M&S Vouchers..... dilemma!

Hi
Ive got £150 M&S vouchers gathered from recommend a friend schemes etc.
I would ideally like to 'split' them up so I can spend £75 on posh food for xmas from M&S and the other £75 on regular food from Asda.
Ive looked into selling the £75 vouchers on ebay which is gonna cost me 10% final value fee and nearly 4% paypal fees which is gonna be a big chunk out of the £75.
Does anyone have any other ways I could get rid of these cheaply and try and regain 'most' of the money back in my pocket?
Much appreciated, thanks for reading!!

how about trying to sell thanks on hotukdeals or trying to swap them for something
Make £200 by end of January... £20.42/£200
Grocery Challenge £200 pm Jan £0/£200
January no spend days - 1/310 -
Just trying to be creative here (and probably more hassle than it's worth), but could you wait until there's an amazing unbeatable deal on at M&S (say 50% off some item that cannot be found as cheaply elsewhere), buy £75 of goods, wait until the offer ends and the products can only be bought at the higher price, then sell what you bought on eBay for 10% more than you paid to cover your selling fees....?
Yeah - it'd probably be too much hassle for me, too!0 -
ALL ideas are good ideas guys thanks for your imput I will have a think!!

Why not Gumtree? That way you won't need to pay commission. Or find someone that shops at M&S anyway and just ask for a direct swap?0

Could you give them as Xmas presents to people???Life is like a box of chocolates..........you always seem to pick the hard ones!0

Perhaps you could check that M&S basic weekly products (bread, milk etc) are hugely more expensive than what you would buy at ASDA? If they are only 10% more expensive then you may as well spend your vouchers on the normal shop done in M&S and treat yourself to better quality food
. You could also buy presents for giving out throughout the year for birthdays with them, such as jams or discounted after Christmas stuff.

Treat yourself. Get nice clothes, things for the house, a new TV, maybe some furniture (assuming you can spend the vouchers online).0
