They are described as “leakproof and airtight” as well as being “reusable and dishwasher safe”.
The item is also freezer and microwave-safe and has a two-litre capacity.
M&S BEST BUYS
The bargain reduction seems to be only available in stores - not online.
However do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it's usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It's always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest M&S store using the locator tool on the website.
It always pays to compare prices so you know you're getting the best deal.

How to save at M&S
AS the cost of everything continues to spiral, many of us are looking for ways to save at the checkout.
Rather than searching for the yellow labels though, one retail worker has shared a way to guarantee discounts on fruit and veg at one of the UK's poshest supermarkets.
Having worked as a night assistant at M&S, they revealed that the posh supermarket has a secret code which they use when making reductions.
For those looking to bag a bargain, you’ll need to find the pre-packaged produce as this is where you'll find the biggest savings - according to the insider.
Next, you’ll need to look for ‘J Codes’ - which are a seven-digit code that starts with the letter ‘J’.
The insider stated that these can usually be found on the packet where you’d find a best-before date.
Whilst it may look like a random string of numbers to the untrained eye, the M&S worker explained that this code is a sell-by date.
In a post on Wednesday (Jan 31), they wrote: “J Codes are 7 digit codes that you will find on pre-packed fruit and veg (and some loose)… The digits that follow are just a date."
Savvy shoppers can then use this code to work out when produce will be reduced, as he explained.
He added: "So any J code fruit or veg that you find yellow stickered tomorrow morning will say J310124.”
Continuing, the insider told the group: “When it comes to meat, or dairy, or ready meals or anything like that, we reduce the next day's date (i.e., tonight we will reduce anything with 1st Feb on it) but in fruit and veg, we will be looking for anything 31st Jan.”
Not only can this help you find those highly sought-after yellow labels, but shoppers could even find items that haven't been reduced and ask for a discount.
Cheerfully, the M&S worker added: “A little peek behind the curtain, but now you will also know if you find something on the shelf that should be reduced but isn't!"
“It's a rough one out there, gotta make those pennies count however we can!”
