“Spend £50 & £100” Milestones. To qualify for our Black Friday promotions, customers must be aware of the following conditions…

  • Basket size is calculated after any other discounts are applied. For example, if customers place £50 worth of spice blends in their basket, but then apply a discount code that lowers this below the £50 threshold, the Black Friday Deal will no longer be valid.

Offer is valid only whilst stocks last.

Mrs Balbir Singh Limited reserve the right to end this offer at any point during the ‘Black Friday through Cyber Monday’ period.
