M&S Food Reduced - everyday !

£0.50

435°

FOUND BY: soled73 6 months, 1 week ago

M&S have a commitment to reduce landfill etc etc, as a result they now reduce items daily that are nearing their sell-by date. The same as other supermarkets.

I've just been and picked up

Family pack of haddock - normally £7.48 - bought for £2
Lobster £20, bought for £8
Fresh chicken £5.58, bought for £3
Lamb £5, bought for £2
Cakes 79p to 50p
etc
etc

I was in the store at 4.30pm (Leeds) and there were loads of bargins - I reccon they start reducing at around 4pm daily,

Enjoy.

The reducing is only in selected stores as it is on trial to seee how much waste marks and spencers can reduce also how much money if any can be made.

also it does not start at 4pm nowhere near that time, i know the time as i work for marks and spencers

another perk taken from staff
- caroline072

also it is only food on that day which gets reduced not nearing the date as you put it
just to clarify
- caroline072

I thought they used to give all of their unbought food which is at the end of it's sell by date to homeless shelters. That's what my Mother used to tell me anyway.

I'm thankful for the info, it means I'll check out M&S at the end of the day when otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Thank you.

staff gets to buy them if the customers don't buy them.. you can get up to half the retail price ... just buy them and freeze them so you can keep them for longer...

M&S do not do (Close to sell buy) discounts.
The staff canteen has fridges, and shelfs for this sort of thing to be sold cheap, but it should never be offered to customers.

Suprised by this, and have emailed head office about the "leeds" store..

It is against company policy.

They used to give away to shelters, charity, but have stopped this in the last 12 months due to the threat of legal action if anything is wrong.

Chiptivo I think your wrong - my freind is also at the huge Pudsey store in Leeds NOW, they've also got reduced items. they're easy to spot - they have large yellow stickers on.

just to confirm this is a different store to the one I visited.

At the Morissons I work at they reduce stuff by a stupid amount so it never sells and they end up chucking it all out.
I saw some kid who works in the pie shop (yuck!) dragging a bag of unsold items out the back to be chucked out.
It was so heavy he couldn't even lift it!
It's disgusting the amount of food they chuck out!
