I really miss this place. A large store on 2 floors…read more Downstairs is what I think may be catalogue returns and overmakes. Very cheap clothing, undies, shoes, crockery and kitchen stuff, gardening equipment, sweeties, CHEAP branded toiletries and cosmetics eg famous name moisturisers normally 20 squid for £3.99, tons of tools and DIY stuff including paint. It is mainly known names..may be end of line. I bought a Wonderbra for £3.99! Upstairs is THe bit for me. They have carpets, flooring, bedding furniture, curtains etc but thecraft supplies are top notch and cheap!!! Big range of cheap and gorgeous fabrics..clothing or household, patterns, wool. Whatever your hobby or craft you will find something here. I saw an overlocker (normally about £350 for £60! I may have to go the 200 miles back soon as I have withdrawal symptoms and cannot find a lot of the stuff online and certainly not as cheap.

Today I went for some items,,, but today my wife and I actually spent some time looking at what they actually sell. Their store in Freeman street is a gold mine of everything and the experienced staff really know what they do and don't have. We need to keep such companies going,,, because as you all know,, what you see on the internet does not always mean value for money. Please take your time and go and see what they sell,,, because if you don't, they will disappear and then you will be sad. Kevin worrell

Situated in the old Kwik Save building in the town centre this is an excellent shop for bargains…read more They sell a wide selection of products from groceries to toiletries, seasonal items, bedding, household items, tables, beds, childrens nightwear, toys, etc. The prices are really cheap especially on grocery items where you can pick up brand names at half the supermarket price. The store is well laid out with lots of good quality products, however it does get very busy and there is never enough checkout staff to meet the demand meaning you are often left queueing and the staff are less then helpful, they never offer bags or help to pack and leave you stood there with your goods yet in a bag whilst they start serving the next customer.

The idea is great in principle - this shop sells end-of-line edible goods and goods that are at, or…read morenearing, their sell-by date. However, the nature of the business means that it's really hit-and-miss as to whether you'll get any bargains or not! I've come out of the shop empty-handed as often as I've come out with bags full of packs of 50p Duchy Originals biscuits (reduced from £4!). The shop also has a good range of things like tin foil, baby wipes, etc but these aren't actually that cheap - they are similar prices to Wilkinsons or even the supermarkets. It's easy to be misled by the cheapness of other things and to think that everything's a bargain. It's also a very poky shop and hard to negotiate with a pushchair or children in tow. That said, the poky feel means that bargains feel more bargainous!

A couple runs Louth's Value for Money from a cramped unit within the Market Hall. The shop offers a…read moremixture of food/drink, household items, toiletries and other miscellaneous items. In general, the prices are no better than can be found elsewhere, even in Louth, and are often more expensive. Remarkably, it is not even unusual to see items far cheaper at other branches of Value for Money; I recently saw exactly the same item at 80p in the Louth branch and 30p in another branch. Louth shoppers are clearly regarded as affluent and gullible. Within the food and drink, there is a mix of items that are in date, together with some that are past their best before date, sometimes by as much as two years! Very occasionally you'll find a bargain (more by accident than design on their part I suspect), and sometimes there's the odd niche product that's difficult to obtain elsewhere, or is a cost effective alternative. The pricing can be very inconsistent and illogical whilst other items have no price shown at all. After all, if the price weren't a consideration, you wouldn't be in the shop! At other times there is only a price shown for bulk buys, not ideal when you only want one or two. You feel reluctant to ask, as they don't give the impression of being very approachable. They don't even bother to routinely provide a receipt. All in all, if you have the time, dedication and patience to wait for the chance to save a few pence every so often, it might be worth a look. If however, you have a life, you're best advised to keep walking.

Wilkinson's is on the Abbey Walk Shopping Centre next to Sainsbury's supermarket. There is a fair…read moresized car park with 2-hours free parking. The first ever Wilkinson was opened in Leicester in 1930, since those days over 300 more stores have opened across the country. The original formula of quality low cost products is still present but you will find some of the toys and things are a bit too plastic or cheap! Wilkinson's sell almost anything, from toiletries, DIY and minor repair equipment, garden plants, bulbs and accessories, furniture, beddings, toys and sweets, to mention but a few. Recently the Selby branch introduced food products, which are convenient and competitively prices with the likes of Home Bargains. The current recession will probably push Wilkinson's forward as we are all looking to spend less.

It's quite spacious considering, and they stock a particularly good range of food and drink. Service is friendly and there are plenty of checkouts so it's fine even at busy times. However as is inevitably the way with pound shops, they never stock the thing you go in for; you always come out with something slightly different, or completely different. Also, be wary of the quality of some of their electrical goods, like headphones, some of which are utterly terrible. And don't get too caught up in the one pound is a bargain! mentality- you might find yourself paying a pound here for something which will only cost up 60p in Tesco But otherwise, it's great.
