slipperywhensparticus · 31/03/2020 16:28

Ooh including "non essential" percy pigs? Looks good

Percy pigs are essential if you're shopping at Marks' 😂

Here's the Morrisons link from my other thread, if anyone needs it: www.morrisons.com/food-boxes/boxes

It's a shame they don't do a vegetarian one like Morrisons.

whatswithtodaytoday · 31/03/2020 16:34

Out of stock. Shame, I was trying to get one for my parents who haven't been able to get a delivery slot.

HermioneWeasley · 31/03/2020 16:35

The Morrisons box has more actual food and fresh food in it. M&S has three portions of protein, all tinned 🤮

TheReluctantCountess · 31/03/2020 16:35

They’re already out of stock.

peachypetite · 31/03/2020 16:36

Looks great!

middleager · 31/03/2020 16:36

Thanks

RunningKatie · 31/03/2020 16:37

Percy pigs!

Marieo · 31/03/2020 16:38

There doesn't seem much actual meal food there? Thank you though OP, it's really useful to know about these boxes just in case.

GinnyStrupac · 31/03/2020 16:42

Out of stock.

lentenwonder · 31/03/2020 16:42

Looks good to me, yum!

KenDodd · 31/03/2020 16:43

Prime corned beef (205g)
Wild Alaskan red salmon (213g)

That's a food box for pensioners isn't it!

browzingss · 31/03/2020 16:45

It seems they did have a vegetarian option but it instantly sold out so has been taken off the website completely. It was £5 cheaper so I’m assuming it’s the exact same contents without the meat products.

LakieLady · 31/03/2020 16:46

Loving the idea that sweeties, chocolate and posh biscuits are essential items.

They appear to have forgotten the wine, though.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 31/03/2020 16:46

Why no bread or milk but 2 kinds of chocolate? Don’t get me wrong who doesn’t want a bit of chocolate right just seems a weird choice to have 2 bars but no milk or bread product.

Also what do you eat the baked beans with from that selection?

If your desperate with no volunteers doing shopping and no family to help, they are a good idea though

adaline · 31/03/2020 16:47

It's out of stock sadly. Looks good though!

goingoverground · 31/03/2020 16:49

Thanks for posting that.

I'm a bit disappointed with M&S's offering - no fresh meat, no fruit or veg, not even tinned, no bread milk or other basics, cheap tinned meals and expensive luxury treats. It all seems insubstantial, cheap and nasty for the price. Even if they can't offer fresh meat because they don't have the right packaging/refrigerated vans, they could put in items like apples, carrots, potatoes, part baked bread etc

If anyone lives near a BP garage that has an M&S Simply Food, they are starting to deliver via Deliveroo.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 31/03/2020 16:49

Now if only it was all dark chocolate, that'd be great!
