Just seen this advertised.

Free bottle of Cava (or other selected wines or soft drinks) when you buy 3 selected party foods at Marks and Spencer.

Starts 29th December. Ends 1st January ?

Think it could be this one (came top in a review in Daily Mail):

NV Marks & Spencer Prestige Cava, Spain (£8.49, reduced to £6.49 until 1 January, Marks & Spencer). My favourite inexpensive wine of the year is this shockingly pure and sophisticated Cava. Served ‘blind’ no one would be able to guess that it is only a six pound wine. This is a brilliant party fizz with more class than you could ever imagine.



I am certain there are some party foods at £3.99 a pack (might even be one at £2.99) so works out better value than the 3 for 2 before Christmas.

    It didnt seem to be the prestige cava on offer in our local M & S this morning with the party foods. Just the regular cava.
  • great offer, will this work if you buy party food that has been reduced because of best before date ?
  • Just gt back and they had stacks of foods and drinks.

    Can confirm it includes all types prestige cava - dry, rose and normal - all marked at £8.49 in our marks.

    Food starts at £2.99 and so can get the offer for £8.97 all in.

    There isn't (I've looked) but it includes stacks of things and they all seemed to have a sticker on saying they were in the deal.

    It won't as the yellow barcodes that they put on over ride what the product is and a reduced item therefore becomes just that - a reduced item. Therefore it is no longer a product that qualifies for a deal.

    A couple of years ago this "prestige" Cava was £3.49 a bottle (£7 each on BOGOF) with 15% off if buying 6 bottles. We bought 6 bottles and it was vile. A friend produced a bottle at Christmas and its the same stuff. M&S should be ashamed.
  • I also noticed the following in the offer:


    2 x Irish Coffee in glasses

    2 x Brandy Hot Chocolate in glasses


    These are nice little items at this time of year and whilst they are priced at £4.99 they make a good alternative to the (supposed) £8.49 Cava.:o

    Went and had a look at thiis one last night....as we always have an M&S new years eve and in honesty I didnt think it was as good an offer as they have had in previous years where they have done a dine in style pick 3 things and a bottle for £x

    Usually I would have opted for a fish/prawn, something meaty, and something else but mostly the things that were taking my fancy were in the £5+ price range so it would probably have worked out at between £15 and £20 for the deal...

    Ive plenty of fizz left over from christmas so I couldnt even justify it that way either...so ive headed off to Sainsburys this year where in my local the deal in the chiller cabinet is buy one for £3 and get one free from quite a large selection...

    This year we have
    8 tempura prawns
    10 butternut squash risotto balls
    10 duck spring rolls
    12 chorizo bites
    king prwan selection
    12 mini cheese bites
    10 vegetable moneybags
    3 dip selection

    Total price £12

    Sainsburys also have 3 for £5 in the frozen and I believe a bottle of champagne is £12...so this year we will welcome in the new year without M&S for the first time in many years...happy new year all!....
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend
