Whether you are having a party or just want somewhere to buy a cheap drink, then you should go to…read moreJays. I think this is a great shop for alcohol and they have fantastic deals too. They stock everything you need such as all your beers wines and spirits plus your mixers too. Not only do they sell alcohol, they also have fireworks and cigarettes for sale. So if you are looking for some fireworks for your bonfire then this is the place to go as it is cheap.

The best thing about independent booze shops is that they are normally a lot cheaper than their…read morecorporate rivals. Jays wine and beer shop sells everything you need for a night in or as a precursor to night out. Staff are great and unlike some booze shops this place does not feel so threatening. Thats not to say you wont get some kid ask you to go in for them- but I think you will get that everywhere.

This massive chain of shops are covered all over Tameside and is a huge business…read more Whatever you need you can count on these shops for anything ranging from alcohol to paper or frozen goods. This is a basic needs shop. The staff here are always friendly and if you require something that they do not have then they will try and get it for you. Although you most probably find it here anyway. A lot of corner shops struggle today but this kind of shop doesn't struggle as they always have business.

Warning this place is dodgy! Why else is it surrounded by underage kids every night!read more

Hmmmm. A standard corner shop in Levy very close to the train station - in fact, head straight down…read morethe steps and you're right into it. They sell all the usual canned goods, household items and convenience items you'd expect - but tbh I was a bit annoyed as I bought a single pack of gum (written with multipack all over it) for 50p (standard price, no discount) and then when I opened it later it was all soft as if it had been in stock for years - not great! Come on guys - I expected better!

If you live in Levenshulme and you get the train into central Manchester everyday, then I'm sure…read moreLifestyle Express is a place you've visited a fair few times. It's right by the train station and is mega-handy for a quick bag of crisps, bottle of ribena or the morning papers. You can be in and out in 30 seconds if you need to be. If you've got another minute on top of those original 30 seconds, then you can also get hot tea and coffee here.

Rude staff member/owner. I was returning an amazon package, I asked "Do you do amazon returns"…read more "No." When I said the return said this was the closest return point he said he only does MyHermes. Which my package was. When trying to scan the package he kept scanning the wrong barcode (the ASN of the package not the return I'd stuck on) and he didn't like that being pointed out stating "I know how to do it" with an attitude. I asked if I got a receipt the attitude came back with "I'm doing it now"

When I went into Oasis Off Licence there were literally Valentine's balloons everywhere. I didn't…read moreparticularly mind, it was just a bit of a shock, that's all. Oasis has a whole array of sprits alcohol wise that is really quite impressive. They also sell retro pickled onion monster munch which is always a bonus as far as I'm concerned. The owner of Oasis obviously cares about his shop and it's got some pretty lighting in the window to go with the excitement of the Valentine's balloons. For that, in addition to the fact that he was totally polite and friendly to me, I like Oasis. Not the band. The off licence. In Levenshulme.
