We could have stayed there for hours. The cafe is just that, a standard snack serving cafe, nothing outstanding but the service was exceptional. But the greatest benefit is the massive selection of women's and men's clothes, from the ordinary to top quality. Something for everyone. It might have been an 80mile round journey, but worth it and we will go again before Christmas to get a few more bargains.

This one goes out to all the senior citizens... boy, I get cooler by the day :P…read more Be warned this place can be terrifying. It's so big when you enter that you can't even see the far walls beyond the vast sea of clothing stands in front of you, all arranged in a grid that forces you to move pac-man style through the aisles whilst dodging slow-moving pensioners on all sides. I think it's my uber-cool little sister's idea of hell. Not exactly my idea of a good time, and I'm not about to suggest it should be yours! But they do have a huge range of middle-aged-to-elderly mens and womenswear, much of it from branded labels at outlet prices (think Austin Reed, Moss Bros, Jaeger, Hobbs etc), plus things like bed linen, books, perfumes and stationery. Whilst I may have turned 30, I haven't grannyfied my wardrobe just yet - I'm actually suggesting you earn some good grandkid brownie points by bringing your nan here to browse and bargain-hunt. Yes it'll be two hours of your life you won't get back but it's well organised, saves them the stresses of the big malls, and the pensioners love it (there's always plenty of them enjoying the cafe at the back!). As well as doing something nice out of the goodness of your heart, you might just strike it lucky as I did and find one of the handful of things in the store that someone under 40 might actually wear (and my little sis approved of!). In my case, a gorge Adrianna Papell work dress reduced from its £139 RRP to a £30 outlet bargain, that I'm proudly wearing to the office to combat the back-to-work blues today. Boom :)

The Mander Centre is the main shopping centre serving Wolverhampton, I called here after watching…read moreManchester City play at the Molineux, hoping to kill some time before travelling back to Manchester, with the trains expected to be busy because of the match. The Mander Centre is a decent sized shopping mall, although a large amount of the units now remain empty, it seems to have slightly filled a bit since the latest reviews for here, with the opening of a large, new Debenhams store, but still the mall can't help but give off a depressing, empty feel, which even happened on quite a big day, with an event in the city which surprised me. The main changes in the development were mainly to create ten larger stores, and that seems to be the only good thing the Mander Center is good for now, as well as housing a Starbucks store (which like the mall is a poor branch and oddly shaped) The layout of the mall is slightly unusual, and it can be hard to navigate especially for a first-timer to the mall with a few large turnings etc. Even the website for the centre is outdated in the sense, it talks about the development plans and store openings for over a year ago now. Shops located here include Boots, Debenhams, Ryman, Superdrug, Three and Vision Express - the overall selection isn't too impressive. The main shopping centre for Wolverhampton remains pretty basic, and although development plans seemed to have improved it slightly, the overall odd and depressing feel remains so I sadly feel Wolverhampton's Mander Center only deserves a two-star rating, which even then I feel is slightly generous.

Can you believe the nearest Marks and Spencer's Outlet store we have is in West Bromwich?! You…read morewould think they would have them popping up everywhere. They have some classic basics in formal work attire at amazing prices, like £10 for a shirt! With the quality and that price, you cannot help but relent to the bargains. The Outlet even has a sale section - although I thought the Outlet was meant to sell reduced items so when those items are reduced to a "sale", you know they're as cheap as can be! But this area of the shop isn't well-maintained and quite frankly it's too much of a headache to sift through! The staff members are very friendly and polite. They always explain that you can only exchange online or in that store, which was very useful to know because I assumed I would be able to exchange in a regular M&S store.

Wonder no more, for they end their days in this clearance outlet just outside of West Brom town centre. As these clearance shops go, it is decent. The stock is well organised and tidy. The items on sale are predominantly for the older market - think Per Una and Classic Collection. Though you will sometimes find the odd sequinned cat suit or marabou trimmed cocktail dress. The underwear isn't bad either, especially if you are looking to stock up on basics. They sell mainly women's clothing and accessories, but there is a small range of menswear too. There are also some bargain toiletries and gift items up for grabs. Everything is well cheap, though it perhaps isn't the most cheerful of shopping destinations.

This store reminded me of a Big Lots, maybe an Ollies in design, A huge amount of merchandise, a lot of different things.

Whether your after a new TV, cutlery, a cot, ornaments and vases, bedding, or religious accessories that you may need for the temple, they sell it in here. The prices are not bad, and considering that there is a lot of competition on Soho Rd with similar outlets, this is one of the nicer places to shop. What I particularly like about this shop is they always burn incense on the shelves behind the till, which always creates that welcoming and home feel atmosphere.

They have a wide range of electrical home appliances, kitchenware, musical instruments, toys, decorations and religious artefacts! They even stock fireworks all year round! As you would expect from the range of products they sell; the store is large and bursting with stock. Their window display gives you a taste of how vibrant their product variety is. It's a family-run business, which is probably why it has an informal and relaxed atmosphere. Their prices vary. Some products are a little dear to what popular High Street stores would offer, although they offer a repair service so you could seek technical support if something goes wrong with your appliance. On the other hand, I bought tall vases for wedding centrepieces for just £3 each, which is a bargain!
