M&S October Food Bargains

There are quite a few good deals at M&S in the Food Dept at the moment.
I'm not going to do a massive list, just thought I would point out some of the better offers.

1/2 price Oakham chickens are back, think they are about £1.99/kg. At this price I think they are a very good buy.

If you buy any 3 stickered items from the Italian range then you get a free oil/vinegar drizzler and pasta bowl set (this sells separately for about £4-ish).

Fresh soups (ones in the chillers) are buy one get 2nd half price.
Tinned soups are on 3 for 2.

Cookies are on a 2 for £2 deal, includes blueberry and oat, pistachio and almond, chocolate chip.

99p chocolate teacakes are back.

Buy 2 ready to roast joints and get a carving board free.

Christmassy things that can be stocked up on now as the dates last beyond Christmas are:
Biscuit cartons are save £1.50 at £2.99 each.
3 for £5 on Cherry Liqueurs, Operetta (similar to Ferrero Rocher), Nougat, Turkish Delight and Dark Choc Mint Truffles, good for presents.
Save £3 on alcohol creams- cream liqueur, hot or not chocolate liqueur, white chocolate and vanilla and a new one that is milk chocolate and orange.

There are many more offers in store.

Please say what offers you thought were bargains and also what offers weren't so good. Thanks.:beer:

    I love the pistachio cookies too, they are my fave in that range. I definitely have to buy one of the chickens, really enjoyed it last time but maybe I will get one of my flatmates to cook it though.:o
  • Thanks! - Them chocolates in the red box that are on offer at £2.99 are a right steal, and once ive got my staff discount they come to about £2.30!!!!

    The chocolate selection are a very good buy, especially as a very similar selection is being sold by a chocolatiers for over double the price. They taste lovely.

    I just want to add that the stickered items include 99p garlic baguettes and 49p mini packs of grated Parmesan, so you could potentially get the free drizzler & bowl for spending as little as £1.47 (although the Parmesan was out of stock in my store and I suspect it will be in short supply for the duration of this offer!).

    Nevertheless, it's still a great deal if you get 3 garlic baguettes, and they can be frozen too. The drizzer and pasta bowl comes in a nice presentation pack and makes a great Xmas present.

    I've never seen 49p mini packs of Parmesan and I work there! They sound great (if you like parmesan!) No one single store gets every food item that M&S sell though. I will be getting a few garlic baguettes before the offer ends :)
    A couple more things are the melting middle chocolate puddings are 2 packs for £3, one pack costs £2.49 so for an extra 51p you can have another pack and they can be frozen as well.
    The pistachio and almond cookies, blueberry and oat and sultana cookies are £1.79 each but 2 for £2 so for an extra 21p you can get another packet.
