Marks and Spencer shoppers can get free picnic cool bags ahead of the upcoming summer heatwave, as temperatures are expected to reach 32°C in some parts of the UK this weekend. With many people planning trips to the beach or local parks, keeping food and drink cool is essential, but bulky cool boxes can be cumbersome to carry. That's why M&S shoppers are turning to the Coastal Picnic Cool Bag, a lightweight and spacious alternative.
How to Get the Cool Bag for Free
The Coastal Picnic Cool Bag is priced at £15, but through TopCashback's latest offer, new members can effectively get it for free. TopCashback is offering a free £15 sign-up bonus for new members, plus cashback on any purchase of £15 or more at M&S. This means the cool bag costs nothing after the cashback is applied. Shoppers need to make the initial £15 spend, and the cashback will be returned to their TopCashback account within seven days, ready to be transferred to a bank or PayPal account. The deal includes free click and collect at any M&S store; standard delivery costs from £3.99.
Features of the Coastal Picnic Cool Bag
The bag features a coastal-inspired print with illustrations of shells and seaweed, an insulated wipe-clean lining, and a secure double-zip fastening. It has two top handles and a detachable shoulder strap for versatile carrying. With dimensions of H 35cm x W 18.5cm x L 23.5cm and a 21-litre capacity, it is roomy enough for food storage boxes, snacks, drinks, and other essentials.
Customer Reviews
The cool bag has received eight glowing reviews. One shopper said: "Saw this cooler bag on my phone, used it the other day, brilliant. Not so cumbersome as your normal cool bags/boxes. Easy to carry, kept our items cool without cooler packs." Another wrote: "I bought this to replace a bulky cool box. I was pleasantly surprised at how roomy it is. The straps make it easy to carry and the bag itself is very lightweight." A third reviewer added: "This is a great size. Very nice fresh design and we bought this for ourselves with an Easter voucher. We have several cool bags but this one is a great size for two to four person day trip."
Considerations
While the bag is lightweight and easy to carry, it may not offer the same crush protection for delicate items as a hard-sided cooler. It may also not retain ice for as many hours as a heavy-duty, hard-shell box. For larger families or weekend trips, the dimensions might be too small. However, most customers are pleased with their purchase.
Alternatives
Dunelm's Three Rivers 20L Family Cool Bag costs £24 and offers high-density insulation to keep food chilled for up to 4 hours without ice packs. For a larger option, the Kollea Cool Bag 30 Litre is available for £19.99 on Amazon, made of high-quality aluminium to keep food and drink cold.
