Marks and Spencer are celebrating their 125th birthday with a range of vintage 50’s inspired fashion, lingerie, and home items.

But even more exciting is the news that the major department store is going back to it’s routes of 125 years ago, when it was a penny bazaar, by offering 20 items in all it’s main UK stores for just 1p! The promotion starts today (Wednesday 20th May) and runs for 3 days - but we’ve heard many stores are already selling out of the bargains as the offer is strictly “when it’s gone, it’s gone”.

The goodies up for grabs include jewellery, scarves, purses, knickers, cufflinks, ties and socks, leather passport holders and luggage tags, tea towels and mugs, bags of retro sweets, cans of retro drink, beach toys, and beach balls.

If you do manage to catch a bargain and you want to pay more than 1p, all proceeds will go towards the M&S 125 Charity Challenge.
