M&S is giving out free biscuits to shoppers – ‘hidden’ section on the app to check if you qualify
M&S is giving out free biscuits to shoppers but you will need to find a hidden section on it’s app to check if you qualify.
Shoppers could not believe their luck after learning they could pick up a packet of their Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Biscuits for nothing.
Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper said the offer was further down than others so “could have been missed”.
Others were quick to chime and thank for flagging the deal.
One person said: “Thank you i had this and didn’t even know.”
While another shopper said: “Thanks for putting it out there, wouldn’t even have checked otherwise.”
And a third said: “Know where I’m going tomorrow now.”
The biscuits typically costs £6 at M&S stores.
To qualify for the offer you first need to be a Sparks Member, which is M&S’s free loyalty scheme.
It gives shoppers the chance to get offers that are tailored to them.
You will also then need to register for the M&S Parenthood Club.
This can be done if you go into the “My Account” section of your Sparks app and then click on “Subscriptions & clubs”.
You should see the option to register for Parent Hood.
It is free to sign up for this club but you must be an expectant parent or have a child under two years old.
Once you register, you should see the offer to claim the free biscuits in store.
And its not only free biscuits that you can by registering for the club.
Families can save on essential items including clothing for babies, bedding, as well as maternity and nursing bras.
Once customers join the parent hood and sign the “Parent Pledge”, they get access to two initial offers.
One of them is a year-long 10% discount on baby grows – for example, a five-pack of pure cotton sleepsuits, usually costing £15.50, will be £13.95.
They can also enjoy a free slice of cake, pastry or a fruit pot, every week when you buy a hot drink at a M&S cafe.
M&S is not the only store that offers deals and discounts for parents.
Boots has a parent club for Boots Advantage Card holders who are expecting a baby or have children under 5.
It offers benefits like extra points on baby products and free gifts.
DON’T MISS OUT ON FREE M&S GIFTS
M&S has lots of offers for customers so its important to not miss out.
The Sun recently revealed that nearly half of all members – amounting to tens of thousands – are forfeiting the opportunity to receive a free birthday gift.
Unlocking this treat is incredibly simple.
All customers need to do is update their Sparks profile with their date of birth.
Once this is done, they’ll receive a special birthday reward, which they have an entire month to claim.
The gift varies depending on spending habits and could include indulgent treats such as a luxury box of Belgian truffles, mini cupcakes, or a fresh bouquet of roses.
Alternatively, customers might receive fresh produce like grapes or blueberries, or even exclusive discounts such as a 20% off voucher or a £10 voucher to use across clothing and homeware.
Customers can scan a QR code in-store to quickly update their profile or simply log into the Sparks app to add their information.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
