I’m a fan of the Sparks card, I always load the offers onto my card, and wait to buy clothes until there’s an offer of 20% off. I also use it for food offers if they are something I buy anyway, and put things I won’t use immediately in the freezer. I had a free loaf of farmhouse bread this week on my card.
Me too. I have a number of things I buy and re buy and catch them on a 20% day. I have never failed to be helped by an M n S customer service person except once.
I'm not a fashionista so can't honestly comment on their range this year. I get my undies, face cream, their heatgen tops (fab) and their trousers which have FOUR choices of leg length in the range I buy. I get all my face care products from them, their Formula Range is mid price and very good.
YES I agree that quality is compromised, things don't last as long, and its sad but its because they have had to remain competitive in a mass market.
BUT - not point in harking back to the Good Old Days and I can still afford them and I simply cannot afford more expensive brands. (Also M n S now also do Whitestuff and some Phase 8 if you want more upmarket.)
Delivery is free to my local M n s foodie store 5 minutes drive, often next day delivery.
Yes some sales items sell out in my size very quickly but that's the luck of the draw with sales. Its exactly the same on the TU website when they have a sale and ditto if I look into a JL sale.
