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.

This has recently opened after the previous newsagents-grocery store on the site closed. I was…read morevisiting family in Louth over Christmas and we had a slight accident with the cream so I was told to go here and get some as it had recently opened. I can't believe the difference from the previous shop. It is now a well laid out minimarket with quite a wide variety of products and at surprisingly cheap prices. Not only did I pick up the cream that I had to get but quite a few other items too. I seriously couldn't believe how cheap some of the products were and what high quality they were - beating some of the supermarket prices by a good margin. If you live nearby it's well worth a quick visit before you go to either of the two town centre supermarkets for your shopping. The staff (considering it was christmas day when I visited) were very friendly.

However this isn't the only reason that I tend to visit several times a week. It's a newsagents/minimarket type shop which stocks a very good range of newspapers and magazines in addition to frozen and chilled food, soft drinks, alcohol, typical groceries and other household sundries from fuses to toilet cleaner and all sorts in between. Unlike many of these minimarket type shops the prices are very keen (sometimes even beating the major supermarkets) and there are often special offers on. The Nagra's always have time to have a word or two and are very friendly; a welcome part of the community, this is what a 'corner shop' should be like - it was when I was a child anyway.
