Cheap to moderately priced homewares, and doing well no doubt as few other retailers appear to be…read morehomeware focused quite like these chaps. Some really nice things here, but it might take a little hunt through some tat. Strange to see the car park ramajammed with cars, MFI for years had the obligatory 3 cars maximum when the manager, cleaner and sales assistant were all in together. Minus one star for tat and a poor range in some things... why when you go to these places for something basic eg a mug, must we have 500 varieties of mugs with horrid designs and not a sturdy beige mug in sight.... I also hear they're not great employers (at least locally), so be nice to the staff even if they look miserable!

With the credit crunch continuing to bite it's no wonder that Home Bargains are going strong. The…read moreBangor store is one of three new branches to open in North West Wales recently, along with Rhyl and Llangefni. It seems that they have bought a job lot of old Kwik Save stores as like quite a few of the others this shop is located in the an Kwik Save. For the uninitiated Home Bargains sell various household products at bargain prices. The range includes food and drink, cleaning materials, toiletries, toys, soft furnishings and kitchen equipment but you really need to visit to get a better idea. Some items come and go very quickly. For example they recently had packets of McVities mini digestives for 10p which had an rrp of 49p. These disappeared more or less overnight. However they also have permanent product lines. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for toilet rolls, toothpaste, deodorant or microwave rice amongst others. This store is handily located on Caernarfon Road (it's not far from Matalan) and has a more than adequate carpark. It's a big store for a Home Bargains and has wide aisles so it's easy to get round. The product line is much the same as other branches but because of it's size it's well stocked. If you've never been to a Home Bargains give it a go, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Being tight as I am, I'm a big fan of the Home Bargains chain of stores. Rarely do you find…read moreanything cheaper elsewhere that you do in Home Bargains and often, even when you think you've gotten a good deal from somewhere such as Poundland, you find the item in Home Bargains for 79p or even less. I'm amazed that they can sell products so cheaply. The Bangor store opening recently is brilliant because before that I had to travel 30 miles or so to Llandudno to visit one. The Bangor store is a good size, which is pleasing, but it's still full to the brim with items for sale. I last went in there today and they had lots of new lines in, which is always a good thing. Some baskets are in there for £2.99, which seems a bargain as they're a good size and they look good quality. They had their usual arrangement of sweets, followed by toiletries, then gifts for him and for her - which make ideal Christmas presents for teenage girls and boys, as well as adults, then the toys. They had a variety of nightwear and baby items, and medicines, then cleaning products, and then the bottom half is concentrated on foods and drinks, whilst the top half is divided into household goods such as baking equipment, rugs and pictures, with some more toys and games at the very top. The Bangor store seems very well organised and the shelves are always fully stocked. It also seems to be in a prime location - not too close to Bangor city centre, but definitely not too far a walk, and worth the bus fare anyway.

The Bath Store had a huge range of baths, showers, toilets, hand basins and fittings for bath…read morerooms. We went into the shop having seen a particular bath on the website, the staff could see we had a made a choice and showed us the bath we asked to see. We were then asked questions to make the decisions for our purchase, for example what type of taps, and whether we wanted a plug and chain. I did not feel any pressure or hard sell, though the staff member was very thorough in ensuring we had everything we wanted and needed. We ordered Friday afternoon and delivery was promised for the following Wednesday which seemed to be very efficient. The show room seemed to be very well laid out with plenty of choice.

Matalan is an out of town discount retailer providing great value fashion items and homewares…read more They have a Membership Card scheme which is free to join but just gives you some extra benefits, like money saving offers and regular updates by mail. The fashion in Matalan is up-to-date and offers a good selection of own brand items along with well known brands like Pringle, Wrangler, Calvin Klein, Falmer and Playtex. They have clothes for all ages, men, women and Children. Whilst the clothes are cheap they dont comprimise on Quality. I have just bought a great value Christmas Party Outfit - Dress £20, Bag £2.50, Shoes £12 Its unbeatable value. The Homeware range is excellent value for money and they always have the latest styles and products on offer. It's a great place to buy Christmas Gifts and Decorations, I always manage to find beautiful and unique Christmas Decorations and Cards. Whilst the location is out of town and not easy to get to it s well worth the extra mileage to get the bargains. Parking is great too, always plenty of spaces nearby. Another bonus is that Matalan now accepts Love to shop Vouchers which I always save up from Cash Back Sites and work related promotions so my the end of the year I have a nice stash of vouchers so spend on all sorts of goodies from my local Matalan store.

Can't really fault the place. They sell clothes that are of a pretty decent quality at low prices…read more If you're looking for menswear but don't go in for all that poofy fashion stuff that's all the rage these days, you'll have no trouble finding solid basics at Matalan. If you want to look like Russell Brand in frilly shirts, waistcoats, pink tshirts etc you're better off at topman, but for a pair of standard blue jeans, maybe a shirt for work, or a casual tshirt that's not covered in flower print, Matalan's the place to go. Well, Matalan or Next, Next dearer with no tangible difference in quality (I shop at both) Matalan also stock have plenty of fashionable womenswear, and even stuff for my gran too. Plenty of kids clothes, though I find that baby clothes tend to vary in quality quite a bit. Believe it or not the better baby clothes tend to be from tesco and asda. There's a homeware section that seems reasonably priced, they have very nice quilt covers at less than hal;f the price of Debenhams etc. There's also a kids toys and books section that seems to just sell rubbish to be honest. They could maybe get rid of this and maybe have a bit more shoes or something. There's never a problem parking thanks to the huge car park, more than can be said for Debenhams, Topman or Burtons. Worth a look, don't be snobbish about the place, if you're heading to Next pop into Matalan first for a browse, it might surprise you.

Local business, so decided to give them a try. Bought a new PC, prebuilt. I've paid a lot more for…read morea lot less from other suppliers. Gave examples of what I wanted - staff checked in the store to make sure it matched the specifications. Worked perfectly out of the box. Came with everything needed (didn't need cables, etc, but offered for free if I did). Went back two days later for a new monitor - cables, etc, again offered for free. Set up immediately. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. If you're in Bangor and need a PC or parts for it, or repairs, I really don't think you could do better.

The guy who answered the phone seem to know what the problem was immediately. He suggested I bring it in for a quick diagnosis so that you could give me a rough cost of the repair. Later that day I took it into the store which is conveniently located on the high street with some parking a few yards up from the shop. I was served by a young chap quickly attached my computer to their screens. He concluded that the power supply had indeed blown. But wasn't sure if it had taken anything out with it. He asked if I can go and get a cup of coffee while he checked it out further. I gave my details and booked the computer in. I had to do a bit of shopping anyway so I went to the local superstore to kill some time. I wasn't there long before I had a text asking if I could call the shop. I made the call and was glad to hear that It was just the power supply that need replacing. They gave me a quote which I was very happy with and told me that the computer would be ready for collection in 15 Minutes. I finish my shopping and return to the computer shop to see my computer on the counter running with all my files still in the same place. So if you have a computer that needs repairing I can 100% recommend these guys. polite, fast, Knowledgeable and reasonably priced.
