If I'm ever looking for something really unusual, this is where I start off, and the prices of normal household items are so good, I can't believe people shop anywhere else. November 2008 update; Just been back and they have the largest selection of Christmas goodies I've ever seen - and I remember the old days of T J Hughes Christmas grottoes! In the early 60's!

This place has everything you could need from food and drink (tinned and canned mainly), toiletries, cleaning equipment and household items such as batteries and cables for every occasion and household need - all at low low prices! If you're in the area - Levy antiques village is worth a look at and Trove/POD are great for food and drinks!

One thing I couldn't find in this shop was a washing airer, so I've made do with draping my clothes over radiators and banisters ever since. Had I have asked in this shop, maybe they could have found me one out the back, or ordered one in for me. It seems like that kind of place. If you need a laundry basket, a plastic storage box, a bin, tupperware boxes or any sort of moulded plastic item, then you can probably find it outside this shop. Inside they sell tools, kitchen ware and electrical goods as well as the odd children's colouring book, sets of gel pens etc. I once went in and was browsing around when a mad drunk woman entered the shop and started abusing the man behind the counter. He dealt with her really well, even if it did involve getting the police to come over. The staff are generally friendly, and you can bargain with them if you're looking for an even bigger discount.

Poundland is a great store for anyone who's watching their pennies, especially low income families…read more This particular branch is spacious compared to other branches and well stocked with a decent amount of tills and more importantly manned tills as there is nothing worse then being in a queue seeing spare tills unopened. The stock ranges from toiletries, to pet care, household products, confectionary and pantry foods and even toys and it does as it says on the tin, everything is a pound. Although these stores are notoriously busy, it's always worth trying to navigate yourself around them as you can pick up many bargains for a fraction of what you would pay for them in the supermarket, spending less on the essentials means you can have more money to spend on the fun things in life. The staff appear efficient, expedient and pleasant and the store is well lit and remarkably tidy for a store of this type.

There isnt a large range of food items but taking a little time you can find those hidden gems 2 examples ... jars of Roasted Peppers or Sundried Tomatoes. at really low prices. Depends on what you like and what you may be looking for. If I find Items I really like I pick those out and buy lots. You have to take into account they may run out and never see the light of day again. Get them while you can. Lots of other products and like the food look for your gems. My most favorite Item I bought a few years back is an Harry Potter Hogwarts Talking Sorting Hat. I have to keep pressing the hat rim untill it puts me in Gryffindor. ( I know sad isnt it ) Fantastic talking point for anyone that enters the hall in my home. Back to the point, nice shop for those gems at a good price

Wilko's is just one of those shops that has everything. It might not be quite as cheap as the…read morenearby poundland and 99p store, but it feels like everything is just a bit better quality here. They have a huge range of items including baby supplies, pet supplies, luggage, baking supplies, paint, cosmetics, toiletries, food and homewares. The store itself is large, well organised and that staff work hard to keep it clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and are more than happy to help if you need it. Basically, if there's something you need, and you're not too sure where to buy it in the city centre, go to Wilkinson's.

In my opinion, it doesn't get much better than Wilko's!! This is your one stop shop for everything…read moreyou could possibly need, from toilettries to pet food, garden furniture to bicycle wheels and all that's in between. I love it. They stock mostly known brands, but it's a lot cheaper. Example: body brush from Boots £8 in Wilko's for around £1. Exactly the same thing but without the branding. Which is a nuisance because I bought the one from Boots. It's always the place I go to if I'm stuck. I needed silver spray paint a few Christmases ago to snazz up some decorations. Got it at Wilko's. I needed some silver craft glitter spray for a flower arrangement. Got glitter hairspray, which had the same effect, for 79p I think. Which was good compared to the £7 a can at Rennie's. Need cheap catfood to feed the stray cat that's always round our back door - Wilko's is the place. I think I've made my point.

Proper Liverpool institution is Home Bargains. Probably not something to shout about but…read moreconsidering Tom Morris started out by inheriting a very modest family business and turning HB into a multi million pound nationwide chain is nothing to sneer at. Cheap and cheerful is the motto - not officially but I'm guessing it's what it would be - as 'top brands at bargain prices' is the name of the game. I can't say that I have been to any HB much bigger than this store but HB's are not somewhere to do your weekly shop but more a place to get daily essentials.

I would reckon that Home Bargains is a place most people will have shopped some time or another…read more For me, I frequently shop there anyway. It is a store filled with top brands at bottom prices and the variety of basic home essentials, canned and quick snacks they sell makes it an ideal source where you can buy general everyday items. Sometimes you can get away without having to go to the bigger stores as you can often find cheaper prices and get better value for money here. After all, it is really home and bargain! The service at each till is often busy but efficient and staff will put all your items into a carrier bag, so you don't have to. You can always trust this place and you can't really go wrong.
