I hesitated to write about the Christmas 1p sale at M&S because I think its not worth the time or effort to queue up and fight the crowds for 1p items you probably don’t need, but I’ll let you be the judge.

According to This is Money, M&S’s 1p ‘Penny Bazaar’ is back this Friday. The sale will feature 15 items for 1p each – Christmas socks, card games, children’s puzzles, handkerchiefs, money boxes, tea-towels, mugs, notebooks, ties, knickers, key-rings, Christmas chocolates and Yule logs – and there will be a limit of five items per customer.

To find out if your local M&S is one of the 300 participating, you can check the store finder. All sales go to local charities.

M&S is also offering 1p standard UK shipping through 14th November.
