M&S food not worth the price
It's not worth what they charge for it.
![]() Can this be left in GD mods please. My wife bought an M&S apricot cheese-cake yesterday and it was £3.99. Wasn't worth it. Biscuit base was very thin. I prefer Tesco ones at £1.Do you shop at M&S and do you think it's food is value for money? |

I buy nearly all my food from M&S - pricey but definitely worth it my opinion

![]() Nah seriously some of it is overpriced but some of it is definitely worth the extra money. |

Well we had a strawberry cheesecake last week from Tesco, £1 and I thought it was better than the M&S one. My daughter thought so too.

I love M&S food, but I'd say most of it is definitely over-priced.

I think the scampi joke is wearing a bit thin to be honest.

The food is very good quality and there is a lot of good things you don't find in supermarkets, but yes even with my discount the food is far too expensive. I basically do a big shop at ASDA and get all the basics like butter, cheese, drinks etc and then buy myself some luxuries and treats from the M&S Food Hall about once a week when I finish.

I dislike M&S food. Tastes awful and is a shocking price. The price is in the pakaging IMO.

I bought a Tesco cheesecake once, it was like eating a slab of tasteless lard (I imagine). It was the only cake I've ever thrown in the bin without considering feeding the birds with it.
I'd rather pay £4 in M&S for quality. I shop in M&S for all types of things whenever I see one, as I don't have one local to me. |

I buy my basics in Tesco but did have a splurge on buying goodies for my birthday last week.
Their fruit trifle is gorgeous, you can't get that taste from any other trifle. I am so glad they haven't changed it in 32 years. Their chocolate dipped meringues are yummy as well - have loved them for 40 years. I love their strawberry Champagne cream as well. I love their strawberry frappe (quite a new addition). I have noticed other supermarkets copying them and sometimes they manage to do a good job. My son loves their chicken and bacon sub and their triple chocolate sundae. |

Most of the stuff I've ever found in tescos has been cheap and crappy.

Shop-bought cheesecakes can surely only pale into significance compared to a decent home-made one? They always overload them with sugar at the supermarkets - you can barely taste the cheese.

I love M&S food.
I buy from all the supermarkets, but mostly M&S and Waitrose. |

Actually - it isn't. Food manufacturers that produce for M&S have to jump through so many hoops to keep the technical guys at M&S happy to keep their orders. This in turn costs money. Which is why everyone that shops at M&S pays so much more. The quality of M&S products is of a superior quality to that of other supermarkets. I can't list the exact M&S requirements but I can honestly say - they are extensive to ensure their products meet the most demanding standards. Are M&S products worth it? In my opinion, absolutely. The saying "you get what you pay for" really is true, in this case. |
