Martin Lewis' MSE urges M&S shoppers to spend £50 from tomorrow
Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert has revealed how to get £311 worth of M&S Christmas beauty goodies for just £50. The BBC Sounds and ITV star's team at MSE issued a warning to Marks and Spencer shoppers and customers in this week's newsletter.
MSE explained: "From Thu. M&S beauty Advent calendar for £50 (worth £311). Mega popular with MoneySavers, but you must spend £35+ on clothing, beauty or homeware to be able to buy it. Use it yourself or split it for gifts. Not just any Advent calendar."
It contains 25 products from brands including Clinique, Color Wow, Pixi, Emma Hardie and L'Occitane. MSE warned: "Yet – as is often the case with M&S beauty boxes – there's a catch... you also have to spend a minimum of £35 on full-price clothing, beauty and/or homeware at the same time to be eligible to buy it. So, you actually have to spend at least £85 at M&S to bag this calendar.

"It's a good excuse if you need to top up on some extra clothing for winter, or replace all those socks with holes in, but don't buy stuff you don't need just to get the beauty calendar."
