I love M&S, but I'm always so overwhelmed by the million seemingly amazing options that I never really end up buying anything. I spent ages looking at the pancakes today, and they all looked amazing so I just couldn't choose!

My budget doesn't allow me to do a full shop from there so I'm looking for the treats, snacks, and meals that are really worth trying. Drop all your favourites and I'll work through them.

I'll go first: I can polish off a bag of their chocolate-covered pretzels in one sitting. Flipz could never.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: wow y'all really came through! My mouth is watering reading the comments. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to be eating good for the near future!

FURTHER UPDATE: Wow guys, it’s just past midnight and the recommendations are still coming in! I’ve seen so many comments saying that people are going to head to their local M&S to pick up some of the things mentioned in this thread, I’m so glad I posted this question! You’re all so lovely and I hope you’ve had just as much fun reading this thread as I have. Hope you all had a lovely day <3

So far I’ve tried the Mexican dip, the mango chutney poppadoms, the salt and black pepper crisps, the cotton candy grapes and the sandalwood and rose fabric softener (don’t worry I didn’t consume the last one haha). Loved them all!

UPDATE: hi guys! Thank you SO much for all of your lovely recommendations. I saved my receipt so that I could tell you guys what I got! I managed to not go TOO mad and spent just over £50. Here’s what I got:

A large bottle of the iced coffee latte, a large bottle of the vanilla milkshake and some hazelnut syrup (guess what tiktok trend I’ve fallen for). A tub of flapjacks, two packs of Dutch shortbread biscuits, a punnet of strawberries, a punnet of the cotton candy grapes, the green goddess dip, the Mexican style dip, the red pepper hummus, salt and black pepper crisps, mango chutney poppadoms, a pack of cheese puffs, an apple and elderflower fizzy drink thing (the packaging was pretty), a sandalwood and rose fabric softener and then some leafy veg and other things (like cheese, bread).

They didn’t have any of the Indian style dip left (well they did, but it expired today) so I will try the dips I have tonight and then go back another day to see which other ones they have.

Funny story, I got overly excited when sniffing the fabric softener when I got in and I accidentally squeezed the bottle and it squirted everywhere so now my utility room smells amazing. Currently got a load of washing on and will hang it out in the corridor and help make the flat smell nice and fresh.

Thanks everyone for all of your recommendations :) I’m tempted to try the fizzy drink now but I think I will save it (along with the chips and dips) for The Apprentice tonight, as that would be the time I’d usually have a drink and I want to replace the cravings with something non-alcoholic.

Have a great day guys and let me know what you think about my haul!

ORIGINAL POST: I fancy treating myself today (gotten sober and wanted to get snacks to enjoy instead of alcohol) and I’m going to head to my local M&S food hall in a bit, so I wanted to ask what things you guys like getting from there. I almost never shop there (I only get those Dutch shortcake biscuits and some of the crisps) however I’ve seen lots of things on TikTok but wanted to get more recommendations.

I’m not into sweets/chocolate/desserts, I’m looking for savoury snacks, deli items, things to pop in the air fryer and household cleaning products. I’ve seen some of the dips being reviewed and so far I’ve got the Indian and Mexican style dips on my list as well as the salmon and dill one.

Thank you all in advance, I’m excited to read your recommendations!
