Hiya, We are getting our wedding cake from M&S and have been collecting vouchers and gift cards but are £40 short and before we pay the remainder I was wondering if anyone knew if there were anyway that I could get vouchers from for free like surveys etc or if any discount codes that come up work for wedding cakes or are they just for clothes normally? We are trying to save money where we can and we still have a few months before our wedding so thought I might try. Thanks

Oh also I saw in some posts ages ago that they bought them on 3 for 2, does this offer ever still come up?

    A few weeks ago I picked up some money off coupons in M&S, they include:

    £5 off when you spend £25 or more on food - valid 17-23 Jan 2013
    £5 off when you spend £25 or more on food - valid 24-31 Jan 2013

    I'm not sure when you are planning on buying your cake. Are you near a M&S to see if you can get hold of the vouchers.

  • I have been using Valued Opinions for surveys for about a year (or maybe a bit less) and have saved up some M&S vouchers as they are one of their pay out options. I wouldn't say it can be relied on though as lately I've been screened out of an awful lot of surveys. I have managed to save up about £40 in M&S vouchers though. I also got a£50 M&S voucher from Sky when we opened an account with them, but that is only worth it if you are planning on swapping to them!

    My employer (NHS) and my OH's employer have schemes for their employees where they can buy gift vouchers for a small discount - I think I can get M&S vouchers for 4 of 5% less than the cost. It's not a huge saving but might be worth checking if yours does, or if you know anyone who is able to do it for you?

    I have some of the £5 off a £25 spend.If you bought them seperately could you save 3 lots of £5.
