M&S deals

You can get the M&S 'Beauty Discovery Edit'* set for £30 online and in 56 M&S stores, while stock lasts – you can use the 'Find in store' feature on the product page to see if it's available in a store near you. The box includes nine make-up, skincare and haircare items from L'Occitane, Nuxe, Living Proof, Murad, Arkive and more – see the full list of what's inside.

Delivery's £3.99 or you can collect in a store for free.

M&S says items in the beauty box would normally cost £95 if you were to buy them separately, which matches with our own calculations. Thousands of sets will be available, but we've seen beauty boxes such as this sell out fast, so it's best to go quick if you want it.

What’s in the box?

Here's what you get, plus the cheapest price we found if bought separately when checking on Tuesday 27 August:

• Nuxe Florale Oil (10ml) – £10 at Cult Beauty
• Apothecary Warmth Fragrance (50ml) – £12 at M&S
• Murad Retinal Youth Renewal Serum (5ml) – £14 at Lookfantastic
• Living Proof Clarifying Detox Shampoo (30ml) – £2.98 based on the full-size 236ml version at Amazon

Popular high-street retailer M&S* has launched an 'up to 50% off' sale online and in stores. 

When we checked on Friday 2 August, there were over 9,000 items discounted online across men's, women's and kids' clothing, plus home and beauty. As well as its own-brand items, it also includes brands such as White Stuff, FatFace, and Joules. What's discounted in-store will be dependent on what's in stock at that particular location.

As it's a sale, availability of some items are likely to be limited, so go quick if there's something you're after. Here are a few examples we found of decent discounts:

• M&S Collection pure cotton ditsy floral parachute trousers (6-16 years)* – £8.50, were £20.
• M&S Collection kids’ boat shoes* – £9, were £22.
• M&S Collection oversized pure cotton short sleeve rugby shirt* – £13, was £30.
• FatFace tile print swim shorts* – £19, were £38. Next cheapest, £38 at FatFace.
• White Stuff pure cotton embroidered shirt* – £29, was £59. Next cheapest, £38 at White Stuff and John Lewis.
• Crew Clothing jersey floral V-neck midi tea dress* – £32 was £65. Next cheapest, £45 at Crew Clothing.
• M&S Collection tailored double breasted blazer*  – £32, was £79.

If you're buying online, delivery's £3.99, or free if you're spending £60 or more. In-store click & collect is also free. 

M&S may not always be the cheapest place to buy branded items, even in a sale, so always compare prices elsewhere to check you're getting a good deal.

What does ‘up to 50% off' mean?

If you fancy a pizza, but want to save your dough, this M&S meal deal could be one for you.

Go into an M&S (find your nearest*) and you can pick up its £12 Pizza Night dine-in meal deal which includes two pizzas and two sides. M&S says this'll feed four. This is an on-going offer with no end date. A pizza would usually cost £6 by itself, so with another and two sides, we think this is good value.

What's on the menu? 

The M&S website* lists 11 pizzas and 14 sides to to mix and match as you wish (subject to availability).  A few highlights we spotted on the menu include:

Pizzas 🍕

• Stonebaked smoky BBQ chicken
• Stonebaked feta and caramelised onion
• Plant Kitchen stonebaked vegan three cheese

Sides 🥦

• Chicken munchies
• Dirty fries
• Garlic doughballs

M&S is offering a 'Grooming Edit'* set for £30, while stock lasts. It contains seven products from big brands such as L'Occitane, REN and Clinique – see below for the full list.

M&S reckons the contents are worth £100, although we've worked out you can buy all the items separately for £93.10 when factoring in current discounts.

If ordering online, delivery's £3.99 and can take 2-4 days, or you can collect in a store for free, which is usually available the next day. The box is also available in some M&S stores – select 'Find in store' on the product page* to see if there are any in stock near you.

M&S beauty and grooming boxes are popular with MoneySavers, so if you want this it's best to go quick.

There are always ways to save money at M&S*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.

Ways to save include:

• Free Click & Collect. Every online purchase is eligible for free Click & Collect and there's no minimum spend required. 


• Try haggling. In May 2016 we polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had most success and M&S came in the top 10, with a 39% success rate - so it's worth a go. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.


• Check the online offers page. The M&S offers page* lists offers from all departments - these are often on multi-buys, so it's worth checking if you need to buy more than one of something.


• Check out similar retailers, for example John Lewis. If you're not committed to buying from M&S, check out our deals from John Lewis, House of Fraser, and Very, where there may be a better offer.


• Had a problem with M&S? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to M&S*.
