Very excited that a new M&S food store has opened up where I live. What are your must buys? I'm going to create a wish list shopping list to start working my way through.

All the fresh fruit, salad & veggies. Yes, they are more expensive than other supermarkets. But on taste & quality there is just no comparison.

Gastropub / Best Ever mains, in particular the lasagne, fish pie & chicken Kyiv. So ridiculously good that there is no point slaving over making your own.

Apricot Danish from the in-store bakery. Unbelievably yummy.

The iced fruit buns (the same ones you can get in the cafe). But even better, is the lemon ones, they're filled with lemon curd. I could eat 4 of them.

TheRealKatnissEverdeen · 26/01/2024 21:09

Frozen
Veg spring rolls
Potatoes rostis
garlic baguette

Fresh
Ginger shots
Butter but too lazy to get up and check the label for you. Sorry!
Large beef meatballs (6 in pack and comes with sauce to heat)
Deli coleslaw
Bao buns for you to fill yourself
£8 stir fry deal that I cooked today (see attached pic). Meat free options available also.
Mint tea

Bread. I always find the sliced bread has good best before dates which see me through the week for school breakfasts.

This is my short list. As you can probably tell, I love most things.

Enjoy!

I love the M&S bakery individual chocolate muffins and also the chocolate covered chocolate digestives (in the purple packet). I was in M&S this afternoon and spent far too much money. 😀

Gettingcoldergettingolder · 26/01/2024 21:54

The lemon cake slices with the icing on top. I went from not liking lemon cake to those being my favourite cakes ever!

Ohyoudodoyou · 26/01/2024 21:55

Peanut butter beats all others in my view.
