Marks & Spencer (M&S) has sparked controversy by introducing packaged batter scraps for sale at £2, leaving customers questioning the value of a traditionally free item. Shoppers have expressed shock and disbelief on social media, while some recall the nostalgic joy of receiving scraps for free from their local chippies in the past. M&S’s previous attempts to monetize scraps in 2018 and 2020 also drew mixed reactions.
