M&S shoppers rush to buy ‘gorgeous’ Christmas light up centre-piece scanning for £7.50 instead of £10
SHOPPERS are racing to Ocado to get their hands on a Christmas centre-piece scanning for £7.50 rather than £10.
The M&S Marks & Sparkle London Light Up Scented Candle has been hailed as the perfect winter goodie, especially with 15 per cent knocked off the price.
With an iconic London scene printed on the glass jar and LEDs that light up when the wick is lit, it becomes the perfect centre-piece for any display.
The neroli, lime and bergamont infused candle has become a Christmas favourite with customers jumping to the M&S comment section to compliment it.
One user said: “This is not only a beautiful candle when lit but also when it’s not lit, it sparkles and has a beautiful fresh smell.”
Another added: “I bought it as a beautiful London themed momento, having received it it looks beautiful with a most attractive design in a perfect subtle colour and it smells gorgeous – can’t wait to display and light it up over the festive period.”
A third user responded: “Beautiful candle, really pretty when it’s lit up. Quite a delicate scent. Bought as a present and my friend loved it!”
You can get a hold of this candle directly from the M&S website or in store for £10.
But if you want to get £2.50 discount you can head over to Ocado where it’s 75 per cent of the original price.
Through the Ocado website you add the festive candle to your basked for £7.50.
If you don’t have an Ocado account you can sign up through the website and book a delivery slot that suits you.
First time customers can often receive a discount so make sure to check for voucher codes.
When using grocery delivery services like Ocado, there may be discounts and price drops at the checkout but keep in mind that there is often a charge for delivery.
The price will vary depending on the delivery option, which are one-hour delivery slots, next-day delivery, and same-day delivery.
M&S also has a delivery fee so remember to factor that in when checking out your Christmas treats.
The M&S Christmas room spray has also been getting a lot of love from shoppers.
For a sweet £6 this mandarin, clove and cinnamon room spray could elevate your festive experience.
Customers are saying it simply ‘screams Christmas.’
Another item that’s been flying off the shelves is The Magical Snowing Forest in M&S food halls, which has taken off on social media.
The chocolate box can come home with you for £15 and even has a charming snow-globe effect.
If this isn’t enough chocolate the Santa Chocolate Sleigh has been selling out fast as it’s only £5 a pop.
The tin sleigh holds individually wrapped milk chocolates inside a parcel bag that is a replica of Santa’s sleigh.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
