M&s Meal Deal

[ethandron]

It's on again, for anyone interested.
Just back from our local food only m&s. Picked up two sirloin steaks, two chicken breasts in a rarebit sauce with leeks, some garlic mushrooms, a pack of potato rosti, a Mississippi mud pie, and a bramley apple lattice. A bottle of Italian fizz and a French red were the wines I chose. All for £20. Not bad eh?

Very nice. We'll all be around at about 7pm then.
Which one are we starting with ?

[ethandron]

Fizz to welcome you, then help yourself. Get here earlier than 7pm though or it'll all be gone, we eat early in this establishment.

it is on nearly ever week now - wish my freezer would hurry up and get used

[ummmm]

Brilliant deals. I just wish M&S was closer...

[ethandron]

JJ it's on something like every three weeks, they don't tell you in advance, you just have to keep checking the website or sign up for text alerts from them.
When it is on, I always buy two, we eat one the same day and freeze the other. Even though some of the items say don't freeze, I do, and haven't had any disasters..yet!
These two I bought today have both gone in the freezer though, Ive taken out a shepherds pie from one of the previous deals to have this evening.

Those deals seem to be weekly by me. I always pop in there when I'm in town which is 2-3 times per week. Since I don't drive,shopping is little and often. They've also had a buy 4 deli items for £10,get a bottle of wine for free.

My good Lady works part time in M&S and can confirm the £10 Meal Deal is now on virtually every week.
And with Staff Discount too ;0))

[ethandron]

I could be wrong, and I know they do have other deals like pizza and prosecco and things like that, but the last dine in for a tenner with free wine was on 10th August, I just checked the text alert I got. The previous one was 14th July, and the one before that 23rd June.
It's definitely not on every week where I shop, good job really, I'd be bankrupt :)

ah, two, I was thinking that was a heck of a meal.

Tesco's aren't bad these days either, though for some reason they can have lots of mains and yet run out of sides - I mean, don't they put equal numbers of all courses out? For a while all retailers just had 18 different sorts of chicken but they're being a bit more inventive now.
