If you go to Boot's you often end up paying through the nose (although the advantage points and offers are some consolation) but at Savers you just get what you need, no frills, no tempting offers because everything is already so cheap. It sells hayfever medicine cheaper than anywhere else in town and there are all the main brands of shampoos, hair dyes and moisturisers etc at cut prices. I don't know how they do it but it's worth taking a detour if your toiletry stocks are running low.

They stock washing basics, toiletries, make up, baby bits, and now they've started stocking some food too! On top of all the things here that are already cheaper than usual, they always have offers on. The main draw are their prices; I just paid 89p for Vaseline, the new Loreal Perfect Colour 10 hair dye for £3.99, and 20 bin liners for 69p. It isn't as if you're getting lower quality for a lower price, as all their items are of known brands. A really great shop to save some pennies!

This newly opened Boots has replaced their longstanding store just ten seconds further down. I'm…read moreincreasingly confused about why the good people of Boots spent the time and money to make this venture - as it is seems to be exactly the same inside! You may think that every Boots in the country is going to be the same; generic, bland but ultimately useful. But you'd be wrong! This Boots is FANTASTIC. It's absolutely massive for a start so you're bound to find whatever cosmetic or pharmaceutical product you're after. And best of all it has the most helpful and friendly staff of any shop in Bath. Whenever I've been in, one of the shop assistants has been at hand to help me find me exactly what I'm after or recommend something new to me. This Boots also has a great range of cosmetics and perfumes which I've never seen in any of their other stores. My best buy here has been the new Prada perfume at £35 which was sold out everywhere else I'd been.

Boots should have stayed in their original position, which was a much bigger store, and saved themselves a packet of money. The layout has been kept more or less the same, though, which is a boon, as I got to know my way around the other one pretty well when hunting for cold remedy and the like. It's just that I hate coming into Westgate. Bah.

It reminds me of the Wand shop Harry visits on Diagon Alley, with boxes stacked up ceiling high.... Also, like Harry Potter, the shop keepers know exactly the right treatments to ail your malady.

My experience of pharmacies have thus far been big, bright places like Boots, but Buxton's has got a charm of traditionality and low lighting. They specialise in homeopathy, so offer alternative remedies than may be suggested by your GP. The pharmacist I talked to was very helpful and willing to give her time. They're a well known business and have a very good reputation for postal services of obscure remedies that are difficult to obtain. A very good establishment.

Some of these cause side effects which are easier to tolerate than the disease. The Pharmacy are always very helpful in helping me identify which symptoms are likely to be side effects and if these are serious enough to warrant a visit to my G.P. Being a busy working mum with my own Business means I work away a lot. I do not have the time to visit my G.P. much. The Pharmacy's help is invaluable in helping me decide if a visit is necessary. The Pharmacy can also Pre-order regular Medications for me that can take a couple of days to come through from the Manufacturer. This means I can pick them up the same day I get the Prescription from my G.P. So, all in all a great service and Many Thanks !!

The service you receive is always prompt and efficient and the drug you require is usually in stock, if not, they will get it the next day.

In the other side of the store there is a huge range of toiletries and some great gift sets, and they usually have some really good offers on. A lovely shop.

Because I wasn't familiar with the brands, I got the assistance of a young lady who worked in the Medicine Dept. She asked thorough questions to make sure she recommended the right one.

Probably even more departments in the back that I didn't see.

I am a person from a minority ethnic background and I just know the motive was pure racism. I didn't bother saying anything more because did not want to cause any DRAMA.

Now I used to it, its not so bad! Staff are very friendly, they provide helpful advise and stocks are usually good on most items I buy.
