IF the cost of living crisis has made your purse feel tighter than ever before, then you’ll need to check this out.
Thanks to a large selection of affordable buys from M&S, you’re sure to save cash without needing to scrimp on quality.
So if you want to fill up your cupboards and cut costs, you’ll have to listen up.
According to an M&S employee who works at The Exebridges Centre Retail Park in Exeter, here are nine brilliant dupes you’ll want to stock up on before they sell out.
Posting on social media, the M&S worker shared a short clip with the caption ‘Love a dupe’, leaving many totally stunned.
Alongside a snap of the stocked shelves, the foodie beamed: “M&S dupe finds!”
There’s all things from cheap food and hand wash to luxe fabric conditioner, but if wine is your thing, you’re in luck.
We’ve all seen the posh Whispering Angel rosé that’s gone viral online, but at £22.50 a bottle, it doesn’t come cheap.
However, thanks to the new M&S La Fioritura Bardolino rosé wine, which will cost shoppers just £8, you’re sure to be left beaming.
Not only is it a real steal, but according to the M&S employee, you “can not tell the difference for a fraction of the price” between this gorgeous wine, which is from Northern Italy, and Whispering Angel.
As well as this, if you can’t afford the Le Labo Rose 31 scented detergent, which has a jaw-dropping price tag of £46, you’ll need to get your hands on the M&S Concentrated Fabric Conditioner, which is only £3.50.
Thanks to its long-lasting fragrance and motion activated technology, your clothes will “smell expensive”.

Additionally, if you’ve got a sweet tooth and love Tony’s Chocolonely, you’ll be overjoyed to see the M&S £3.50 copies.
There’s three different M&S Choc Marks bars to choose from – the first is packed with pretzels, caramel, sea salt and almonds, the second contains caramel, shortbread and chocolate crispies, whilst the third is full of chocolate candy beans, orange jellies and popping candy.
Beaming with the delicious treats, the M&S employee hailed them “the perfect substitute for the best chocolate.”
In a similar vein, if you can’t get enough of Reese’s peanut butter cups, you’ll need to check out the M&S alternative which are priced at £1.35 a pack.
Not only do they look practically the same, but the M&S employee claimed: “Dare I say these taste better.”
As well as this, shoppers will also find a purse-friendly dupe for the Aesop Resurrection Hand Wash, which has a jaw-dropping price tag of £40.
Thanks to the CALM Apothecary Hand Wash, which is only £6, not only will you save £34, but your hands will smell fresh too.
But if it’s affordable beer you’re after, you won’t want to miss the Madri lager dupe.
The M&S Spanish Lager is £2.50 a bottle, to which the M&S worker simply beamed: “Beer on a budget.”
And for those after soft beverages, there’s dupes of Sanpellegrino for only £3.50 a pack.
The Sanpellegrino inspired drinks come in two flavours – Sicilian Lemon and Brazilian Orange – and according to the M&S employee, they “are a MUST during Spring/Summer.”
And where food is concerned, if you like the Old El Paso fajita kits and want to save yourself 80p, you’ll need to nab the M&S version, which is priced at only £3.
Not only this, but to complete your haul, cereal lovers must prepare to run for the M&S copy of Kellogg’s Krave.
Whilst the milk chocolate cereal is sold for £3.50 in Sainsbury’s, thanks to the M&S milk and choco hazelnut pillows, which are just £1.20 a box, you’ll save a healthy £2.30 by ditching the big name brands.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mandsexebridges, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 72,200 views in just two days.
But if you want to stock up on these affordable dupes, you’ll need to get your shoes on and head down to your local store as quickly as you can, before they sell out.
