A treat from an M&S

[bluechilli47]

Is not a free loaf of bread?
Are things that bad that a loaf of bread is now considered a treat?

I use the M&S app and go on the sparks section and has different offers. Every now and then there is a freebie.

I also want to know how to get the free treats.

I’ve had free sweets, handwash, room spray, candle and body lotion ( I didn’t take the candle or lotion though as I don’t use them and no one else I knew wanted them at the time either so it would have been a waste to accept them)

I’ve not had any freebies for ages though just 10% off knickers and jumpers all the time! They must be telling me something…….

You just sign up to the free sparks card and download the app and offers will be added in your app weekly

Yes they are definitely a treat! Lovely bread.

A pan loaf, not so much (but wouldn’t say no to free)

I’m in awe. This is the dream.

Amen.

Maybe you could wrap it round that petted lip and have yourself a sandwich 😉

My current one is grapes. I've had the loaf of bread. Also had bog roll, which turned out to be as much of a treat as sandpaper.

All more useful than a fucking smelly candle, mind, which my first treat was.

YANBU
I had a free farmhouse loaf and it was horribly pappy, very disappointing. It's a shame it wasn't a baguette.
This has been the only treat I haven't liked though, I or the DC have appreciated all the others.

The annoying thing is you have to physically load the offers. If you're buying something with an offer but haven't loaded it you end up paying the full price.
This is the same with Sainsbury's scan as you shop offers too!

@brighterthanthemoon I do- it's not the only shop and we aren't loaded- but I value quality over quantity when it comes to food and there's only2 of us and we don't eat that much bread

It is definitely a treat in our house. I was excited to see that it’s for a loaf of bread so if anyone is disappointed please send it my way. I love M&S fancy bread from bakery. Their Xmas loaf is £4. It’s quite expensive for a loaf of bread.
In the past we’ve received cookies and Percy pigs. We didn’t even bother to get them.

It would be nothing short of a miracle in this house!

I shop in M&S once a week......to pick up my mothers cottage cheese as she will only eat theirs.
As for "£4 is quite expensive for a loaf of bread" no it isnt. Its fucking exorbitant! I can cook a meal for all of us for £4!

You’ve just prompted me to check the app and yep, free loaf of bread for me too! I would say I pop in around once a fortnight but the only bread I ever buy are their baguettes so maybe they’re wanting me to try something different.

M&S bread is not expensive

I had pink ladies!

@CallieQ I had Jazz apples the other week. Make sure you look how many in a packet the freebie is for!

Some of M&S bread is cheaper than Hovis, Kingsmill, Warburtons etc.

My Sparks card freebies so far have been
3 loaves of bread
Cookies
Bar of Swiss Chocolate
Library of Fragrance Handwash
Apothecary Sleep Oil
£5 gift voucher
2 pairs of knickers
3pack of tights
Apothecary Hand Gel
Bunch of Daffodils
Random free scone or cake in the cafe (but I don't use the cafe)

Haven't won my shopping yet but maybe one day.
Have had plenty of 15/20% off clothes/beauty/homeware offers that I've used.

Was it the farmhouse loaf? Agree with others it's nice bread, I'm a bread lover so I would be happy.

Oh yes I've had jazz apples too
No freebies for me right now

Yes I think that’s how it works. I wish there was a way of telling them that the reason I haven’t bought their bread in years is because I have coeliac. I am so sick of them offering me the “treat” of gluten every week.

That is bad. They should have dietary preferences. Or even be able to work it out from the shit loads of data you've given them.

Eating M&S sourdough toast as I type.
Yummy!
