The staff are helpful. The small gifts they sell inside are good for party bags or just small gifts to give to people. They have some books at the back which are good. At the front of the shop they have interesting gadgets that are good to look at. All the products inside are good quality and very fun. I would recommend visiting this shop if you want a gag, a joke or a funny book for someone.

Having read previous reviews about Buyology I think they've missed the point. Think of it as a…read moremutliprice discount retailer eg. Poundland with items that cost more and less than a pound. What you're getting here is redundant stock and nearly out of date food at cheap prices. Admittedly there are some cheap, low quality products in there but pick and choose what you buy. Quite a lot of the food is heavily discounted compared to supermarkets which is great, the only problem is that the next time you go back they might not have the same product. Generally this doesn't bother me, for example they've always got discounted crisps but not necessarily the same brand. I have once experienced a product being poor because it was close to its sell by date but I've saved so much over other products its not a worry. The shop has loads of selection and such a wide range of products that whenever we need something at home I pop in to Buyology to see if they've got it. I haven't had much experience dealing with the staff but the one time I did ask if they had any more stock of an item a gentleman checked their delivery that had just arrived and got me another one - he did say it was rare being able to get it that easy off the delivery but half the thing for me is that he actually made the effort to go and look.

Buyology is a large discount store on the Wylds Road Industrial Estate in Bridgwater. It used to be…read moreknown as Hyper Value Mega Store. When it was Hyper Value it seemed rather empty and low on stock. Now its a Buyology Store its packed with goods (many of them still in cardboard boxes) and it takes a while to walk around the whole store. The stock is typical of most discounts stores and prices are low as you would expect. I think these shops can be useful for buying little things that you don't want to spend too much on and I usually buy things like candles, stationery or pens from Buyology. This shop has a large stock of children's books and games but not of them looks worth buying! I recently bought a cheap dictionary and a thesaurus from Buyology, which was a mistake as they have hardly any words in them! The dictionary doesn't even include Aardvark!

Angel Place seemed pretty modern back in the 80's and it hasn't really been updated since then the flags and signs outside are faded and the plants outside are usually dead looking! The centre is on 2 levels with glass lifts up to the toilets and car parks. Shops in Angel place include Iceland, Wilkinson's, Adams, Superdrug, a Card Warehouse. The centre also has a shauls bakery and a cafe called Angels Cafe

They sell clothing, although it is mostly black and quite gothic. They sell some very nice scarves in a variety of beautiful colours. They are definitely worth buying as they go with a lot of things.

However I am sure if you investigate a lot of the high street stores you will find exactly the same, at least they are trying to do the right thing by opening factories etc which do not employ young children. They also let the public have the benefit of cheap clothes unlike others who blatantly lie for the price tag. The clothes in Primark are cheap and fashionable. Not all good quality but if you delve into their jumble style rails you can find great things. 100% cotton tee shirts and shirts ( I bought a really smart shirt the other day for £1.00) Underwear and night wear, shoes and accessories. Mens jeans at £4.00 (ok for work!) mens jumpers at £6.00 Great looking clothes at the fraction of the cost. In these hard days I am glad to say we have such a shop on the high street.

Some of their clothes can be quite good. Unfortunately, this only spans as far as the women's…read moreclothes. The men's selection is dire.

Off Licence department very reasonable and extensive, often has offers on beer and wine and champagne. Great fresh fish counter and butchery. Fantastic value all under one roof.

You dont get points or rewards although it does come in handy if you have lost a receipt and they can look back at the records. The clothes are cheap but not as cheap or indeed the same quality as Primark. The houseware dept however sells good quality bedding and towels and crockery and for this reason I would shop in Matalan, good quality and good prices. Its just a shame that it is out of the way.
