How to grab a bargain at the Marks and Spencers sale

The Marks and Spencer Sale kicks off on Christmas Day, but this post from the Money Off Shop can help you bag the bargains before the sale has even begun!

I've been a regular Marks and Spencer Christmas Day Sale shopper over the last 4 years, so here's my guide on how to get the best bargains and save yourself some time in the process!

1. Make list of the items you want (using the Marks and Spencer Sale Preview links below) before you visit the Marks and Spencer website to BUY (taking note of the product codes - the Txxx xxx numbers).

2. The Marks and Spencer online sale starts just after midnight on Christmas Day - BUT you can usually buy the stuff before then, at the SALE price (as all of the offers are already on the site but not available to the public.

3. Use the FREE Delivery code available to you:

FREENDAY is free nominated delivery day when you spend over £150 on the M&S website. NOTE: You MUST have selected nominated day delivery for this code to work.

Ok, last but certainly not least… the following links will take you to the Marks and Spencer Sale pages, which are NOT SHOWN on the main Marks and Spencer website YET.

All of these items will be in the M&S sale and the sale prices for each of them will ONLY be displayed when the sale starts (or maybe an hour or so before) - but at least you will know WHAT is going to be on sale.

You never know M&S might put the sales prices on before the sale goes live (it’s happened in the past) - so you’ll be able to beat the rush!

Good luck - I hope you have as much success as I usually do at the M&S Sale :-)

For those of you that didn't know already - the John Lewis sale has now kicked off with some items being half-price or less.

Marks and Spencers Sale Preview

Anyone regular M&S shoppers will know that the Marks and Spencers online sale is ALWAYS excellent - with an abundance of bargains to be had. I suppose the only downside is that it starts on Christmas Day - which obviously can make things a wee bit difficult.

Still being a dab hand at this now for over 3 years I'll share some tips with you to make it a lot easier :)

1. Make list of the items you want before you visit the Marks and Spencer website (taking note of the product codes - the Txxx xxx numbers).

2. The Marks and Spencers Online sale starts usually around 6am on Christmas Day - so don't bother waiting up until gone midnight, it isn't worth it!

3. Use the FREE Delivery codes available to you:

'FREEDELV' is standard free delivery when you spend over £30 on the M&S website
'FREENDAY' is free nominated delivery day when you spend over £150 on the M&S website

Ok, last but certainly not least... the following link will take you to the Marks and Spencers Sale pages, which are NOT SHOWN on the main Marks and Spencers website YET.

M&S Per Una Sale

Marks and Spencers appear to be getting into the sales started early, with the launch of a 50% sale on their Per Una range (yes I did say 50% sale).

The timing couldn't be better really could it? I mean the ladies can kit themselves out in some pukka Per Una clothes for the Christmas Parties and/or the fella's can treat their other half to some quality Christmas pressies from the M&S Per Una range.

Sounds like a winner to me whichever way you look at it! See you later, I'm off to flex my M&S credit card....
