It can be easy to do a big shop at Marks & Spencer. I like the quality of the food. In my shopping bag to test this code I selected a range of tasty treats from their Diamond Jubilee selection.

The whole lot came to £31.99, with delivery free as I was collecting instore. The offer took £5 off that, making it £26.99.

M&S is currently selling a range of baby clothes from ages 0-2 years old at huge discounts. You can get up to 70% off on selected items that range from sleepwear to day wear to basic baby essentials. There are some really adorable items included in the sale, making it well worth a visit.

Some of the discounts included in the baby sale at M&S are really impressive. You can get a three piece Petit Bebe cotton pinafore outfit for £4 instead of £14 – and it is seriously cute with a huge embroidered strawberry on the dress.

There are also some warm and toasty outfits there, like a cable knit dress for £3 instead of £12, or cotton floral leggings down to £3 for a two pack. The M&S baby sale also has sleeping bags, boys and girls clothing, dresses, hoodies, pramsuits and plenty more. The price reductions are fantastic and many of these would make lovely gifts for expectant parents.

M&S has reduced this ace 24cm non-stick aluminium griddle pan to only £4. You will see that the price is £5 on the site but, thanks to their Home Event, 20% will be taken off the price at the checkout which takes it down to £4. Nice.

• Click here to get cooking with M&S

The 24cm non stick griddle pan has a double layer of non stick coating which is ideal for healthier cooking and easy cleaning. It also means better looking food – there are few things as frustrating as having to scrape food off the bottom of the pan because the non stick has worn off.

The cookware is designed to be hard wearing and long lasting (their promise, not mine) and it can withstand extreme temperatures. The handles are riveted for extra durability and strength and it is also dishwasher safe. The price of this cookware is extraordinary and you may want to beetle about the shop, nabbing other bargains at the same time, so you can really make use of that 20% discount.

The whole lot came to £49.50, with £3.50 for postage. The offer took £5 off that and the discounts took another £12.38. Plus there's free delivery on the site for orders over £30, so the £3.50 was deducted as well.

Now this is a tasty deal for anyone who is at a loss for Christmas gift ideas this year. Not only do you get a very nice 50% off these M&S Christmas hampers but you get someone a lovely gift that they will appreciate for ages.

• Click here to see the discounted Christmas at M&S

There are a few hampers included in this 50% discount and all of them are rather lovely. I must confess that I find the discounted price a little more reasonable than the original one, wow, M&S can be expensive!

The Christmas hampers on offer include: Festive Cheer, Weekend Retreat, Merry Christmas, Christmas Fayre, Sweets & Treats, Best of British, Christmas Delights, The Cold Selection and the White Wine and Smoked Salmon selection.

My personal favourites are the Festive Cheer and Christmas Fayre hampers. Down from £30 and £45 respectively, they now offer a lot of bang for your buck. Also, the adorable owl in the Sweets & Treats hamper is too cute to eat. So, nab one of these beauties for that one person who is impossible to buy for.

This cute little Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom library book set usually sells for £5 at M&S but at the moment it is part of a 50% off special offer. You can see the entire box telling you about the deal on the site. The discount for the books will show when you checkout.

• Click here to get reading with M&S

This lovely little board book box-set is the perfect introduction to the magical land of the Little Kingdom where flowers and grasses rise above the tallest towers. Meet Ben Elf, Princess Holly and all of their enchanting friends and family on the pages of these books.

This is the offer of the week at M&S where you get 50% off at checkout. The deal says that it is only valid until the end of November but it is still working just fine, so get in there before they remember their mistake.

You can also get free standard delivery over £30 so perhaps take a look at some of their other special offers while you’re there.

M&S has a special offer on their Christmas card multipacks where they are currently selling them for half their usual price. This is rather brilliant when you consider that Christmas hasn’t actually arrived yet and you’d only expect cards and sundries on sale from January!

• Click here to get some Christmas cards at M&S

The 50% off multipack Christmas cards offer appears to be only for this week, although I can’t find any confirmation either way. There are a lot of different styles of Christmas card on offer here as well so most types and tastes are accounted for.

With the 50% tag, many of these packs that usually cost around £4 are down to £2, and the ones that cost £2.50 are down to, well, half that and very little indeed. The luxury packs are really the best buys as they cost only £2.50 instead of £5.

I really like these Christmas cards and, seeing as my current batch is already used up, I’m definitely going to be nabbing some of these today.

This is an excellent deal for those of you who have little ones going to school and are in need of an updated winter wardrobe. These packs of shirts come in two colours – white and grey – and are available in quite a few sizes still. At the price of £3 for three shirts, you are paying a very tasty £1 per school shirt at M&S.

