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.

I LOVE this store. I could have literally spent hours in…read morehere. Their Health and Beauty sections are both enormous and full of cheap goodies! Perfect for basic things like shampoo and conditioner, they do some of the more expensive brands for much less than it's competitors (Boots/Superdrug- I picked up some John Frieda conditioner for 5 quid less than the same product at Boots) It's truly a jungle of inexpensive goodies and i'd definitely recommend going here for gifts- they have bath and beauty sets on offer and lots of perfume that looks far more expensive than it is. The staff were really helpful and friendly and had a really human quality about them- YES we actually had a real conversation (maybe a normal thing outside of London but still took me off guard). Our cashier was mega-efficient and really knew about the products he was selling as well as their place in the store. A cheap lovely version of Heaven for bargain-hunters!

For this merry store has it all. Homeward section is enormous and boasts almost anything you could wish to find. Shame there's not one in East London- seems to have all the little houseybasics that I'm bound to forget I need (a dish drying rack, laundry bin etc) Definitely recommend for cheap and cheerful homeward purchases, not necessarily incredible quality but enough that it doesn't fall apart the minute you get home!

All the girls bring the approach of the good old fashioned local general store,with first name terms in place and always something to giggle about. You're all great!!! Martin

This store has got so many bad reviews that decided to exit Google, so you can't find any Google…read morereviews for this shop anymore. 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!

Rock Bottom is a discount store selling a wide variety of different items at rock bottom prices…read more They sell kids toys and bits for around the house from cushions to tin openers and all sorts of other bits. Good place to go if you are starting a new home and need loads of basic bits and can't afford to spend a lot lets face it who can when they're just starting out eh! You do have to watch the quality on some of the stuff, I've seen bits in there which yeah they're cheap, but they're so flimsy it would be false economy buying them as you'd waste money in the long run coz they'd only last 10 minutes. It's also pretty inaccessible if you need a wheelchair, the isles aren't wide enough to get one round, and I don't think they have a lift so you wouldn't be able to get upstairs. Add to that the big step at the door and it's not an easy shop to access unless you're walking.

i love poundland lol…read more such a completely random range of products, in one trip i picked up a padlock for my shed, a first aid kit and some teabags! where else can you get that in sucha a small store? the queues tend to be horrendous though and the place always looks cramped and untidy.

Ahh, Poundland, what can I say? It's a wonderfully eclectic place. As suggested by the name,…read moreeverything is £1 (or however many for £1), except for sale items which are usually down to 50p or 75p. The shop itself is usually very busy, and they rarely have enough staff on the tills, so you can end up queueing for a while. The aisles are quite narrow, so it can be tricky to maneuvre if you have a buggy or are a wheelchair user. Despite this I have given it a high rating because you can get some brilliant bargains, and it's a good place to start teaching the kids about shopping and paying for things because everything is the same price.

Shunned by snobs, Poundland in Stevenage is a nice little haven for bargain hunters and those on a…read morebudget. Yes the signs outside with the offers on can make the place look a little tacky, but ignore it and you'll find a great store with good items for only a pound. They sell items for, gardening, food & drink, beauty, pets, clothing, cleaning, health, art, dvds and cds, headphones and more. There are often offers for 2-for-1 on items too so it can be even cheaper. This is a great place to stock up on essentials such as toothpaste, mouthwash, tea and coffee, plasters. So a good place to stop before a holiday or a festival. The only thing I'd say is go to Poundland first before doing the rest of your shopping because the place gets packed and you won't be able to move about otherwise.

They often have a 20 percent sale or more. The shop assistants are very happy and helpful. If you are in the area you should pop in for a bargain!
