A family run business in a lovely market town. The Yorkshire store is a family run business and has…read moreexpanded from 1 to 2 shops. The original shop sells really nice quality cards and wrapping paper and other must have items for celebrations. They also have a fabulous stock of interesting gifts for when you are trying to be inspired for that little something different. The shop itself is long and narrow on the ground floor and is crammed packed with goodies. At the far end of the shop is a childrens section which has nice little quality gifts in the party range budget. A limited supply of books is also available too. Upstairs is a popular cafe and this is not usually too busy so you will not have a long time to wait for a nice cup of yorkshire tea! The newer shop sells quality clothes from bigger manufacture's names for example Hoobs and East amongst others. As the shop selss a variety of clothing there is obviously not the choice as you would expect in the bigger shops however I can always find something I like. This shop also sells lots of accessories like jewellery, bags and has a limited range of shoes

This is a brilliant shop for bargains (as the name suggests!). It's located just next to Argos, and…read moreopposite Sainsbury's, on the very edge of the main town centre. I only have one small niggle with the location, and that's the fact that it's on the outside, so if you park in the upstairs car park (which sadly I had to do last week as there was no room left in the downstairs open air section), you have to make a conscious effort to walk outside (away from the rest of the shops) to get to Home Bargains. Sadly, because it was in completely the opposite direction, I just forgot to call in last time, and wanted to kick myself when I drove past it on my way out of the car park! Anyway, niggles aside, it's a brilliant shop. They have a good selection of toys, always significantly cheaper than anywhere else. They also sell a good range of household products, kitchenware and bedding, also things like washing up liquid and washing conditioner - all at really good prices. They stock a good range of cheap gifts, and always have cheap food - nothing fresh, but they do stock tinned food, biscuits, coffee, crisps, that sort of thing. Often they are a bit closer to their sell by dates than you may get in the major supermarkets, but they are still within the dates and much cheaper, so it's definitely worth a look! Recommended!

I love home bargains, it is located just on the outside of the Hill Street shopping centre. It…read moresells everything from deodorants, to towels, to gifts sets to toys to food, crisps and alcohol. All at highly discounted prices to what you'd pay else wear. I often get shampoo and Conditioner in here for the same price I'd pay for one in Boots, exactly the same brands, quantities etc. There is usually only one or two people on the till which can be very annoying as by the tills it is quite cramped. I would deffinatly check if something's in here first before spending a lot more else where though as everything you get in here is a bargain.

Wilkinson's sells a variety of stuff: toiletries, cosmetics, toys, gardening, DIY, furnishings,…read morefood, stationery, household cleaning, pet care and it even has a café. This Wilkinson's is often busy but it's very easy to move around the store still. You will probably have a short wait at the tills. You can carry your items in a traditional basket, a trolley or a basket with wheels and a long handle! It has good value products and the main downstairs area is usually stocked with seasonal items. The café has excellent customer service, great prices and I've enjoyed the food every time I've visited. Some of the till staff are really friendly, while some can be really miserable! Overall, it's a fairly tidy and well-stocked store.

However, you won't be left wanting more choice as there are plenty of things that you can get here. We mainly shop here for toiletries and other items that are needed regularly. The prices are usual wilkinsons value, and recently they have been running a student discount offer which entitles us to 10% off everything in store. Sadly this offer is now closed but theres still lots of good offers on, and some prices are good even when not on offer.

It sells a wide range of gifts and cards; pretty trinket boxes, jewellery, pashminas, scarves, unusual clothing and witty fridge magnets among other gifts. Many of the cards the shop sells are very pretty and rather unusual and you'd be hard pushed tofind them anywhere else. They're not overly expensive either. There's probably something to suit most people you know. Well worth a visit if you're looking for an unusual or unique present.

This shop, as the name suggests, sells bargains - it really does! I have seen loads of toys there, selling for much less than you can get them elsewhere. They also sell gifts like make up bags and toiletry sets, and household products like cleaning fluids, washing up liquid, etc. They have a nice range of cheap stationery items like sellotape dispensers, and drawing pads, pencils, glitter glues etc. It's a brilliant place to stock up with things to entertain the kids! They also sell household items like bedding, kitchenware, laundry baskets etc. And have a pretty good range of food items like crisps, biscuits, coffee etc. Often these are a little closer to their sell by dates than you may find in the big supermarkets, but nevertheless they are still within the sell by dates, and significantly cheaper! This is a brilliant shop, overall. There is one problem, however - the check outs! There is always a queue, and there's always a problem if something doesn't have a price sticker on it. Any queries have to be referred to a manager, so you're left standing there while they call one over. Other than that, it's a great shop, and worth the inconvenience of the check out queues in order to grab a bargain!

Home Bargains sells toiletries, some food stuff, a small range of drinks, household items, toys, greeting cards and arts and crafts bits and bobs. It is the kind of store where you nip in for some shampoo and lesve with 3 carrier bags full! One tip is that if you see something that is a total bargain then stock up because chances are they will probably sell out quickly and they don't always stock the same things.

This branch of T K Maxx is located in the new Captain Cook's Square in Middlesbrough town centre. I…read moremust confess, I prefer the branch on Teesside Retail Park. This branch is all on one floor, and seems a bit jumbled to me. They sell clothing, shoes, bags, toys, ornaments etc. I always like to take a look in if I'm in the town centre, as I would hate to miss a bargain, and you CAN get bargains here, but you have to be lucky, and you have to be prepared to rummage for them! I personally find the clothing expensive, even though it is discounted. But they do carry a nice line in reduced price toys and games, although I don't think they have a big a selection at the Teesside Park branch. There always seem to be queues at the check outs, too.
