Continuing on from Thread One, which may run out this evening.

Good Luck, everyone for the last day, tomorrow. Hope your wildest dreams come true! (Or at least some free Colin the Caterpillar bits, anyway)

Bloody coats here too.

That was really disappointing. I did get a free Percy Pigs but we never buy them. Otherwise it was all money off stuff we don' need. Meanwhile I was hanging on for money off shoes or kids underwear.

Oh well.

Someone will get Percy Pigs in their stocking!

Is it festive hummus with cranberries and glitter?

😂 Nope. Bog standard hummus. Don’t think I’ll bother with the drive to collect it 😂

8misskitty8 · 12/12/2023 06:42

No lip balm in the big M&S beside me and none of the alternative hand cream either.
They did however have loads of hand wash, perfume and diffusers. Not allowed to swap my freebie that they didn’t get in for any of them 😡

Day 12 free satsumas, no one I know eats them !

Last year I got free hand cream that was also never stocked in the big M&S.

ExpensiveDecorations · 12/12/2023 07:07

I got the last lipbalm in ours yesterday, the rack behind the till had a few bigger tubes of things left but not many of anything.

Just wanted to say thank you to @RainbowZebraWarrior for the thread, I wouldn’t have known about this otherwise as I keep all my store cards in my apple wallet and rarely access the actual apps (rarely read the marketing emails either) Flowers

Colinorpercy · 12/12/2023 07:10

I’ve not had any freebies either, 10% off presse yesterday was the 12 day low for me 🙄. And def don’t need any more coats so not even going to look in case I’m tempted!

EachandEveryone · 12/12/2023 07:13

20 percent off coats which was what I needed

Dee1224 · 12/12/2023 07:17

My DH got free mince pies yesterday, (which will probably go unclaimed as per the pps).

Today he got 20% off coats.

vjg13 · 12/12/2023 07:23

I'm pleased with my 20% off coats. I had the over sized biker jacket in my basket so have bought it.

OneFrenchEgg · 12/12/2023 07:31

We should keep the thread alive and see if anyone wins a gift voucher or bottle of booze in the prize draw.

Monkeybutt1 · 12/12/2023 07:31

20% off coats. Best I've had is free chocolate coins which I've not collected yet. I'll go today but not holding much hope of their been any 😞

OneFrenchEgg · 12/12/2023 07:33

WimbyAce · 12/12/2023 07:36

Fingers crossed for prize draw. Only freebie I got was percy pigs so not bothered. Last year got a lovely light up lantern with tea/shortbread. I seem to remember then you could use it on the 3 for 2 on them so I got 3 for paying 1.

ElinoristhenewEnid · 12/12/2023 07:38

Just tried to open door 12 and told I am too early and come back tomorrow!!

Tessisme · 12/12/2023 07:41

20% off coats. I have a bit of a coats addiction. So I won't peek😆

Pushkinini · 12/12/2023 07:42

Percy Pigs for me today. Didn't quite end on the high I'd hoped, but I can live with Percy.

APurpleSquirrel · 12/12/2023 07:43

Coats here too - only got the Percy Pig Train as a freebie (worth £5 so not too bad). Used the nightwear & chocolate biscuit discounts.

Namenumber3 · 12/12/2023 07:51

Mine was a free bauble but unfortunately nearest store that stocks them is nearly an hour away.
I don’t mind the discounts but frankly the 10%/15% off ones are rubbish. No different to a sign up code. Most of the Christmas gifts, food and drink will be slashed to nothing in 2 weeks and the clothes will be on sale at some point. They should just give you 25% - 50% off now.

fairydust11 · 12/12/2023 07:57

Opened my final door & it was 20% off coats - the only free gift I got was a percy pig chocolate tin, which although free, seemed quite overpriced to me anyway & not something anyone would actually buy, but my children were happy with it.

Has anyone got anything good, such as Prosecco?

NigelHarmansNewWife · 12/12/2023 07:58

20% off coats for me today. DP wants a new coat and had tried a few on in M&S so he can use it. I picked up free Florentines yesterday. The Florentines and a day 1 hand cream I didn't bother to get were the only freebies for me.

notlisteningwithmother · 12/12/2023 08:05

20% off coats here as well. Day one was a free diffuser but the rest have been discounts on things I wouldn't usually buy. One was useful (20% off nightwear and could order online) but the rest didn't persuade me to make a trip into a store. I was hoping for a treat for myself today - early Christmas present. But no. I still like a Christmas countdown though :-)

Baneofmyexistence · 12/12/2023 08:05

I got a free dip today which I won’t use. Other than that all money off and I missed day 4 so maybe that was another free one. I have used the 20% of nightwear as I needed some PJs but other than that nothing I got will be used!

The big prize in Ireland is only €5000.

I suppose we can let them away with that given the slightly smaller population here.

muckymayhem · 12/12/2023 08:46

I missed 4 - got 20% off offers and a free handcream. Normally only go to the food hall so probably won't get the handcream. Did use 20% off PJs online. Won't use the others. But I didn't know about the draw so there's still hope!

We should keep the thread alive and see if anyone wins a gift voucher or bottle of booze in the prize draw.

Happy to keep updating the thread and keeping it running on a daily basis (probably with utter nonsense) till we find out if anyone wins any of the draw prizes. Am I being daft, cos I can't see a date for any of these extra prizes being drawn.

Thank you for all the thank you's, everyone.

Ah, so the draw takes place by 16 December.

We will keep the thread running, then. I've got until today to collect the only freebie I won which was chocolate coins. DD is off poorly,but I might get a chance to scoot round to M&S later. I'm only thinking it could be fun for the elves to leave a chocolate coin trail.

There aren't going to be any left, are there?
