A savvy TikTok shopper has shared the best times to visit Marks & Spencer for yellow sticker deals, with a former staff member admitting most customers get it all wrong.
Best Time to Shop at M&S for Yellow Stickers
Jordan Cox, known on TikTok as @couponkidUK, revealed the optimum time to hit M&S to get your hands on yellow sticker deals and top discounts. He said: "This is the time of day you should shop at M&S to get the best deals. Go at 9am for store opening. Yellow sticker discounts get put out overnight, so if you're there at the crack of dawn, you'll get first dibs over all the good stuff."
For bakery items like cronuts, Jordan suggested visiting around 4pm. Timings may differ slightly at your nearest M&S, but politely asking a member of staff during a quieter moment may reveal when yellow stickers are due to appear.
Common Misconceptions
Many shoppers make the error of visiting M&S close to closing time hoping to bag yellow-sticker deals. However, one M&S employee said customers are unlikely to find bargains at that time, as discounts are often applied overnight.
M&S Staff Secrets Over Yellow Sticker Markdowns
Former employees also revealed that some managers might instruct staff not to apply yellow stickers if a crowd had started to form, as it would obstruct aisles and cause disruption. There were also times when yellow stickering had to be stopped completely because customers were bothering staff members, preventing them from completing their tasks.
If you see someone applying yellow stickers, be courteous, keep your distance, and let them work without interruption.
