35notout · 11-09-2008 4:39pm #1

Just as the thread title suggests!!!

Just picked up a whole chicken, veg for roasting, berry terrrine and a bottle of red for 12.50!!!

Love this offer

MaxFlower · 11-09-2008 4:56pm

Just been in and got 3 of them(chicken with cheese bacon/toffee pud, lemon sole/jelly terrine and Gammon joint/choc fudge pud) . That's dinner sorted till Sunday. WooHoo!

lindtee · 11-09-2008 5:03pm

Thats great to know. Going to head there tomorrow.

Thanks to whoever gave me the information that you can have 2 x 1 litre juice instead of the wine. Still a bargain anyways.

On the last M+S thread it was said that this offer wouldn't be around any more due to a change in the law and selling cut price alchol. It was suggested that the drink could be replaced with the orange if this law was passed.

brettmirl · 12-09-2008 7:38am

And on the last thread that myth was shot down.

The new alcohol legislation is law already and does not effect this offer.

Grawns · 12-09-2008 8:44am

I saw 2 literes of pure OJ instead of the wine , the last time I was there. As I'm off booze it makes sense.

mathie · 12-09-2008 3:00pm

Apparently the wine is 9.50 normally!

Got - meatballs in tomato and cheese, microwaveable vegetable selection, spotted dick and a bottle of Pinot Grigio - nice one !!:D

If you get 6 lots you get an extra 10% off the wine. My freezer is pretty full. So is my wine shelf!! Happy days

Which was proven to be nonsense.

They are still offering a bottle of wine OR 2x1 litre juice.

35notout · 12-09-2008 7:59pm

With pricing like this Marks is beating Lidl and Aldi!!

brettmirl · 13-09-2008 7:19pm

Loads of stock for this offer in M&S Blanchardstown today!
Plus lots of variety too...even a lot of veggie options.

banchang · 13-09-2008 10:59pm

The wine this time is the French - in my view its pretty horrible, even if its practically free.

Last time out the full bodied South African Dolphin Bay was the red wine offer, & this was more than acceptable, but even at this price I wouldnt go for the French.

I chose the fresh OJ instead.

Get there early in the day to get the nice vegetable accompaniments

ThOnda · 14-09-2008 8:52am

josh59 - I got the same, only the OJ instead of wine. And I loved it. And I am seriously thinking about going for another one or two sets today :-)

There's a selection of at least 3 wines...

They had loads of stock in Dundrum at closing time today.

In Blanch branch (:D) some eejit left a caeser salad in the promotion section and we never checked our receipt till after we left the shop and it was closing so tool late to go back. Charged full price for everything! Am planning on calling to city centre branch tomorrow to rectify...

There are black circular "Dine for 2" offer stickers on the individual items which are part of the offer. Anything without does not qualify.

I know, but the shop was closing and I just picked the stuff up in a hurry.
I'm hoping they understand and at least discount the rest of the items to
12.50.

whiskeyman · 15-09-2008 9:29am

Is this still on today?
I'm so going back for more!!
That chocolate fudge cake is delish!!

ronbyrne2005 · 15-09-2008 9:36am

Mango desserts were nice as was hot fudge cake thing. Whole Cooked chicken, and veg were nice. Not a wine drinker but gonna bring wine to house warming parties coming up.

jimmycrackcorm · 15-09-2008 9:51am

I was in twice in Liffey Valley at the W/e and bought 6 of these offers. A superb bargain. I normally don't have desert with meals at home and these were especially nice. On both occasions, staff were refilling the stands as quickly as people were taking them off, it must be continuing.

I thought I heard mentioned in the radio ad for this promotion that it only runs from Thursday to Sunday - but I could be wrong

MunsterCycling · 15-09-2008 10:24am

So Monday morning / Sunday night some poor sap has to strip the shelves of these offers and put them back out Thursday morning / Wednesday night, I don't think M&S are that stupid.

They don't do this offer every weekend.

Seems to be averaging about once a month or so.

Sweet, very good M&S.

brettmirl · 18-09-2008 2:43pm

No - it usually just runs over a weekend, but hopefully, will be back again soon.

My missus was in M&S in Liffey of the Valley yesterday and said the offer wasn't on but they had a lot of other grub at 50% off and so on

brettmirl · 19-09-2008 10:36am

That's pretty standard to be honest.

They always have 'buy one, get one half price' or 'two for one' offers on something in there.

Tedious Bore · 22-09-2008 5:54pm

this deal is defo better than the standard 2 for 1 offers or buy one get another half price.

if anyone hears it's running again, please post to let us know.

M & S Dine in for two for 12.50 - its back!!!
