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 got the free bread. Sliced pan but not like the usual sliced pan I buy in the supermarket.
I didn't like it so won't be buying it.
It was nice to get it free but I would prefer the Tesco Clubcard or Boots card style loyalty card to the Sparks card.

I do love M&S crumpets toasted though.

Thanks for the reminder about the non food freebies.

I'd forgotten that I'd also got a fancy room spray set and I took it even though I'd never use it as I was there anyway and planned to donate it to the next raffle or similar fundraiser I saw so I must dig that out as there's bound to be a pre-Christmas opportunity.

It does make you wonder what all the data capture is in aid of. The only thing I ever visit their food hall for is their gluten free range (although I grab other stuff while I’m there).

Quite. Free stuff you don’t want and won’t use isn’t really a “treat”.

I haven't had the free bread yet. I got a bag of cookies last week and the bag of Percy pigs are still in the cupboard. Wouldn't mind the free bread. Can you pick a loaf from the bakery? I find their sliced bread is actually cheaper than what I buy in my local spar.

Last Christmas I got a free jar of Percy pigs which I gave away to family
I do like it when I get a free pastry

It’s not just bread it’s…….

The free bread is just the cheaper ones. Basic or farmhouse sliced. They're not giving away the £4 sourdough, not in my experience anyway.

Agree that they should tailor to dietary requirements and offer a gluten free option where appropriate. No-one is going to buy that unless they have to.

I can’t believe they’ve never offered me Percy pigs! 😔

I always go out of my way to pick up their free bread when I get the offer. I love it.

Got my Sparks card thanks to this thread. Already got treats and discounts.
Thank you!

Anyone know how you see your Sparks points?

@paleviolet I don't think you collect points with this one, you just get discounts and treats

4 jazz apples my latest treat.

ONE EGG 😂😂😂

@paleviolet
See Sparks in M&S app.
Dr

@paleviolet
No Dr ...fat fingers.

Jazz apples no thanks.
Now if they were Fuji or Gala...........

Ah, now it makes sense.
Thanks @someonecookmydinnerplease

m&s bread is a step nicer than asda bread but it's still mass-produced plasticky pap rather than proper bakery-style real bread.

a treat from M&S would be a sushi platter or some of their cheeses which are often pretty good.

Don't forget to unlock 12 days of Christmas treats starting today!! Freebies galore!!

Very happy today as I have not only got a free loaf but on the 12 sparks of Christmas day 1 a free light up tea caddy!

Yay!

I got a bottle of Snowglobe sugar plum gin and my daughter won a bottle of prosecco

Mince pies for me. Thanks M&S.

I’ve got a light up thingy too

Why are some customers getting free things and others, like me, getting 15% off something they won't be buying.

Same. I don’t think I’ve ever had a freebie 😭
