gonna be so difficult! HELP!!!! :eek:

    Since I have been on my cost cutting mission, the thing I most miss is M & S yummy food.
    I'm glad the store is not where I live though, I would never be able to walk past!!

    Must put M&S coffee walnut whips on my xmas list ;)
  • may be this will help you walk past, when I worked for them I got about a 20% discount and some one pointed out this made it about the same price as Tesco, so if you don't walk past you'll be paying 20% more than anywhere else.
