I’m an M&S superfan and tried to feed my family for a week – I was stunned with the trolley of stuff I got for just £42
AN M&S superfan has revealed everything she managed to nab in M&S to feed her family for a week – and was left stunned it only set her back £42.
Amy shared that she’d made the most of the deals available in-store, including the supermarket’s £12 pizza deal, and two for £4 on fruit.
Known online as @amyroberts9.5, the savvy mum regularly shares parenting tips and bargain buys with her 77 followers.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “What I got for the week at Marks & Spencer’s.
“So I got the pizza deal, two pizzas and two sides for £12, so I got the mozzarella sticks and the [Beef Burger] spring rolls.
“Ham and pineapple, and a meat feast.
“I got the pasta, which is pasta, sauce, and the bread deal for £6.
“It was two for £4 on some of the fruits, so in that, I got the pears and the apples.
“I got a little quick meal for Olivia for emergencies.
“Mushrooms, avocado, bananas, mixed berries, a grapefruit, single cream, a pepper.
“I also got some of these southern fried chicken bits and some chicken thighs.
“And all of that was £42, so that’s all our meals for the week.
“And all I had to do was go into Aldi and just get some little snacky and picky bits.”
To prove that her entire haul only set her back £42, she shared her receipt and added: “And again here, it just shows you on the receipt the deals coming off which I thought was really good.
“They also had other deals, like a stir fry deal and a gastro deal, but I didn’t get any of that.”
Fans loved her bargain haul, with the video gaining more than 500 likes and 33,800 views.
In the comments, TikTok users shared their reactions, with one writing: “I’m really interested to try shop smart like this. Normally I go Aldi every week but it’s dearer every week looking at this you defo got good deals.”
“M&S is cheaper if you shop smart. Especially in Guernsey where I live as we don’t have Tesco’s/ASDA anything like that,” commented another.
Amy replied: “I’m loving it! I’m going to try eventually do a FULL shop. Not bad for my first time.”
A third said: “I went to M&S too this week, we got the pizza deal, the dine in meal, the 2 for £4 on fruit and 2 x sausages for £6.”
However not all were convinced, with some arguing that other supermarkets had more choice.
Someone else put: “Iceland all the way 4 pizzas, def not M&S! Big rip off only place that have so much choice is Iceland, especially the stuffed crust ones only 1 I eat.”
Another added: “Nowhere has as much choice as Iceland for pizzas! Especially stuffed crust ones!”
