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.

This is a 'cheap' shop in Woolston and the only one of its kind in the area really. It sells…read moreeverything you can imagine from ornaments to cleaning products, gloves to greetings cards, garden impliments to plastic boxes and much much more! If you are after something random for your house at a very cheap price then this is the shop for you. I recently was looking for a sink plunger, found one in Woolworths for £4.99, walked over to Beamans who had on offer a bigger and better one for £1 so that was quite a saving. Saying that, you do have to be careful what you pick up because some stuff just 'looks' cheap, if you know what I mean and its for that reason I am very fussy about why I buy in there.

Always worth looking out for brand names like nescafe and there are a few good forums online where people keep up to date on the best stuff to come in to stock. Stock changes regularly so worth popping in if you're passing by. The layout of the tills isn't too bad, but it's always busy and there are always queues.

Sometimes they have well known brands on display that at other stores you would pay an awful lot more than £1. Thats right everything in store is £1. and occasionally they will promote two for £1 making it 50p each. We recently had a halloween party and I spent £50 on decorations and the whole house was decorated with some fantastic decorations - Im sure it would of cost me hundreds in alternative stores. Its always worth a pop in, dont expect to find something every time, but the ranges are changed so often that it would be worth trying again.

The location of this store's pretty good as its in the middle of Northend. I sometimes shop here if I need supplies for posting parcels and stuff like bin bags or nuts and bolts.

The Portsmouth shop in new and I think the till layouts is stupid as half the time it seem like luck of the draw who gets served first ans as they're in a flat bank right up to the door you're always queuing in front of the drinks cabinet. Thumbs up for the bargains, thumbs down fr the shop layout. Oh and I'd never try going in on a Saturday it's just was too busy.

They have taken over a pretty large shop that is on 2 floors. The store is always a bit of a mess but that's to be expected I think. Worth popping in regularly as stock changes all the time.

Admittedly, the quality of homeware items isn't the best, but many things I've got from there (baskets, storage bins etc) have lasted for years. The best reason to go there, though, is for the Hallowe'en and especially Christmas decorations - they sell a huge variety of figurines, lights, trees and ornaments, all of which are at a very good price. The staff on the shop floor are very helpful, but for some reason most (but not all) of the people on the checkout tills are pretty sour-faced and miserable-looking types, but this doesn't matter to me as it's more about my experience on the shop floor than when I pay. This is a great place to come to because they're open later than most shops, and it's a cheap way to decorate or even furnish your home.

If you need something for a new home you will probably find it in here. I am talking about things like waste bins, draining boards, bowls, table and chairs, quilts, tools, slug pellets - you can see they have a range of things. They also offer a small selection of food - you could not come here for a grocery shop but you can pick up a bargain on Branstons beans for instance. They sell washing powder and toiletries, garden stuff, toys and games, stationery, food, tools, kitchen items, bedroom and bathroom essentials as well as vases, mirrors and the usual £1 bin type items.