• Click here to get dressed with M&S

The three pack of girls shirts at M&S are also the lovely non-iron variety. Now I happen to own some of these and while they don’t pop out of the washing machine looking as if they’ve been starched by a pro, they are a lot less creased and troublesome than the usual shirt. A huge plus for me as I just cannot iron.

The process of nabbing these is quite simple. Click on the colour you want (grey or white), select your size and quantity and then go. In the grey colour (ignore the picture that insists they are blue)there are very few sizes left with many out of stock, but the white has lots left and lots of sizes to choose from.

It can be easy to do a big shop at Marks & Spencer. I like the quality and affordability of their clothes. In my shopping bag to test this code I had a geometric top (in the 20% off sale), a pair of shapers knickers (well you have to use some help once you've had a pregnancy or two), a child's coat (also on offer - 20% off), a child's thermal top and bottom set, and finally a little silver plated handbag keyring.

The whole lot came to £82.50, with £3.50 for postage. The two 20% offers took another £12.65 off that, and finally this code took it down by £10 to £63.35 including delivery. I think a saving of £22.65 overall is pretty good myself.

Use this Marks & Spencer promotional code to get 15% off your order. Although it says that it can't be used with any other offers, I tried it out on a coat reduced in the 20% sale and it took another 15% off.

I tested the coat out on this gorgeous little girl's Autograph Heart Patchwork duffle coat with wool. This had been reduced in the 20% off coats sale from £32 to £25.60. The code took another £4.80 off, and with the delivery of £3.50 the entire total came to £24.30. Not bad especially if you need to buy coats for more than one child.

There’s nothing like a good sale to get those bargain juices flowing and the M&S sale usually has some rather brilliant items. This time around, however, there isn’t much more than clothing to choose from so don’t leap in expecting some awesome home and garden deals too.

• Click here to get some sale at M&S

The sale page is pretty simple to navigate. You can choose from Women’s, Men’s, Lingerie and Nightwear and Kids. Or you can take advantage of their wine sale, but that’s a different post entirely!

In the kids section you can search for sale items based on gender, age and use – Older girls, Babywear. Shoes & Accessories and so on. The prices look fairly decent if I am honest, with jeans and dresses down to as little as £3 in some cases in the girl section, and tees and sweats down to £4 in the boy section.

Babywear is limited but cheap with really cute sleepsuits and tees going for low prices like £1 each. I was enchanted by the crochet cardigan for only £5.

Trying to keep my mind off events that are happening around London at the moment, at least until my other half gets home safely from work, I've started on that annual Summer holiday chore. Stocking up on schoolwear ready for the new term.

I'm loving that this free delivery code for Marks and Spencer is still working. It means that I can do all this without having to drag my six year old son around the shopping crowds. However, it is very sobering to reflect that my two closest stores are in town centres that I'm currently watching on TV as rioters burn cars and storm into shops. Here's hoping that all our PlayPennies readers are safe at home tonight.

Use this M&S promotional code to get £5 off your order when you spend £25 or more. It can only be used on items in the Further Reductions Sale. Which is a fabulous sale. I have bought items in this sale reduced down to a third of their original price. You will have to be fast with this though, I can't see there being anything left on this site by tomorrow.

I first tried it out with a mix of sale and full price school items. But it didn't work. I was told that my order did not meet the promotion criteria. Just in case it was the schoolwear, I also tried it with a mix of sale and full price kidswear, but got the same result.

The code only worked on the Further Reductions sale items. There's some amazing savings here. I stocked up a bit, buying two t-shirts for example. Well at £2 for a Marks & Spencer t-shirt it seemed to make sense.

The Further Reductions sale ends on Sunday.

The My Toy Shelf quilt and bumper set has been marked down from £49.50 to £15 at the M&S clearance sale. That’s a really nice saving off the usual retail price and if I was one of those who bought it for full price I’d be gnashing my teeth.

• Click here to get kitted out with M&S

This two part set consists of a quilt that’s 120x100cm in size and a bumper that’s 146x40cm in size. It has the My Toy Shelf motif from M&S which is really cute little bunnies and bears and ducks sitting on, well, a shelf. The colours are very neutral with brown and cream and light purple and green.

The set is machine washable and tumble drier safe and is made from 100% cotton. It looks utterly adorable and would make a stunning present for someone expecting a baby, or as that final touch to round off your nursery.

This deal is good for today only. Marks & Spencer has this Radio Controlled Helicopter - Gyro Flyer - on 50% discount. When you go to the site it will say £29.50, but at checkout this will be reduced to £14.75.

