What do you buy in M&S food that makes you shop there?

I don't understand why people pay the prices? What is so special?

Spicy mango chutney. That's about it

It's easy to park , it's never crowded so convenient for the odd bits. I
would rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon then endure ASDA which is next door

My local M and S is well crowded, was in there the other day to spend a gift voucher, prices were steep, would never shop there on a day to day basis.

there fresh bakery stuff and the cooked meats are fantastic - only ever get our french sticks from M&S

Like waitrose, m & s eggs are a higher welfare standard; fresh meat on equivalent offers to other supermarkets but better quality, higher standard, better options - e.g. Parmesan stuffed veal meatballs.

Fruit and veg while yes you can pay premium compared to value ranges is good quality, tastes good and lasts unlike I did particularly Morrisons fresh produce can be poor.

M&S also do nice own brand lines of soup etc, cleaning products aren't tested on animals, bread is gorgeous too.

I could go on but I'll stop there xxx

If you have to ask, you won't appreciate it!! So much of the stuff they sell is superior to that sold elsewhere.

Dark soy sauce, not filled with rubbish and half the price of similar sauces.

Towser

Salads, delicatessen, sushi

Lightly dusted and seeded haddock (or cod) fillets but only when on 3 for £10. Also their cook-in/pasta sauces when on 3 for 2.

I don't, I find them very overrated and expensive!

I once had a £25 voucher to spend in there and it took me ages to decide what to use it on (wanting value for money), in the end I bought some Lamb Chops having to add another £3 or so to it (and there were not that many chops) when we came to eat them they were nothing to shout about and could have bought better, cheaper elsewhere. Never been a great M&S fan even for their clothing which mostly seems frumpy.
