This has to be the cheapest newsagent in the city. Do you remember when Mars Bars were like 26p and…read morechewing gum was 19p then it started to creep up until in recent years it has clambered so high that you won't even get much change from a pound for a lot of choccy bars? Well, this shop is thankfully bucking the trend selling choccy bars for the 35 - 50p mark, crisps and even drinks the same. What's more, the staff are really lovely and polite. I've just got a job near this shop and I'm sure I'll be saving loads ever month because the stock is reasonably priced (I used to work near McColls on Temple Way). Avon News also has a good mix of newspapers and magazines and greetings card for that last minute panic when you realise you've forgotten your mum's birthday (never done it myself, thankfully).

What makes this newsagents stand out is its huge selection of cards - birthday, anniversary, congratulatory, well-wishing, all can be found here. Many a time I have walked into university and forgotten to send a birthday card, so this newsagents has been a saving grace!

What a wonderfully jolly man to greet you as you go in! The owner is so friendly and makes you feel…read moreright at home (even in a newsagent). He always has something funny to say about the weather...it's never as warm as India! Laughing at me as I walked in drenched and looking like a drowned rat, he had no shame in telling me all about the sun, the heat and the warm evenings he enjoys back at home. Weather aside, the shop is really good for fruit and veg, alcohol supplies and the general items you expect to find in a newsagent. I usually come in here for water, which I usually resent buying, but the bottled water is sooooo cheap here- around 30p.

This is my local newsagent and, as things should be, it plays an important part in the community…read more It's a small store opposite the Shakespeare pub and the offering isn't exceptional. Basically they sell papers and mags plus a small range of groceries, including bread, milk and eggs. What makes it great, though, is the friendly and slightly eccentric guy who runs the place. He's well known in the area for his friendly, flattering greetings. Men will receive, 'Hey, boss man, how's it going?'; while women are greeted with, 'Where's your boyfriend, James Bond?' A really cheery bloke, and he always remembers my regular order, this is what a local shop should be all about.

Just moved to the area and this shop has quickly become a firm favourite of mine. The shop keeper…read moreis friendly and loves to compliment his customers, for example he recently told me I was a very muscular young women, which was really nice. He also told me I had the valentines spirit which absolutely made my day. As someone who is partially deaf it is nice to find a business owner who make the effort to communicate clearly, there are never any misunderstandings between us x

I do love Star News and Booze. Not only does it boast an impressive selection of news items,…read moreconfectionery and tobacco, but the staff are open and friendly. Having caught a late train back to Bristol one night, I popped in here for some milk and bread on my way home. It turned out I was 30p short, but the guy behind the till turned a sympathetic blind eye and let me off - an act of good will that rarely happens in supermarket chains. If you are a fan of penny sweets, Star News and Booze also boasts an impressive selection of the 'old school' variety. Furthermore, you'll often find discounted cider and larger in here too. Indeed, if you're a cider fiend and are in the area, you won't find an outlet that sells cheaper cider than this place - nope, not even Asda Bedminster...

With park street, and indeed alot of the top of town, you will somewhat surprisingly find that…read morethere are not that many places to pick up a paper or get some chewing gum (or even some sweets if you need to satisfy your sugary craving!) Lexie's gives you the option to get those everyday desirable things, without having to walk all the way down to the tesco's at college green. Unless you live near the bottom then it would make more sense for you to go to tesco unless you want a bit more excersize! A nice clean shop, and stock's everything you would expect it to, very friendly inside.

The sun is beaming down as you face the dreaded walk up Park Street. You are nearly at the top. The Will's Memorial building is shading the sun from you, yet you are starting to feel faint from all this exercise. No worries, Lexi's is here! Pick up a sweet treat, a cheap and cheerful sandwich or a ice cold drink all for a fraction of the price that any other shop would sell. Fantastic.

A very handy 7 day a week corner shop, aptley named 'Corner News'!…read more The off license section is quite popular with most of the customers, as this shop is one of the few places in the surrounding area where you can buy some alcohol. Buy your local paper, a packet of crisps and a chocolate bar and you will immediatley feel like you live over the road! Average prices for average produce, corner news fits in with the mould that you would expect all newsagents to fall into.

As far as corner shops go, this one's pretty decent. Both an off license and a newsagents, you can…read morepurchase all the usual rags here, in addition to cigarettes, tobacco and a variety of alcoholic beverages. Sweets and groceries can also be found in their droves. And if you're looking for good deals on alcohol, this is definitely the place to find them. I picked up 6 large bottles of San Miguel beer here for a fiver the other day, and there are usually good offers on wine too. Furthermore, it seems to be permanently Christmas in Corner News - the tinsel is still up and rolls of festive wrapping paper remain on the shelves. If you can handle the festive allusions so soon after Christmas, this newsagents is worth dropping into.
