    I have to say M&S clothes are good but so overpriced I wouldn't normally buy anything full price. My years clothes was usually done at the start of the year.

    There were further reductions at the store I went to today, but nothing like the managers reductions of other years. They are not working from a list at a till this year, it's being done with a pricing gun ...therefore i'm guessing the prices will be the same in all stores, unlike last year.
    Most of the prices seemed to be £2-3 less than last week/yesterday.
  • I had to pick up my order i made before we have all the snow and stumbled on the further reductions nearly everything was £1 but i was 5 mins a bit too late as the stampeed had started and people were just grabbing everything they could. I got 4 items, best bargain was a £12 kids winter jumper for £1 but hubby got the best bargain ever while i had gone to collect my order. He got a suit and shirt for £11 instead of over £100 he was chuffed.

    Been to Teesside retail park again today. A bit cheaper than last week but still not worth the trip (at least for me). Still too expensive for non-returnable items.
    Goal: Win a car (or cash to buy one :))! -- Haha goal from when I was a student. Never actually won this but got a good job instead.

    What I achieved:
    Car paid in full straightaway.
    Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!

    nearly everything was £1 and a stampede, shoulda been on sky news!! :eek:

    bur seriously does the managers reductions really exist, so you just pick any item you like and when you put it through the till its magically reduced :p

    In Glasgow yesterday I asked a member of staff if anything is likely to be reduced further, and they said no. Not that much left though except for Bras, but some things were still only 50% off (although the price could be further reduced once you get to the till obviously)

    Nothing like all the £3 stuff I got last year - I just happened to be in the store as the Manager & staff were going around reducing everything, and got some great bargains!

    I've had a few nice things online that were good prices, but will have a nose in both stores when I'm there on Sunday........just in case! :)

  • I popped in today, as others suggested only £2-3 off last week's prices. As little as 25p off some underwear! Maybe they won't bother with managers reductions, I think a lot now goes to outlet stores and the outlet website and is sold for much more than the last sale prices! Maybe they've worked out it's not making them much money flogging it for cheap at the end of a sale!

    I didn't know about these reductions but came across the rail whilst looking for boots for youngest dd

    Got eldest (7 but in age 8) some black school trousers for £2

    A school bag she will love for £3.75. And a calendar for 50p. I'd been searching for a cheap calendar for her they usually have loads but I've not seen any other really cheap calendars so far this yr

    Bluewater update from Friday - a few items were further reduced, stickers on them skirts £3.50, very few though and sizes were 8 and 20,22

    Loads of trousers and tops, few dresses, couple of coats - prices not managers reduction

    I reckon you need to go through thoroughly and see if item has extra reduced price stickers

    I'll stop by again Sunday as I need to pick up my Zara order
