This type of shop is unfortunately perfectly at home in London Road. The 99p store joins the ever…read moregrowing population of discount stores in the area that also includes the likes of 'Poundsense' and 'Poundstretcher'. I'm not a huge fan of this place, especially as it comes at the cost of local business. If you are a regular user of stores like 'Poundland' then this shop is right up your alley; they have a very similar product range, stocking everything from perfume to breakfast cereal. I mainly come here for the energy drinks (4 for 99p). I would say that if you're looking for bargains, 99p store has a few, although so do all of the other nearby stores and so too does Sainsbury with the basics range of products.

What do you expect for a pound? Well, I didn't expect 9 bags of McCoys crisps for a pound, and…read morestill with a good couple of weeks left before the expiration of the sell by date. But when you think about how far expiry dates are set into the future, how long have these crisps been around for? Cleaning products, tacky Christmas decorations and afore mentioned snacks are all you can get away with buying from here. Anything else will most likely dissolve in your hands before you get them home.

My one piece of advice would be, if you see a bargin, grab it while you can as it may not be there next time you go. The staff are friendly and helpful but don't know themselves what is going to be on the next delivery. There is a small car park attached to store but this is often full, there is a council pay and display carpark just across the road. A shop well worth popping into regularly to spot a bargin or two.

A relatively new addition to Brighton's bustling North Street, they were just opening over Christmas. Some of the stuff's pretty tacky, framed Spiderman posters and holographic Twilight images being the prime suspects, but the furniture is good value and all very chic, from glass coffee tables and computer desks to leather sofas. At the back of the shop there are discounted rugs, brightly coloured fluffy ones, all very modern and half the original price, and if you ever need a suitcase or luggage holdall, this is the place to come. The shop does look a bit bare, and they do tend to stock multitudes of the tat but only small selections of the good stuff, making it look like they forgot to fill it up. Worth a look if you're looking for something listed above.

M and B Domestic Appliances can be a little gold mine if you're after a stereo amplifier of kettle…read moreon the cheap. It's like a modern day rag and bone merchant where the ex-medical skeleton and selection of horse brasses have been replaced by out of date HIFI equipment and old Hotpoint washing machines. As you enter the first thing that might strike you is the fact that all the stock, despite being second hand, seems to be marked up slightly above recommended retail price. Try not to be put off by this as with any rag and bone slash junk shop these prices should be treated as a starting point for a good haggle rather than a reason to leave. Sadly though, there is a reason why some of the more genteel or mild-mannered folks among us might want to leave, and that is the extremely lax approach to service and foul language of the ever changing selection of people working here. I popped in today for a quick browse and found that not only could I not get close to the stock but there appeared to be a domestic argument going on between the shop keeper and a woman at the back of the store. Don't be disheartened though, as there are a few rarities to be picked up here if you endure.

I asked her to trace it through my bank card but she said no we don't do that here. She was very rude when I was questioning her over it which then got my back up,

This is quite a small Mr Cheap shop, right in the city. Our pound shops used to be Cut Price (which…read moreI liked better) and when they all closed most of the shops were taken up by Mr Cheap shops. This store is in a pretty great location with all the bus stops nearby. If I'm already shopping in Commercial Road I might pop in this branch, but as there is now a Poundland just a across the Road, I'd probably shop in there. They are still good value though, and this one seems to have quite a lot of bits for the kitchen in it. Stock doesn't seem to change very often (unlike Poundland) so I find it's not really worth going in unless I need something. This time of year they're always full of cheap Christmas decorations.

It's my first stop for bin liners, cleaning products, and tealights.. so cheap! Cake tins, tupperware, air fresheners, I always have a look in poundland first. Don't be fooled though as some things do work out cheaper elsewhere. Shop wisely! Shop around ;)
