Marks and Spencer Sale Bargains

They seem to have fixed the store delivery problem - unless I was ordering things that didn't upset their system

I spent a voucher received for Xmas in the sale and really pleased with what I managed to get with £20:

I got a scarf and gloves set in store today for £4 from £12. Most things were not very big reductions though, generally not very impressed.

Still seems to be rather a lot left of the same gifts (all the tat) - I wasn't very impressed with the M&S gift range this year, the only real decent stuff was from the beauty ranges which they stock anyway - like the extracts & morrocan range & the branded gifts such as Crabtree & Evelyn & Roger & Gallet.

My opinion but they'll have to reduce the gifts that are left by a lot more to shift that stock!! I think also a they had so many great deals on before Christmas with 50% off that a lot of people bought them then so aren't bothered now.

Can usually get some nice clothes at the end of the sale though at a good price - there were still rails & rails left when I went in y'day but it's kinda pot luck as to if they have your size left.

I've heard that M&S will be re-vamping their website sometime this year since the long contract they (short sightedly) signed with the current provider runs out.

I've found the best place to get M&S bargains is actually in Oxfam. My local one seems to get loads of new M&S stuff still with its tags on which it sells at bargain prices e.g. bras and shapewear 2.99 kids pyjamas 99p, kids socks and underwear 3 for 99p and clothes for less than £5. Obviously it's pot luck what they get in, but if you're passing an oxfam its worth a look.

I believe you're correct. Their current provider is Amazon and M&S have reportedly decided to bring their online operation back in-house. It's expected to go live during the first quarter of this year.

Its probably the stuff people buy in sales to give as gifts just because it is cheap rather than because it is the perfect gift for a specified person- the generic non specific-wil do for someone gifts- that no-one wants and so when they get them so they regift or give to charity. Or items that we buy just because they are cheap- we dont want them or need them but we cant miss that bargain.

No its all stuff that comes direct from M&S, not donations from ordinary folk.

M&S support Oxfam - don't forget they have the shwop thingy & Oxfam used to give the £5 voucher when you took M&S clothes in to them.

It'll be end of line donations that they haven't sold. It's not just M&S that do this either. I remember being in an Oxfam a couple of years back and they had got loads of Boots gift wrap - the man behind the counter said they had brought it into them as a donotion.
