I have a little problem when it comes to TK Maxx - I could literally spend half a day here. I love their homeware section in Balnchardstown it is really big and very well spaced out unlike so many of their stores. They really have everything under one roof in this branch so if you are a bargain hunter I would highly recommend it - the kids section is also very large. Don't be put off if you've been to some of the smaller ones where there is stuff everywhere. Also there is very rarely a Q to pay or for the changing rooms so it really is a nice shopping experience. It is located in one of the little retail parks just off to the side of the shopping centre.

TK Maxx boasts 45 percent off regular prices, but often the clothes on offer seem to be those that the designer was having a bit of a practice with. I personally like the bric-a-brac section, where you can find great one-off Christmas presents, coffee table books and foreign biscuits.

I went away with a pair of runners that I'm really happy with. The store seems to cater for people who are quite serious about their exercise and there's even a section of the place where super-buff guys exercise topless (disclaimer: this may not be a constant feature!)

As far as I could figure out, Base2Race is a kind of a triathlon superstore, with a few different…read morespecialist shops under one roof. The shop is upstairs and tucked into a back corner of the "Fashion City" campus in Ballymount Industrial estate. I came looking for Amphibian King, who specialise in running shoes and gear. I needed a new pair of runners and was taken through a very impressive fitting process which included properly measuring my feet, doing a gait analysis (both running and walking) and trying out a few different pairs of shoes which met my weird needs. I visited at off-peak hours so I had loads of time to ask questions and get recommendations on both runners and different types of socks from a helpful member of staff. He really seemed to know his stuff, he could tell me what I needed (and why!) and he was pretty straight with me about the actual differences in performance between shoes at different price points. The stock is quite specialist so it falls under the pricey catalogue, but when you take the fitting process and customer service into account I felt like I got good value. I'll be back!

First impressions of this shop is that there is excellent selection and range but you are tempted to go through the racks to find your size, as you might anywhere. However you do need the help of the shop assistant as they keep a lot of their selection in the back or, in some cases only have one of that size, which can be annoying. The shop assistant was so rude on the day I was there. She wanted to tell us that everything was pretty and was clearly just hunting for a sale. When she didn't like something so much, rather than be honest, she'd just stay quiet or ask if you liked it. Her style was definitely at odds with my own and rather than accept that and just help with sizes, she got very snippy with me. Ordinarily, I'd mark a business down to one or two for this type of service. However, I did think the selection was good and the shop was quite roomy. Plus, she may have been having a bad day! The actual clothes for the most part are pitched at women 50+ yet there are a few gems in the occasion dresses for the younger punter. The sizes are very small fitting. You'll have to be prepared to move up the range. It seemed to range from 6-16 with a mix in also of S-L. You'll be actively encouraged by the staff to head up the road to the seamstress to get adjustments made. The accessories selection is sparse. Interestingly, they had some great coats and wraps and throw tops, great, I thought in particular for covering arms. Take a deep breath and exercise diplomacy when you go in here and I think you'll find a gem!

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there were several items in store that I would actually be able to afford if I didn't pay next month's rent. There was a gorgeous fitted black jacket and a lovely white dress, and both were on the sale rack for only 50 euro. So definitely head this way for great clothing and you might just find that what you want is on sale! The changerooms are very lust worthy as well - thick black velvety curtains and to-die-for black and gold patterned wallpaper. So lush - love it!

Vero Moda's post in The Square is a well planned, carefully maintained shop, an excellent stop on any clothes buying spree.

I do really like some of the stuff you can get in here, there is always a nice jacket to be got or a top that is a bit different to everything else out there. Unfortuantely for me vero moda is not a fan of me or my shape. Most girls will konw that there are certain shops where the clothes just do not fit them well and other shops have stuff that you would think is specifically tailored for you, well Vero moda is just not designed for me. and this makes me sad cause i really want the things in here to fit me better :-( woe is me. Oh well! I'll have to stick to their accessories and the odd t-shirt!
