Wow Big Discount - a super cool, ultra mega pound shop down on the main Levy strip. You can see why…read morebiz's like Woolworths went out of business with the unstoppable roll out of the pound shops over the past couple of decades. 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!

This shop is amazing. That's solely down to Jaz and his wife who own the place and are also the…read moreonly people who you'll find working there. When I lived in Victoria Park I would always pop in and see Jaz on my way home from uni. He always recognised me and had something to chat about. He sells everything you'd expect to find in a discount store - 4 cans of pop for £1, chocolate bars, laundry baskets, clothes airers, Christmas decorations, pens, notebooks, loo roll.... I've actually bought all of the aforementioned goodies here and they are of surprisingly good quality. I bought a dirty washing basket from here for £1 in 2005 and it's still going strong! On more than one occasion Jaz has offered to pick me and my friends whatever we wanted up from the cash and carry and he's even requested our advice on pricing. Once he asked me how much I'd be willing to pay for a horrid talking Christmas tree. Not wanting to offend him, I told him I'd pay £5, which I think was a bit ambitious. Top marks to Jaz for providing an excellent level of customer service for the local students and families in the otherwise deserted Vicky Park.

A Costco for locals if you will, without the need to scoff up membership fees. Stuff is cheap here,…read morewholesale price! And you don't even have to buy in huge bulks! In fact if you're hosting a party and you stumble in here, you're guaranteed to be in kid in a candyshop mode big time! 24 cans of Pepsi Max for a fiver? No problem! Fresh fruit? No problem! You could probably do a month's worth of shopping in daylight robbery like prices. What's more, if you're a raging foodie like me and LOVE eastern cuisine, the place is choc-a-bloc with herbs and spices you won't find anywhere else. Believe me, I've tried! Much like Tesco, they also have a huge frozen food/ refrigerated section where you can buy everything from all sorts of fish and meat to cakes and ice cream (LOTS of ice cream!) My fav section is the savoury and sweet section where they have a huge selection of different types of biscuits and snacks that'll make you the envy of all your friends at a dinner party! All in all if you love cooking (especially Asian cuisine) and hosting, this place is a God send! The variety of herbs and spices on sale will set your imagination and saliva glands racing!

Yet another shop in Levenshulme that is painted bright yellow! I just don't get it. Well I do…read morereally. It is quite eye-catching. But it's also very yellow! Pound Choice Plus is yet another one of those mega cheap shops that sells random tat. Half of which is mega useful and cheap. The other half of which is totally pointless but also cheap. This shop has all of the important useful stuff, like piles of cheap loo roll, washing powder, cosmetics and tools. The shop is light and airy too, which is a welcome change to other dingy pound stores. What I always love about these places is that there are some hidden gems to be found that almost make you laugh out loud. My personal favourite in Pound Choice Plus is the "Elegant Drinking Glass Chess Set." Which now I think about it could actually become an amazing drinking game. Hold on, I think I'm going to back and buy the thing.

A pretty large Poundland store in Stockport's Mersey Way, strangely it is one of two locations in…read moresuch a small town/area (doesn't make much sense), it is the larger of the two, it even has a small clothing section (cheap, wouldn't exactly call it fashion) The store could have been cleaner, and I do prefer the layout of their Manchester Arndale branch which also has self-service machines (unlike this one), I dislike the one-way system around the store which means that you must exit through the checkouts, this is separate to the one-way system for COVID reasons which I totally understand. They did have a good selection in most areas, although I was let down with the bottled drinks selection in general, no staff on the shop floor which is something I dislike, especially in a store like this. 3* - Decent store, but I'll stick to their Manchester Arndale location nearby from now on!

This shop has most defiantly grown over the years and now had their own website business as well as the shop. Who doesn't enjoy going having a look at the costumes or accessories here? It really is top-quality stuff and if they do not have it in store, then order it for you. You can try the stuff on too, so you know if it fits. You could seriously spend the whole day in here.

So I've been going to Pound Express for years now and inside their cavernous store they have…read moreabsolutely everything - in fact I've bought so many things at a pound compared to much higher prices in super markets/electronic stores that this is now the place I go to first to check it out. Aisles and aisles of garden, kitchen, electronic and kids items are stocked here and I always make sure I pick up big packs of quality batteries here so as I don't run out. Don't miss out on their food and drink produce as you go in on the left - there's so many totally random imported items here but you can usually pick up say 3 cans on crazy pop for £1 which isn't bad at all in my book! Very friendly guys that run it too.

For what it is you know the M&S cafe in Handforth dean is alright!…read more Short and sweet from me; it's reasonably priced, the staff are cheerful and the self-help system actually works well for soft drinks and other snacks. It cost me £15 for a chicken Tagine, chocolate lolly, a tea, flat white and a Diet Coke - now I think that's value for money! And the Tagine was absolutely delicious! I would definitely eat there again whilst shopping in Marks and Spencer. I go there regularly for my weekly shop, so it's nice to know I can trust that the food & drink is up to scratch, in case I need to stop for a bite once again!

This branch of Marks and Spencer is quite a big store located in Handsforth Dean, and is in a big…read moreretail complex with quite a large Tesco store. This store can be a nightmare to get to, as it is situated on a large number of roundabout, coming from Manchester for a conference here, they must of been a good 5 roundabouts along the Handforth Bypass, but other than that it is easy to get to, get the motorway towards Birmingham (M60) and just follow the A34, hence coming off the motorway at J3. The car park is quite big as well, with the regular Tesco car park and just one for the standard retail park. This is quite a big store, with a good sized food and clothing section, it can be actually quite hard to find everything in away, especially due to the lack of organization with certain people sending me the wrong way, left right and centre, even the co-ordinator for the event, and I actually had to phone the store to get someone to assist me as they was no staff about - which is totally unacceptable. The event co-ordinatior works for Marks and Spencer, and did make false promises and taken her time to do everything. They is 2 cafes in this store, and they are quite nice cafes, they is one big one, where the event tasted place, and it even has trackers on the tables so the server knows where you are. The cafe isn't great, although some of the staff were good, running around to get me a gluten free sandwich, to the shop floor and the other cafe. The cafe still wasn't great as my iced tea was quite expensive costing about £2.50, and it did taste home made but absolutely awful, and very watery. The store has a good sized free from range, compared to other stores, for example the branch at Bury, where it is a struggle to even grab a sandwich, however they are far too expensive, and as the event co-ordinator is a coeliac, she should do something about it, she even admitted to me in private she knows the range is expensive, but I know she told a few white lies in the presentation. Overall, this isn't the greatest Marks and Spencer's store, even though it is huge, considering issues with the lack of knowledge from staff and staff in general, pricing, lack of organization and simply being a nightmare to get to, roundabout after roundabout, as it is located off a slip road from one, they are unavoidable really and this makes the store, one to not visit rather than to go through all the kerfuffles of the many, confusing roundabouts to visits. I can't give this store any more than 2 stars.
