Supporting local retailers is important and the likes of Chester's Francis Thomas make it so easy…read more The fruit and veg in any of Francis' shops are always in good condition and the price is so much lower than you'll find in your local supermarket. Instead of the plastic, overly perfect fruit and veg you see in your supermarkets the fruit and veg here are natural and as they should be covered in a bit of dirt and different shapes and size. Natural looking fruit and veg at very good prices.

Have you noticed recently all those adverts on TV offering to buy your gold if you send it to them?…read moreApparently the value of gold has soared in the last year or so and everyone is cashing in their sovereigns and hoops. I came to May's to do that, and got a rather reasonable £60 for something I never would have worn again. If you're really desperate, you can pawn something you DO want back on the premise that they'll loan you the amount it's worth. They'll keep the item for up to 7 months, although I don't like the idea of not being able to keep up with the repayments (plus their interest) and losing that cherished heirloom forever... There's loads of great deals on second hand and new jewellery too, with diamond rings starting as little as £50 and continuing upwards of £2,000 but when I look at some pieces I can't help wondering whether the previous owners were unlucky or willing sellers.

I've shopped with Mays for over 20 years and have always received great service from the staff!…read more Their prices are really competitive and they offer great prices when pawning items too. Highly recommend to everyone I know!

Perhaps not the best wholesaler's to do a staple meat shop. But, fantastic for stuff you wouldn't…read morefind in your everyday supermarket. I've got Dales popcorn chicken in the oven as I type, enough for two people. It's not even half the bag. And I have the appetite of a rhinoceros with the munchies. Burglars beware, for in my freezer sits a rack of ribs that could stun a bear. Perhaps the tastiest of blunt instruments, Professor Plum could use them in his kitchen if Colonel Mustard was acting up. There's fish aplenty too, and types I'm not sure I've seen on sale in Liverpool before. Dales is a hidden gem, so not too many members of the public shop here. But food purveyors, from cafe owners to Chinese restaurateurs, are aplenty, which shows how good this place is. I bought a massive pack of rice noodles for a mere four quid. If I wanted to, I'm pretty sure they could feed me every night for at least a fortnight. You can get 24 odd cans of Pepsi for about a fiver, for which you have to pay cash. I've just gotta get the JD to go with it and I'll be laughing!

Place has gone down in my estimation, 2 years ago it was such a great place to shop, now it is such…read morea let down. Tall polish girl in shop has horrible attitude towards customers and talks to you like something she dragged in off the street. I only asked her for some advice on party foods and she virtually growled at me. Telling me to look for myself and if I didn't like the shop to go elsewhere. Older gentleman at tills watches all customers like they are thieves, following you around the shop and then checking everything that is going in your bags at the end when you have already paid. I have stopped shopping there as you are not treated with any kind of respect and the prices are going higher and higher every week.
