All the clothes are from Next, but are at discounted prices - so you know the quality is exactly what you would expect in a normal Next shop. This shop goes over 2 floors and covers adults and children's clothing and they also have a small home section. I recommend this shop highly!

Great place to go for discounted Next goods and clothes. The shop carries clothes from a size 8 to…read more22 and bags, tables, towels, curtains, bedding etc Mens department upstairs carries watches, clothing, nightwear, shoes etc. The range is never guaranteed as aren't the sizes but if you look closely you'll be sure to find a few things to fit at less than 1/2 price on many items. Well worth a visit.

The carpark is rather small and shared with other stores at the site…read more This is quite a small store and there is not a clothes department so don't get excited that you can squeeze in a bit of clothes shopping whilst pretending to do the weekly shop. I find this shop very oddly arranged nothing is where you expect it to be and somethings are really well hidden. Apart from all that you can expect the usual Asda bargains and counters bakery etc. and a pharmacy. There are self scan checkouts so this will speed up the shop but leave extra time for hunting down what you are looking for.

Nice store and not too big to get round - plenty of counters ie delicatesan and fresh pizza etc…read moreFresh bakery and low cost goods make for a super supermarket!

Although I usually lack adequate space for bulk purchasing, my mother-in-law (and her large chest…read morefreezer) can rarely resist the deals available from Costco. For instance, a 5lb block of mozzarella cheese is about the same price as 1lb shredded from Tesco... now she has to put in the effort of grating it herself, but she has two days off a week anyway so she might as well take the time and save the money. Costco's housebrand is called "Kirkland" and is actually very high quality for affordable prices. I can honestly say I have been buying Kirkland products for years and would highly recommend pretty much anything Kirkland brand. We usually try to avoid this store on the weekends because the traffic from Lakeside can make for some pretty scary encounters however the parking lot is very large so at least finding a spot will be painless. Membership is £50 a year but allows 2 adults so if you're savvy, you can possibly share a membership between two families like my MIL (she shares with one of her sisters). If you are having a party, I highly recommend the cakes from the bakery here. We ordered the chocolate bundt cake and a carrot cake for a party we had and both were cheap, moist and sinfully delicious - especially the carrot cake! Definitely worth the membership if you have a big family or a big event to host but make sure you check the hours first because on some days they open early to business owners and not to the public until noon or later.

I tried to buy petrol at Thurrock last weekend and was unable to do so as I had the 'wrong cards'…read moreIf you have a Halifax card or Nat West the chances are the pump will not accept it.We spoke to the guy at the pumps and he said yes that's right it probably won't work - there's a dispute going on. So we had to buy petrol In Aveley which was 5p dearer per litre. When I got home and rang them and was told it's my banks fault. Totally not interested in my situation. Definitely not going to help customer relations WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS ATTITUDE Shame on you Costco you should sort your problems and look after your customers

I love this shop and always go there when I've bought a new outfit…read more The shop is nice and airy and there's plenty of room for you to look up and down the walls to find something you like. Whilst it's all costume jewellery some of it is so nice I'd rather buy that and wear it only once than waste money in a jewellers. They have jewellery to match most outfits and occasions ranging from colourful party wear to elegant necklaces and earrings for a special occasion. Prices are often cheap, which is sometimes reflected in the quality but it's what you expect from a costume jewellery shop.

The window of the shop says 'open until 6pm' which is incorrect as it actually closes at 5.30pm, and don't bother turning up after 5.15pm, as its normally already all shut up for the day, its nice to know they can afford to lose customers in this way!.

The range of clothing in store is great, with it all set out nicely and plenty of mirrors to see how it would look. Peacocks have made an effort to become trendy and it shows in this store. If you are in Basildon the shop can be hard to find as they are currently building at the front of the shop (where there used to be a huge escalator) but it is worth looking for. It's just a few doors up from Woolworths.

I initially…read morethought it was an older persons shop but quickly came to realise you can get some really good pieces in here. The do an excellent bad and shoe range and they are good quality. I bought a pair of mary jane style shoes for £12 that I wore for work for a year and they lasted in great condition. In addition they also do good lingerie and a maternity range as well. I go here to get some basics such as combat trousers and t shirts. I have even bought a few jumpers for my trendy brothers as they are so cheap but good quality.

Everything is laid out in a logical order by genre and the staff are very knowledgeable and happy to help you find what you're looking for. They can even tell you release dates and preorder books for you. The kids section is great, they are happy for kids to have a look at a book before you buy it and I've never had any trouble returning unwanted presents. Prices aren't cheap, but you can't compare specialist book shops to supermarkets really.

They often have a 20 percent sale or more. The shop assistants are very happy and helpful. If you are in the area you should pop in for a bargain!