• Click here to get flying with M&S

You can't use this in conjunction with any other offers, and it is subject to availability. When I tested it though there were more than 30 helicopters available.

The website claims that this is the "easiest-to-fly RC helicopter available anywhere right now." Well, I've tried flying these sorts of remote controlled devices before, and they are pretty damn tricky. However, I can imagine that most older boys, and lots of grown ups too, would be pretty pleased to find this gift in their birthday present or Christmas pile.

That it is easy to fly, apparantly, is down to the "addition of gyroscope to a metal alloy helicopter and the legendary thumbs up three channel control system". I have to quote directly from the website here because frankly this all means diddly squat to me!

There’s currently 20% off school uniforms at Marks & Spencer, as well as free delivery with the code UNIFORMS.

• Click here to stock up and beat the back to school rush

I don’t have a school age child, yet at the same time the thought of ‘back to school’ still fills me with all kinds of dread.

While it’s possible that there will be even greater deals as the return dates approach, 20% off uniforms isn’t a bad start – with Cotton Jumpers starting at £1.60, and Stain Defence Skirts (what???) starting at £2.40.

And while you’re looking at stain resistant skirts, there are also 3-pack Non- Iron shirts starting at just over £7.  (Wow. School uniform ‘technology’ has changed since I was at school! We scrubbed the stains out our clothes, and ironed them before school!)

There’s a selection of Free Trade clothing too, also with 20% off.

I’ll tell you one thing though – school uniforms haven’t changed much since we wore them, have they?

This 24 inch digital photo frame is on sale at M&S for today only so it is a bargain to be nabbed this very minute if you are in the market for some digital photo frame fun. If you are planning on getting this for Father’s Day then you can reserve one to collect instore.

• Click here to get snapping with M&S

The photo frame usually retails for £69 so you are saving a whack of money off this frame. Ignore the writing saying “£34.50” as the note at the bottom clearly says that the deal is down to £24.50 for today only. The discount will be shown at the checkout.

The frame has generous memory space to store up to 4,000 images, gives you slideshow options to flatter your photo collection and you can choose from a range of clock and calendar displays too. The photo frame comes with a remote control and you can position it either vertically or horizontally as the smart sensor will flip the images the right way.

The memory is 128MB, and it accepts Memory Stick, SD Card and xD media.

There appears to be a little bit of a glitch on the M&S site at the moment so you can order your school uniforms, add sale items and, when you use the voucher code below, you get free delivery plus 20% off the school uniforms.

• Click here to get school uniforms with M&S

M&S have a sale on their school uniforms at the moment with 20% off all the different sorts and types available on the site. This discount will help you save some nice cash on these expensive essentials and you can stock up for some time to come.

Once you have finished sorting out their uniforms, you can then go to the sale section, add some of your own items (or some summer extras for the kids) and, using the code UNIFORMS at the checkout, you will get free delivery on absolutely all of the items in your basket.

I have tried this twice and it has worked for me so get on over there and get shopping.

M&S is selling some lovely rugs for the home at bargain prices right now, and many of these are down by an extra 30% and are ideal for your child’s room. If you fancy redecorating, or investing in some new places to put your feet, then this is the right sale for you.

• Click here to get to M&S

There are some really cute rugs on sale, also some rather lovely lounge ones and some truly ugly ones. Although the latter is always a matter of personal taste, isn’t it? Some of the ace deals include a Kids Spot Rug that was originally £39 but is now only £10 after the discounts.

You will find the Petite Bebe Rugs in pink and blue for £10 after all the discounts have been taken off, as well as the Kids Preppy Boys rug that is down to £10. Today only there is an extra 30% being taken off the already low prices so you are shaving a lot off the final price.

Oooh, the M&S 50% sale is on! And some lovely bargains are lurking happily on online shelves for you to pick up and enjoy. From womens to mens to babies, there are clothes and things that have lost their hefty price tags and sit in the up to 50% off category. Yippee!

• Click here to get discounted at the M&S sale

The Marks & Spencer sale includes a bunch of items and many of them have had up to 50% shaved off their original retail price. Keep your eyes peeled, though, because some items are not as discounted as others and you don’t want to end up spending more than you planned to.

The sale includes women’s clothing, men’s clothing, kids clothing, lingerie and nightwear, and home items. I immediately ambled on over to Home to see what was on offer there. I am not overwhelmingly impressed with the stuff for sale in this section, if I am honest. The range is limited and many of the items, well, ugly.

There are, however, fab items for sale in the various clothing departments that make the M&S sale worth looking at.
