My one piece of advice would be, if you see a bargin, grab it while you can as it may not be there next time you go. The staff are friendly and helpful but don't know themselves what is going to be on the next delivery. There is a small car park attached to store but this is often full, there is a council pay and display carpark just across the road. A shop well worth popping into regularly to spot a bargin or two.

Although the rule states that quality has got a price, this store chain is possibly the right…read moreexception: branded toiletries, school gear, spices and kitchen basics, among others, are all on display for the tiny price of 99p. Do not believe the mis-hype: this place is worth a try and does not deserve the snobbery it often gets. Don't be put off by the fact that, most often than not, you won't understand the product labels (as these are from foreign stocks); go and see it for yourself just once: I'm pretty sure you'll go back, on skint days at least.

This store is a godsend. As a poor student on a very (very!) tight budget, I am very glad that the…read more99 p store is in excistence. Here you can buy pretty much anything - food, toilettries, makeup, hardware, tools, toys, and even clothes. And all is priced 99 p or less. Surprisingly, the quality of the various products cannot be complained about, so all in all, there are only positive things to say about this store. Only do I wish that I could give a better desctiption of what can be found on the shelves...as things are so cheap they are all taken within a few days and will then be replaced by other products, meaning that you can never know exactly what you can go and buy in the 99 p store. Yet, it really is incredible how much you can stretch a few pound when shopping in one of these ultra-cheap chain stores.

"You can stretch my pound as far as you like darling." I am a big fan of Poundstretcher. It is…read moredifficult to categorise as it really is an odds-and-sods shop. I like to think of it as an adventure store for adults. Every shelf is stocked with resplendent randomness. Ok maybe i'm going to far with the resplendent bit, but joy of joys this store is filthy cheap and I love it. From huge jars of pickled beetroot to fairy lights, storage boxes to tweezers, I promise you there will be something in here to make you part with the coins in your pocket. Herein lies the beauty of Pounstretcher, you will only have to part with your coins and not your notes. It really is fantastic value for many of your household needs, convenience groceries and snacks. The only thing to look out for is the 'Best Before' dates on the food stuff. They may not have passed the BB date but they may be close. It is a recession people so don't be shy, head to your local Poundstretcher and bag yourself a bargain.

You can come in here, spend, say, £7, and walk out with a buttload of stuff that would cost way more in other stores. Granted, it is always PACKED in here (and normally with annoying people who bash into you) but it is worth it! This shop sells toiletries, household products (cleaning products, toilet paper etc), toys, stationary, food, drinks, gardening tools, car products, underwear, books....etc....etc...etc.... Plus, the stuff is not random, generic, weird stuff. They sell actual brands, for example, Charles Worthington hair products.

Card-making kits Shampoo/Conditioner Party poppers Jiffy bags Hairspray Shower gel Batteries I also recently bought 2 tennis rackets and a set of tennis balls here which I am quite pleased with. I think that for £2 they will provide a lot of entertainment and tomfoolery in my garden this summer...

When moving hous this is pretty much my one stop shop, it's a cross between a pound store on one side and right next door is this discount store that sells things for slightly more but are still a bargain. Don't be afraid to haggle too, I always do, and no it never really works they just point at the price tag and shrug but at least I'm trying! I have bought a fabulous soft rug here for my new flat, not the prettiest thing in the world but it was well over 10ft square and only cost £60. Other stuff they do is washing lines, tea pots, random crap that you don't need but suddenly think you do when you're in there and more. Seriously, if you are in the area make sure you pop in. It's a great random store.

I dare you to pop in and find nothing you want to buy...

Those reviews here belong to a long time ago when an old lady was managing the store and customers were happy. As long as Abdul, the new agent is running the store, it is awful! In fact the current seller of this shop is not a normal person at all. The shop pretends to be a cheap place, while has some bad quality stuff with triple the price of similar stuff in other shops and never cuts a key which can work at all. The man in the bright day light takes your money without any shame and then accuses you of racism! He charged me £7 to cut 2 keys, not working. twice I took them to the shop for a refund. The third time he refunded me on my debit card. The next day I checked and realized rather than refunding he had taken another £7! I went there, burst into anger and asked for my £14 or will call the police! He was laughing at me what did the police do? When he noticed I was serious, refunded me in cash. There was a CCTV there, recording all that happened. He lied to the police I spat on him and called him a bad name! It is now recorded in the police station. In the future, be aware if he wants to play the race card, he has at least one record in this regard at the police station BE MINDFUL WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD, HE GETS MONEY OUT OF IT WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT AND WITH NO SHAME, IN THE BRIGHT DAYLIGHT!

This is a great little independent discount shop in Kilburn that has been there for many years. It's a located opposite Kilburn Market or to put it another way, a few doors down from the Poundland (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/101385-Poundland-London) pound shop (the bigger/newest branch) and has loads of goods in baskets/containers outside the front of the shop you can't miss it! Norwest Trading sell all sorts of end of line, surplus stock and clearance goods. Everything seems to be heavily discounted which makes it great value.

This discount shop sells a range of different products, including confectionery, snacks, soft drinks, batteries, hardware, glassware, toiletries, cleaning products, clothing, toys, bedding (bed sheets, pillows, cushions, quilts, duvets etc.) the list goes on. There really is a big variety of different types of products that is always changing so take a look next time you're in Kilburn.
