There are three All That Jazz shops, two next to each other in the Forge, one selling greeting…read morecards, gifts and ornaments, the next garden and household repair items and the third shop on London Road stocking furniture and decorative items. I can never quite make my mind up about these shops, sometimes I enter to find them full of tat I would only expect to see on sale at a seaside resort, other times I find them full of unique statement pieces that are a bargain and would look great in my home. This variety and speedy turnover of stock makes for a great visit either way though as you just never know what you will find. In my opinion one of the best home shops in Warrington, especially when it comes to Christmas-they always pull out all the stops to stock up with inexpensive but beautiful Christmas ornaments-I know i'll be checking back regularily in the run up to Christmas day.

Such a great shop, situated right by Chester Cathedral! It's the sort of place I would normally…read morewalk past and not pay any attention to, but having stopped once with my parents I was surprised about how much beautiful glassware there is! They have a large selection of display pieces that can easily be £500, however there is also a great deal of Scandinavian glassware that is affordable and great for wedding presents and special birthdays. Infact you can even find interesting gifts for as little as £12. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Worth popping in!

Isha is an interesting little women's clothing shop with a definite Indian bent on Grange Road…read moreWest. Whether you wear Indian clothes all the time, or you just want something unusual for a costume party or general wear, you can certainly find some interesting and pretty dresses and other clothing items here. Clothing is fairly good quality compared with some similar items you will find in Birkenhead Market, for instance, and prices are fairly decent.

The worst experience of my life was ordering from Wilko's, I invertedly ordered 2 gazebos by…read moremistake due to not receiving a confirmation email and thinking my order had not gone through so placed another order, still no order confirmation all evening. the next morning I checked my bank and saw there was 2 transactions for the two orders, so they had actually been placed and still no order confirmations. I contacted Wilkos who indeed said they had a record of two orders even though I had no confirmations I explained I only wanted one and could I cancel one. They said due to their speedy dispatch that both orders had already left and I would have to refuse delivery of one gazebo to be refunded for one. I still get no delivery notification and then by chance while emailing Wilkos they tell me that my order is out for delivery that day, I rush home from work to wait for the delivery so I can refuse delivery of one of them. When the delivery arrives the courier only has one box from each gazebo and said the other boxes had not been dispatched, I refused delivery as told by Wilkos of one of the boxes and kept the other. Waited till the next morning still no notification of the other boxes arriving so contact Wilko's to be told the other boxes have not been sent to the courier yet. All in all I have had a nightmare with Wilko's so only got half of one Gazebo and been charged £709 twice, all in all I am ready for a breakdown. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE WILKO

Wilkinson has a good range of homeware essentials. Always worth a look in if you are after some…read moreshampoo or other toiletries as they are often 2 for the price of 1. They sell garden things (patio furniture etc) as well as screws, lightbulbs and all the other bits and pieces you might need for your home. The DIY section can be quite useful if you don't have a car to visit the larger out of town superstores and the prices are usually less than similar items in other high street shops. There are a limited number of tills in the Chester store so you may have to queue for a while, and there is no way to leave the store without going through the till area so even if you decide the queue is too long, it may take you a while to get out again. The shop is fairly clean, although has the smell that these places usually attract; a combination of bathroom and garden products which isnt very attractive but is understandable.

Proper Liverpool institution is Home Bargains. Probably not something to shout about but…read moreconsidering Tom Morris started out by inheriting a very modest family business and turning HB into a multi million pound nationwide chain is nothing to sneer at. Cheap and cheerful is the motto - not officially but I'm guessing it's what it would be - as 'top brands at bargain prices' is the name of the game. I can't say that I have been to any HB much bigger than this store but HB's are not somewhere to do your weekly shop but more a place to get daily essentials.

I would reckon that Home Bargains is a place most people will have shopped some time or another…read more For me, I frequently shop there anyway. It is a store filled with top brands at bottom prices and the variety of basic home essentials, canned and quick snacks they sell makes it an ideal source where you can buy general everyday items. Sometimes you can get away without having to go to the bigger stores as you can often find cheaper prices and get better value for money here. After all, it is really home and bargain! The service at each till is often busy but efficient and staff will put all your items into a carrier bag, so you don't have to. You can always trust this place and you can't really go wrong.

I like the Fred Perry style of clothing which is often simple, effective and offers a rainbow of…read morecolours. In particular, I admire their range of classic Polo shirts. Even though their prices are expensive, I adore their image and simplicity of the shop. This shop is often quiet with very few customers, so it is a relaxing shopping experience tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Paradise Street. It's also an extremely tidy and clean looking shop that I did not want to touch anything! Fred Perry is another a decent, popular brand and a gem of Liverpool One.

I have and always will be a massive fan of the Fred Perry brand and was delighted to discover that…read moreLiverpool One had a store dedicated entirely too this wonderful purveyor of clothing. On entry to this small store I was astonished by the value and range which was on offer to the customer and found myself in a shopping heaven. This store deserves a mention because it is so well kept, the place always looks immaculate and the staff are on hand at all times to help even if they can be a little bit pushy at times. The Fred Perry brand has a long history which is important to the development of styles in this country over the last fifty years or so and this store really does the brand proud. They are always giving away free badges with the classic logo and various other images adorning them. On the whole a real gem of a store at the heart of Liverpool.

After a breakfast of pancakes with white chocolate and strawberries and a faux-lunch at Cheshire…read moreFarm Ice Cream, you can imagine that my little group was as hyped up as they could possibly be. What better, then, to spend the afternoon shopping. We had the time, the energy, and because of the sales, the cash. I've heard that Cheshire Oaks is very much like those subject-to-season shops I often talk about, the TK Maxxes and Home Bargains of this world. Sometimes you can go and come away armed with inexpensive goodies. Other times, no matter how much you root, there's nothing there. I however caught it on a good day. And it was a surprise and a half. What I had expected was a mall, something Arndaley or Lowry-esque, but what you actually get is what looks like a gargantuan entertainment complex with a vast car park in the middle. All the stores are decked out in a kind of mock-Tudor frontage which somehow just about manages to be endearing as opposed to tacky. And the sheer variety of stores is simply mind-boggling. We found ourselves in All Saints, Diesel, Levi's, picking up many little bargains. But there's far more than that, there are sports shops, electronics stores, homeware outlets, the list just goes on. You'd find it hard to visit everything in a single day, and it would take me about five pages to list everything. With eateries on every corner it's easy to while away the hours there. I'd heartily recommend that you download the online store guide before you go and perhaps print out a copy to ensure that you don't get lost or miss anything. With regular buses travelling to the site and nearby train stations Chester and Ellesmere Port, there's no excuse for not taking a little sojourn from the city and travelling here. I promise you, if you catch it on a good day your car boot or poor arms won't be big enough to carry all your goodies. Get involved.
