10% off on wine already so it's 30%.

the groutch

you get 10% off when you buy 6 bottles, and then the 20%, making it 28% off

Wonder is this in the UK as well - I am in London at the mo.

Will the 20% off in M&S include their boxes of biscuits (e.g. 2 boxes shortcake biscuits,now priced at 2 for e10) .Or do you think the food section , including mince pies etc will be excluded from offer ?

brettmirl

Don't forget the 2 can dine for 12.50 deal will be on too in the food hall.

as far as I know, none of the above are included

whatsupdoc?

M&S Tallaght had great value in some mens suits today.
Jacket was reduced from €90 to €45 and trousers reduced from €60 to €30 so suit was €75 with a further 20% off today cost me €60 :eek:

Linku

Does that mean there's 20% off the technology that's not already in any offer? They have some neat bedroom HDTV/DVD players...

Little A

Just back - bought 12 bottles of vino & just realalised the 20% wasn't taken off:mad:

brettmirl

They should sort it out if you bring back the receipt.

I've just double checked my receipt...and I've noticed, they even gave the 20% discount on the Government plastic bag levy!

oneweb

I read on the examiner's (or similar) front page (which I didn't buy 'cos of the stupidly long queue in Tesco Talbot St yet again) that today's 20% sale was a desperate attempt to clear stock.

Lots of interesting facts and figures in an online copy of the same article

Anyway, got a few 3-for-2 things reduced in homewares, the Dine for €12.50 deal wasn't reduced nor were the blueberries or mince pies but hey, the €10 saving more than made up for them

copacetic

arnotts and debenhams are both having similar offers at the mo according to ads in papers. It people held out, the sales in mid to late december will be stunning value.

cfriel2002

Given that most of the UK retailers are working off a ~ 1.45 exchange rate good to see them passing back some of the extra profits they've been making of us ....... what next ??? Will Next / Oasis et all.. start levelling their prices ???

Indeed they did - they chap on the check-out in Blanch was telling everybody - they were handing out free chocolates and samples of port upstairs. Looked at my receipt - two dinners for two (including two bottles of Spanish Cava) - some soup and a roll for my lunch and two boxes of biscuits for a tenner - total savings according to the receipt was €36.

Bought my self some clobber for the Christmas and something for the missus saved over €30.

At this rate the sales AFTER Christmas are going to be serious value !!:D

i'd say it actually was but just not listed as a separate discount. i bought a couple of bottles of wine last night that were listed on the shelf at 7.99 but the receipt had them at 6.39 whereas all the clothes i bought had the discount listed underneath. probably due to the fact that upstairs there was a general 20% discount applied but in the food hall it was only on wine. i wonder if you'd brought food upstairs to pay for would you have got 20% off up there???

emc2

I popped into M&S yesterday, has anyone else noticed that they have removed the UK prices on all items, usually there's a tearaway strip wit the uk price on it. It just add to the idea that we're getting totally ripped off with the exchange rate.

spanner_head

I didn't think wine was included in the 20% deal....I believe it was champers only.

I could be wrong though.

dereko1969

wine was definitely included, for some reason they listed champagne separately. i got manzanilla sherry (don't ask) and it was included.

mathie

I heard this might be on again today.

Can anyone confirm?

Cheers

brettmirl

There's nothing on their website about it...so I doubt it.

I heard similar

the groutch

it's all just rumour at the moment

tabatha

heard yesterday it was going to be on december 4th

the groutch

would go hand-in-hand with the also rumoured special christmas dine for 2

Gran Hermano

I'm just back from the shops, was in M&S and didn't notice any specials
apart from some discount on cases of wine.

whatsupdoc?

I'd say there will be loads of offers from retailers as they experience the
"Northern Run" over the next few weeks.

I was told in M&S there will be another 20% day this coming Thursday.

also there is 25% off wine at the moment (when you buy 6 or more) - does anyone know how long this will run for? Looking to get a few bottles for christmas. Is it valid in N.I. also? It doesn't say on the website....

I'd say it is - my sister in law in England heard about this last week.

the groutch

the 25% was supposed to be running all this week, but was stopped early because of the offer supposedly coming up on thursday

otherwise it'd be 25% and 20% (and staff taking another 20%)

muckety

Hmmm so will the 25% return?

And the standard 10% off for 6 or more bottles - will that apply on top of the 20% off everything giving 30% off wine? This gets more interesting, they have some nice wines!

Actually as someone pointed out already, it's 10% off, then 20% off, so 28%!

Yeah, there was a guy on GMTV this morning saying the same thing, so fingers crossed.

Just back from M&S Dundrum - it's heaving (was at 10.30 this morning even :eek:). The 20% off is fine but just realised how much we're being scammed with Sterling/Euro prices, e.g. items that are £5 are €7.75 not €5.78 as the online currency converter says it should be. So the 20% off still doesn't even bring it down to the same as UK prices, unless it's combined with another offer like the 3 for 2 which does then make it worthwhile. And then they don't want us heading up North......:mad::rolleyes:

Is it on this Thursday the 11th Dec?

2 chances of them having another one, zero and none

Oh. Had my eye on some tableware she wanted. Feck; I will go somewhere else.

Was in there (Liffey Valley) at lunchtime. Medium crowd, but very few at the tills (buying).

Do you think they will run another 20% event before xmas - eg next Thurs - bought wine in N.I. at UK prices + 28% discount, worked out at about half full Irish price, a friend is hoping to do the same next week if it runs again!

boopolo

I do hear that they are skipping a week. There are several reports that they will have it again on the 18th Dec. They could be just rumours at this stage.

Cannot see M&S anouncing it though, as it would affect their current business. Their last two sales wern't officially anounced until a day or two before. It would also be in managments favour not to let staff know either, as many staff provide forums like here with the information.

According to the my uk source there is a post on the forum section of the website www.moneysavingexpert.com suggesting that the the dinner for two offer for a tenner (€12.50 here) is back again from this Thursday - dont know how valid this is

brettmirl

It's been mentioned already on a thread in this forum. Tis happening alright.
