M & S are doing "woopsies"!

Well, my local one in Blackpool town centre were on Sunday.....quite a few salads had yellow reduced stickers on, along with the normal packs of strawberries which were £1!

Don't know if any other stuff was being reduced.....didn't have time to look or to ask, but will do next time I am in :)

    floss2 - it's a new policy, my DD1s Bf works for M&S food and I think they started about a week or so ago.
  • bet the staff aren't too happy, the staff shop used to be quite a privilege, spesh when loafs of lovely bread were 10p each

    But they need to become more cost effective......should have done it years ago ;)
  • well i'll be keeping an eye out, might ask OH's mate ( m&s food manager!) what time they are starting, as they shut at 10pm i'd imagine it would be about 8ish

    I used to work for M and S when I was a student-my favourite nights were when they had loads of sandwiches left and used to sell them to staff for a penny. Those were the days...

    I used to work for M&S when I was a student, and any food that wasn't sold to staff at the end of Saturday (before Sunday trading!) was taken to various shelters around the town. So they said!

    My M&S has been doing price reductions for a couple of weeks now, but that just brings things down to normal prices. :rolleyes:

    This is a good thread for the Shop but Don't Drop board so I'll move it across.

    M&S isn't ridiculously expensive for food anyway. Woopsies have been in place from the 31st. Staff shop is still pretty good though :)
