    I'm always a bit sceptical of any store that calls itself 'catalogue bargains'. I always wonder why…read moredid the products sell? is there something wrong with them? are they seconds? But recently when strolling past I happened to notice that had some Christmas wrapping paper in the window. Christmas was getting closer and closer and I always panic that I haven't got enough so went in to take a closer look, in all honesty expecting some thin, 'cheap' paper, how wrong I was! the paper was Lovely, the sort of quality you would expect from a reputable store such as m&s. I ended up buying reems and reems of the stuff. They also had some lovely gift ideas, and had I not already done my xmas shopping, I would've found lots of useful bargains here. All in all.. I was quite, quite impressed!

    When you go into Scarborough twn centre you frequently see catalogue bargain shops carriers. People…read moresing its praises and recommend it. It does vary on the day and sometimes I haven't bought anything and another day have staggered out with bags of stuff .It is ex-catalogue stuff and now and again they have a sale and sell stuff off really cheaply ,i have had trousers for 62p and skirts and tops for silly prices.I have a much admired padded jacket which I bought for £2.49.It was a size 28 and I altered it to an 18 but it was well worth the effort. They sell some furniture and household items. They get televisions dvd players and a host of other electrical stuff. They have some toys and there are some god bargains in footwear.The only problem is that you can get hooked and it is hard to resist things that you dont need when they are really cheap.

    Scarborough's Matalan is a very large shop located in the centre of the town. It has the full range…read moreof matalan products which are very well displayed in this spacious shop. One of the main problems with the shop is the lack of parking immediately outside, it makes it difficult when buying a lot of heavy items, you can't even really pull up outside of either door because of where they are located. The queues at the till are another downside, they can be very long at times and very slow moving. The range of products is very extensive and very good value for money but you do need to check that they haven't at some point been trailed along the floor as alot of there items have.

    Very large bright open store with plenty of space. Clothes are cheap and sometimes a bit hit and…read moremiss with the quality, but there are some good bargains to be found. The homeware part is great, upto date and modern pillows, mirrors, pictures, plates etc at good prices. Nowhere to park outside as it's at a very busy point in the middle of town, so if you do stock up on heavy household items you can struggle to get to the car. There are a couple of nearby car parks though. The queue for the tills is always long, no matter what time of day you go and during the summer the air conditioning had been turned off due to seagulls nesting in it and it was like an oven in there! Never mind the poor suffering customers as long as the birds are comfy haha! At the end of the day there are clothes piled everywhere and all over the floor, I pity the poor souls that have to go round picking everything up!
