The amazing offer to shop for a penny is indeed available at Lewisham shopping but for just three days from Wednesday May 20 to Friday May 23. Marks & Spencer is offering customers a range of products for just 1p each to celebrate its 125th Birthday.

An interesting twist to the promotion is that the price is simply a suggestion as every penny made from this promotion is going straight to the M & S 125 Charity Challenge. The charity drive is aiming to make £1.25 million for local and regional charities, so if you want to pay more for your bargains you can, knowing the cash is going to a good cause.

The local charity in Lewisham who will benefit from this promotion is St Christopher’s Hospice for the elderly. One of the elderly shoppers photographed with M & S staff on its 1st promotional day used to sing for the hospice and was very pleased to learn who the local beneficiary was.

So to mark its 125th birthday M & S Lewisham too is going back to its roots for local shoppers and charities with celebratory products including jewellery, scarves, ties, socks and more. To quote Michael Marks who birthed M & S in 1884 “don’t ask the price…it’s a penny”.
