M&S School uniform 3 for 2?

Last year, on the same offer, when you put 3 items in your basket, it took a third off each. It doesnt seem to be doing this any more. Has anyone ordered on the 3 for 2 on uniforms? Do you just get the cheapest of the 3 items free?
It's not showing up as you go through the checkout process, but I didnt get as far as card details yet.:confused:

    It might be, but I havent got an Asda near me and they dont do online here.:mad: I usually get M&S for schoolwear as I find it lasts well.

    I always get a headache when it's 3 for 2, cheapest free, cos I always want the best value IYKWIM and I dont want to buy 2 items for £18 each and a pack of tops for £4, cos then you just get the £4 off.:rolleyes: It's better to buy 3 items costing roughly the same lol.:D
  • Asda is cheaper, but the quality isn't as good as M&S.

    I ordered 6 trousers, 6 shirts and 1 jumper (not too sure what 'cashmillion' is!) for £36.00 - saving £21.50 (discount and free delivery). I placed the order on the 20th and have just got an e-mail to say that they have been dispatched.

    Thanks again to cheekyweegit who posted this on the Grabbit board :j

    I ordered 1 blazer,
    2 blouses
    cotton rich jumper,
    9 sweatshirts
    and 3 pkts of 3 polo shirts
    for £55 i was a bit worried that it might take the cheapest thing of the dearest thing ie £18 blazer and a £3 sweatshirt but it sorted them into price groups
    Number 4 due 21st jan

    it is and I do usually but from there but I am so fed up of the boys trousers as the hem on one leg always comes undone. Ive had this problem for years and thought i would check out the quality of M&S. My ordered has been dispatched so hopefully will get them monday. If they look good I am gonna order some more (3 boys!) esp as my eldest boys (twins) are starting secondary school this Sept.


    Oh and I find that Asda sweatshirts shrink badly.
