Does anyone know when M & S reduce their food?

Does anyone know when M & S start reducing their Christmas food e.g. turkey, etc?

Thanks

Not much idea for christmas turkey, but when i was at work and on a late lunch, around 2.30/3pm they use to start reducing food in my local. I'm guessing they might hold off a little longer on christmas eve? Maybe close to closing you might get lucky Hope this helps x

Check on their website if your local store is closed on christmas day. it looks like some will be open this year when i checked

I worked at an M&S Simply Food last year and we had major problems with stock management. For that reason on Christmas Eve we started doing first reductions around 10.30am (lots of reductions to do as you are checking for 3 days worth of stock, and more customer = more interruptions etc).

With a more organised store I would guess that they would start off with modest reductions at this time but that the real bargains will start to kick in around 3ish

Our local m&s told us they have stopped major reductions, as any leftover food gets donated to homeless shelters, which is a great idea.

My local M&S started to reduce the Christmas food stock (turkey, beef, ham, cheese...etc) at 10ish in the morning and only by 50% last year. It didn't reduce any further until closing time.

my local M&S is always heaving so cant see them having many reductions, they didnt last year

They very rarely have any reductions of more than about £1 off normally

I went in yesterday and a lot of the shelves were getting restocked, apparently it is heaving this morning so dont think I will bother going to look

That's really nice!

I don't think i'll bother with my local M&S as i can't see there being that many reductions? I was in there at 7.30am two days ago and they had run out of trolleys :eek:

I really wanted those chocolate dessert crackers that are on the M&S advert but then found out they were £12!

There will be no chance of them getting reduced though, by all accounts they've been flying off the shelves as soon as they come in.

Marks at Deepdale in Preston had started reducing when I was in there a 2 pm ish. Not by much though and none of the Xmas food. They had hardly any 'party' stuff left. No christmassy desserts.
