There are plenty of reduced price books of all descriptions as well as a selection of cds, dvds, stationary and arts and crafts materials. You won't find any recent releases but I often dig out a bargain. They also from time to time stock slightly random items, at the time of writing for example they've got a wide selection of flower and vegetable seeds. Not what you'd expect to find in a bookshop but very competetively priced none the less.

She took time to find out my needs and my budget and suggested phones to suit. Not the most expensive. I was given the opportunity to try the phone out for myself. She also demonstrated features which I was unfamiliar with previously. Although I was given lots of information about tariffs I did not receive the hard sell. I didn't buy a phone on this occasion but will definitely go back there when I am ready to change my phone.

I was told it did but only after taking out a new contract did I find out it actually had GPRS which isn't the same thing. That was some time ago though so I assume that particular employee will by now either have learned the different between GPS and GPRS or left his employment there.

As far as electrical stores go this is not bad. But it's kind of small and limited. I usually trust…read morethat small businesses know more about the trade than those who work for big chain stores--but I'm not really sure if this applies to electrical stores. I usually feel more comfortable shopping for electronic items in places like Curry's than I do in shops I've never heard of. Maybe that's because it's easier to beat the stuffing out of a big corporate company than a small one if something should go wrong? This shop is all right, and they do seem to stock a fair variety of items. They even had a big flat screen TV so they must not be entirely behind the times.

Some decent bargains and some well known brands. It's worth a look and in a city with a large student population should do well.

Spoke to Jan initially (very efficient) and a young engineer (Chris) came to check it out. He was polite, clean, tidy, very efficient, a real credit to the company!

Altogether a very reliable, honest service, would recommend this company to anyone with a refrigeration break-down. FIRST CLASS! Thank you so much.

With the credit crunch continuing to bite it's no wonder that Home Bargains are going strong. The…read moreBangor store is one of three new branches to open in North West Wales recently, along with Rhyl and Llangefni. It seems that they have bought a job lot of old Kwik Save stores as like quite a few of the others this shop is located in the an Kwik Save. For the uninitiated Home Bargains sell various household products at bargain prices. The range includes food and drink, cleaning materials, toiletries, toys, soft furnishings and kitchen equipment but you really need to visit to get a better idea. Some items come and go very quickly. For example they recently had packets of McVities mini digestives for 10p which had an rrp of 49p. These disappeared more or less overnight. However they also have permanent product lines. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for toilet rolls, toothpaste, deodorant or microwave rice amongst others. This store is handily located on Caernarfon Road (it's not far from Matalan) and has a more than adequate carpark. It's a big store for a Home Bargains and has wide aisles so it's easy to get round. The product line is much the same as other branches but because of it's size it's well stocked. If you've never been to a Home Bargains give it a go, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Being tight as I am, I'm a big fan of the Home Bargains chain of stores. Rarely do you find…read moreanything cheaper elsewhere that you do in Home Bargains and often, even when you think you've gotten a good deal from somewhere such as Poundland, you find the item in Home Bargains for 79p or even less. I'm amazed that they can sell products so cheaply. The Bangor store opening recently is brilliant because before that I had to travel 30 miles or so to Llandudno to visit one. The Bangor store is a good size, which is pleasing, but it's still full to the brim with items for sale. I last went in there today and they had lots of new lines in, which is always a good thing. Some baskets are in there for £2.99, which seems a bargain as they're a good size and they look good quality. They had their usual arrangement of sweets, followed by toiletries, then gifts for him and for her - which make ideal Christmas presents for teenage girls and boys, as well as adults, then the toys. They had a variety of nightwear and baby items, and medicines, then cleaning products, and then the bottom half is concentrated on foods and drinks, whilst the top half is divided into household goods such as baking equipment, rugs and pictures, with some more toys and games at the very top. The Bangor store seems very well organised and the shelves are always fully stocked. It also seems to be in a prime location - not too close to Bangor city centre, but definitely not too far a walk, and worth the bus fare anyway.
