    I discovered M&S reductions the other week, it was when we had the really hot weather, we nipped in not long before closing as it was still hot and wanted a few bits for a picnic tea in the park, no one else was in the store, so we had free reign of reductions.
    Got 5 cookies and a granola slice for 10p
    10 loaves of bread 10p each
    10 x 2 pints of milk 10p each
    croissants 4 pack 10p
    choc au pains 4 pack 10p
    salads 10p each
    sandwhiches 10p each
    strawberries 10p each

    And the best ever a £15 cake reduced to 50p it was delicious, it was a chocolate brownie one.

    However a few days later I was in town and popped in OMG - it was then that I witnessed the vultures, well the students, who caused havoc whipping everything off the shelves and demanding the SA to hurry up with the reductions, they were like a swarm of locusts.

    I nip in every now and then, but I really couldnt lower myself to that behaviour over a 10p loaf of bread.

    Hmm not sure if my local M&S does reductions as I've only ever seen one or two mark-downs quite a while ago in there..

    May have to find out their opening/closing times and investigate, as the local (metro) Mr T's reductions aren't the best sadly :(

    Thanks for the tip OP x
    On the up :D

    I posted on M&S reductions last week, they can be fab! I got 2 lamb shanks, down form £9 odd to 50p:money: Big tubs of soup down from £2.99 to 50p, croissants the same.

    I've never seen reductions like this at my local M&S, I'm going to have to try being there near closing time.

    My local co-op has some rather unimpressive mark-downs on bread. Small Warburton loaves that are usually £1.05 new for 74p, with the best before date being that day. Not tempted. French sticks marked down to 20p are much more tempting - they make good garlic bread.
  • I think you have to time it right, because everything seems to disappear from the shelves VERY quickly. The wolves image isn't far off the mark either, although maybe more drooling ;)

    Some people seem to live for these bargains! It probably depends on your particular store though. Might be worth asking a member of staff, M&S seem to have really nice, friendly staff.
