There are the odds gems to be found in here such as cheap good quality suitcases and good quality bathroom towels. Amongst the clothes they are also some lovely bits and pieces in a good selection of sizes although most of it only suitable for older plus sized ladies. All in all I think this shop could be vastly improved by ridding themselves of their cheap logo and horrible big labels they have on everything but it's worth a quick look as there are some bargains to be had.

Just window shopping is difficult to do here as they always display their biggest bargains in the windows and you can guarantee having to buy something. Their clothes are for the more elderly people among us however the range of toys they sell is fantastic, especially around christmas time, they discount all their toys further and you have to be quick to get them too.

It's not always cheaper but I always go to Home Bargains before the Pound shops so I know if I'm getting a good deal. One difference between this shop and the Pound shops is that Home Bargains also sells alcohol (beer, wine, various alcopops and cheap spirits). Despite always being busy and queues at the tills, the store actually seems quite tidy and well-stocked. The staff on the tills can vary a lot - sometimes they're really friendly, other times they barely acknowledge you and prefer to talk to their friends while serving you! When you enter the store, they have all their latest deals and newest products on the left. They have seasonal stock in (Christmas, Easter etc.) which is usually at the back of the first aisle. I like that they don't change the store around so it's always easy to find what you want, or browse the right aisle. If you like grabbing bargains and don't mind queues at the tills then I recommend you check this shop out!

Some is well-known brands, some is great quality, and some is cheap and tacky.

The outside sometimes look a bit cluttered due to the bits and bobs they have outside but once you're in there are many bargains to be had. My favourite section is the book section as books for a pound?!! That's cheaper than charity shops! They have a mixture of fiction books and non fiction. Also a great section for kids! The health and beauty area is also really good. The £1 prices put other shops to shame as the shampoos and conditioners can easily cost £2.50-£3.50 elsewhere! They also sells food and drink, car bits, a limited selection of socks and underwear but some great toys for little ones!

Unlike its other shops in the area such as the one in Guisbrough and the one in Middlesbrough this one has a beautiful range of jewellery.

There is a lovely lady who works there that lets you have a good look at everything too. I own many beautiful pieces from there.
