GUIDE: Marks & Spencer's Digestives, Chocolates + More Are On Sale

Update as of February 27, 2026, 10: 51 a.m.: A more recent statement from Marks & Spencer reveals that they aren't completely exiting the Philippines—just getting a new franchisee. The items below are still on sale, though!

(SPOT.ph) The Philippines was sent into a frenzy when news of Marks & Spencer exiting the Philippines made headlines. I mean, where else would one get quality lingerie and swimwear (plus-size-friendly, at that!) for a good price, and the best chocolate-coated digestive biscuits for Christmas gifting now that Marks & Spencer will be gone by May 2?

As it turns out, thankfully, Marks & Spencer isn't completely exiting the Philippines—they're just getting a new franchisee. But, if you're anything like me, who rushed to the nearest operating branch to snag the buy-four-get-one-free promo on their China Blue toiletries (they're now called Geranium), know that the remaining stores are having a sale. All items are discounted or bundled, even the items from Marks & Spencer's food section.

This buy-four-get-1-free promo means the free item is the lowest-priced item from the five packs of biscuits and cookies you've bundled. If you buy four packs of Milk Chocolate Digestives (P215) for P860, you can get another pack of Milk Chocolate Digestives for free. The same goes if you buy four Dark Chocolate Digestives (P215) for P860; one of them becomes free if you bundle it with the more expensive Almond Biscuits (P250).

Here are some of the cookies and biscuits we've spotted at Marks & Spencer:

• Milk Chocolate Digestives (P215)

• Dark Chocolate Digestives (P215)

• Almond Biscuits (P250)

• Shorties (P215)

• Dark Chocolate Orange Jaffe Cakes (P395)

• Dutch Shortcake (P395)

• Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Coated Bourbon Creams (P395)

• 8 All Butter Cookies: Reduced Sugar Double Chocolate Chunk (P395)

• 8 All Butter Cookies: Triple Chocolate Chunk (P395)

• 12 All Butter Cookies: Sweet Sultana (P375)

• Triple Chocolate Chunk

• Triple Pack Everyday Biscuits (P395), which includes Malted Milk Biscuits, Extra Cream Custard Creams, and Extra Cream Bourbon Creams

*Availability will vary per branch.

The sensible adult (which doesn't appear when I need it the most) in me says there's no need to hoard the Milk Chocolate Digestives, just to wrap them for Christmas because, obviously, it's not going to last that long. By all means, grab a few packs for yourself, maybe share with friends and family if you’re feeling generous.

But if you want to wrap one up for an advanced Christmas present purely for the laughs? Then, by all means, go.

The same principle applies: The lowest-priced item from the three wines and alcoholic drinks you've bundled is the free item. If you buy two bottles of La Vita Lambrusco, you can get a third bottle for free. If you buy a bottle each of the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo (P695), Claret Bordeaux 2023 (P795), Rich & Smooth Australian Red (P495), and Round & Plummy Merlot (P495), you can get either the Rich & Smooth Australian Red or Round & Plummy Merlot for free.

Here are some of the wines and alcoholic beverages we've spotted at Marks & Spencer:

• Claret Bordeaux 2023 (P795)

• Montepulciano D'Abruzzo (P695)

• La Vita Lambrusco (P495)

• Rich & Smooth Australian Red (P495)

• Round & Plummy Merlot (P495)

*Availability will vary per branch.

This is best for wine nights with your co-titas and titos—the kind where one bottle turns into a full-blown yapping session. Or you can hoard in advance for those long weekends, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and even Christmas parties because, at least, these last longer than the cookies. Just remember to check the expiration date!

You should know by now: The cheapest item from the four mix-and-matched sweets is the free item, and the other three are what you pay for. For example, you can bundle Marks & Spencer's Swiss Chocolatier items: Extra Fine Dark Chocolate Discs: P395, Milk Chocolate with Fruit & Nut (P350), and Dark Chocolate Mountain Bar (P225), and you get Fruit & Nut Milk Mountain Bar (P225) for free.

Here are some of the candies and chocolates we've spotted at Marks & Spencer:

• Swiss Chocolatier: Extra Fine Dark Chocolate Discs: P395

• Swiss Chocolatier: Extra Fine Milk Chocolate Discs: P395

• Swiss Chocolatier: Milk Chocolate with Fruit & Nut: P350

• Swiss Chocolatier: Fruit & Nut Milk Mountain Bar: P225

• Swiss Chocolatier: Dark Chocolate Mountain Bar: P225

*Availability will vary per branch.

The selection may vary depending on which Marks & Spencer branch you visit. If you spot the tinned chocolates, consider picking one up—not just for what’s inside, but for the keepsake-worthy packaging. It doubles as a little souvenir while we all wait for updates on Marks & Spencer’s plans moving forward.

Need to stock up on coffee? Marks & Spencer has their jars of instant coffee as part of the closing-sale promo. And the same math applies: The lowest-priced item from the three grocery items you have in your bag or basket is the free item. If you buy three bottles of M&S Decaf Gold Instant Coffee (P695) or M&S Italian Style Instant Coffee (P695), you can get an extra bottle of the same variant for free.

Here are some of the grocery items we've spotted at Marks & Spencer:

• Decaf Gold Instant Coffee (100 grams): P695

• Italian Style Instant Coffee (100 grams): P695

• Instant Latte (8 Individual Sachets): P475

*Availability will vary per branch.

Grab this promo on Marks & Spencer coffee and stock up smartly: one for home, two for the office, and one “just in case” pack for emergencies. Because, let's be real, our uncaffeinated selves are hazardous for anyone within proximity.

If you missed out on last year's Christmas collection, you can still get it with the buy-three-get-one-free promo. Mix and match favorites like the Festive Magic Projector Tin (P2,150), The Original Very Jelly Munch (P1,495), or Mint Chocolate Selection (P1,195), then score a free Double Decon Toffees Christmas Tree (P825) or Wallace & Gromit Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar (P425).

Here are some of the Christmas food items we've spotted at Marks & Spencer:

• Festive Magic Projector Tin: P2,150

• The Original Very Jelly Munch: P1,495

• Mint Chocolate Selection: P1,195

• Double Decon Toffes Christmas Tree: P825

• Wallace & Gromit Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar: P425

*Availability will vary per branch.

We all know Marks & Spencer goes all out for the holidays, so think of this as your last chance to grab their Christmas goodies. If it hasn't sunk in yet: We just might have a Marks & Spencer-less holiday this 2026.

Some soon-to-expire products are on bigger discounts. If you're the type to likely breeze through a box of sweets or coffee, then just look for the signage that starts with: "Why Best Before?"
