They have plenty of variety in stock, including a fantastic range of discounted brand name food. They also stock items such as bread and milk, so you could effectively do your food shopping there, barring any frozen goods. The toy section is laid out in brand named categories, making it easy to see what they have for different age categories. B&M also stocks a good range of homeware items and was very quick to change the seasonal stock. A more upmarket version of the local Home Bargains store, with the same value for money prices.

I quite like the clothes in this shop and i can usually find nice basic clothing that fits well,…read morelasts long and looks quite nice. Everything in the store is easy to find and is sectioned into specific areas such as menswear, womens clothing, lingerie and children's clothing. I see a lot of mums buy children's clothing and it is very popular as it is usually the busiest part. The staff are friendly and nice and are all women. There are only 2 changing rooms and so when it is busy it can be annoying if you have to wait for the changing room It can be difficult to walk around without knocking things off because everything is spaced so close together.

Peacocks offers a great range of value for money clothing. You can usually get similar styled…read moreclothes to the higher end clothes shops but at a much cheaper cost, and I often find they are of an equal if not better quality. They have an extensive range of Mens, Womens and childrens clothes, and also shoes, underwear and nightwear, along with other accessories. The stock is changed regularly, and when items are in the sale they are at a fantastically discounted price. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful, and will take you to the area where items are if you enquire. They get regular deliveries and stock a broad range of sizes. The only downfall to this Peacocks is the shops size, as I know the range would be even better if floor space wasn't an issue.

This is another card shop situated in the centre of Alfreton for convenience…read more There is a card shop opposite so you can go in there if you can't find the card you want or vise versa. This card shop is a lot bigger and nice looking than Card factory. The staff are friendly and do their job well. The prices are very cheap and the cards are usually very high quality looking. There is only one till and so if there is a queue you will have to wait (although this shop does not get very busy) The cards are pretty good but not as nice as some you would find in Clintons etc.

Camille has an excellent range of lingerie to suit everyone. From hold 'em in knickers and tights,…read moreto sexy cami's and underwear, to comfy PJ's. The prices are very affordable, and they regularly have special offers on, such as 'Everything Under £10' and have half price rails. The staff are helpful and pleasant, and the shelves are well stocked. The shop is located within the East Midlands Designer Outlet, so you probably wouldn't go just to Camille, but its worth popping in if you are shopping there anyway. They have regular stock changes so its not always the same stuff if you want to browse.

There is 2 aisles of freezer chests and there is also shelves of other products and fridges in the shop too. The staff are usually quite friendly and are happy to serve you. There is only one person on the till at a time and so queues can build up. Although, they don't have a great range, they pretty much have all the frozen food essentials which are at a very good price and normally taste quite nice. The drinks sold in here are also a bargain and i visit here often for this reason.

I think the staff are quite helpful because i have seen a sign that says they will help with any disabled shoppers due to a small step up upon entering. They stock shoes for everyone although they might not appeal to everyone and they aren't that good quality. There is also a few changing rooms in the corner. The staff that work in this store are all women. This shop is very popular amongst people in Alfreton town, especially women, because you can get essential items for a very cheap price. They are not high fashion items so will no appeal to big brand lovers or hipsters.

The clothes sizes are on the small side, they are cheap and look cheap, you get what you pay for. The standard leg length in trousers is short and the waist sizes are different to the sizes you get in other high street shops. I always struggle to get my shoe size as they only have one of each style in my size, although its not an uncommon shoe size! The staff are generally friendly and helpful, but you are well out of luck if you want to pop in 5 minutes before the official closing time, as the door is likely at being locked!

The staff are friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. The shop is quite small so is cluttered as it is stuffed with clothes. They also sell shoes now too.

They also offer a reward scheme and mailing list facility.
