Times / M&S Cook! Offer

Options
Hi, used the M&S coupon from the Times giving 50% off when you buy from the Cook! range today. Thought it only applied to one coupon per item - or BOGOF at best. Went today and even assistant didn't know how it worked. Tested with 4 Cook! dishes and it took 50% off. So, went back with another coupon and bought some more. Spent 125.00 and saved 62.50 !! Can someone check the coupon - was this a till glitch? TIA

    Couponog says MAXIMUM 2 ... However M&S are funny ... Remember how the 3 for 2's online work on 33% off everything over 3 ...

  • Seems like the staff don't know how the coupons work. Bought 4 items today and presented 2 coupons. Assistant said that only 1 could be used. I said that it didn't say that on the coupon. Ended up putting the items through as 2 seperate transactions ! :confused:

    Normally don't buy stuff from M&S so looking forward to seeing what these are like. Also, they've Chineese meal for 2 for half-price - £4.99.

    The first time the assistant put through the 4 items and scanned and it automatically came up 50% off.

    The second time, at a different store, I used the self scanner and the till supervisor had to approve because the till did not recognise the coupon - and she remarked what a great deal it was. I said, that's me done, no cooking for a week.

    Wow, great offer, wonder whether there is a vegetarian option, I am going to ring M&S now to find out and if so I am off shopping! Thank you!

    Went in today and put all my stuff in' twos' with each voucher as that is how the gastropub one worked --if you put it all through together it takes off the cheapest items.BUT this time the SA said it should go through all together and we could void it if not .Scanned the items and the voucher after each two and it took off the right amount.saved 26 pounds( all i could carry on the bus home ) and only used one voucher !! have 3 more left to use when i can load up the car !!!!

    Wow, I used one voucher today and had no idea I could put several items on! I have one more I'll use Friday; I sure hope it works on more than two items as I'll be embarrassed if it doesn't! But that stuff is too expensive full price, so I'll leave anything they won't discount!

    Great post.

    Just wished I'd bought the Times now but after the last offer and lack of availability in my store I didn't bother!

    same here. I just got 2 vouchers, got to the store today and there was a huge selection of dishes and I only managed to get 4. I wish I had waited to read this thread, but I was too stressed to grab a bargain, since last time only the gastro chips were left!! Serves me right to be stressed... and not to have bought more times...

    I've looked online and theres an offer for cook 2 for £6, is this right?
    So do you get 50% off this then?

    Also what kind of meals did everyone buy?

    TIA :j
