How to find the best M&S Boxing Day sale deals

Make sure to write a list of the products you actually need (or want) before browsing the sale, so you don’t waste time scrolling through endless deals. You can also filter on the website by category and always make sure to check prices at other retailers before checking out (if you’re buying third-party brands sold at M&S), to make sure you’ve got the best price. IndyBest’s team of shopping experts are only including the creme de la creme of deals in this guide, so you can rest assured you’re getting a fair discount.

When do M&S stores open after Christmas?

While M&S stores will be closed on Boxing Day itself, they will open on 27 December when the Boxing Day sale will still be in full swing. However, the sale has already started online, with deals rolling in from as early as Christmas Eve.

When does the M&S Boxing Day sale finish?

Although the name of the sale suggests it's a one-day event, the deals are known to continue into the new year, when the Boxing Day sale morphs into the January sale. This means you've got plenty of time to save money on a host of items.
