I can't say I was very impressed with the Boxing Day sale this year (Dec 2018), when I went two…read moreyears ago I got some great deals. We arrived at 06:45am to an already almost packed car park. By 9am we were done and ready to go home, people arriving were being turned around as the overflow car park was filled so they were being bused from the park and ride car park way down the road. Bed smart, arrive ridiculously early. Especially if you want Gucci or Prada deals. The queues were already mental before the shops opened. Other than that, some great stores, and have your passport ready for VAT refund services available on the same day you buy all your goodies, don't wait until the airport!

I hit a few when I was there but by far the best was Max Mara! They had soooo much stock and everything was very well priced! I also love the way they have designed the mall - it's all outside, very beautiful and the bathrooms are such high quality. There is also really great food there! Although we didn't eat there this time. If you're in the area or even close enough to drive or get a train I'd highly recommend heading over to get some great bargains!

There's a lot of stuff in this store which you can understand why it ended up there. Even for 5…read morepounds it would be a colossal social hindrance to introduce some leopard print trousers into your life. It's a store of miscellaneous goods that couldn't sell elsewhere that are sold here at a huge discount, but probably still more than they are worth. However I did happen to snap up a pair of golf shoes from here, so that I could pursue my occasional pastime without looking like a complete amateur. This some what redeemed Big Save in my eyes, there's no guarantee that you will find anything of value to you, however you might just be there at the time they have something in that you wouldn't find anywhere else. A store where pot-luck reigns - it's stock and your presence there is the outcome of a chaotic myriad of variables that might just cough up something that you want.

This shop appeared over the Christmas period but is still around today. It is kind of a mix between…read moreClaire's Accessories and Primark - lots of cheap and cheerful accessories: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, fashion belts, gloves, hats and scarves - but all at £1 each. It looks like it's more of an outlet store, you just grab a basket and dive in, so there's not much in the way of customer service, but staff are polite enough and really there's not the need for it as you're only there for the bargains!

This no-nonsense clothing store sells sportswear, clothes, shoes and various other products at…read moreattractive prices and benefits from a stellar location just inside Erdington's Central Square Shopping Centre. It's pleasing to see branded sports products at discounted prices and even more pleasing to see that Total Clearance Store sells official Aston Villa goods, but disappointing to see that the majority of products on sale are b-grade, damaged goods. Additionally, the store has an unappealing, unclean feel to it, with many products covered in layers of dust and the floors looking as if they haven't had a good scrub in a very, very long time. On my visit, I found the staff to be annoyingly pushy, as the owner followed me around the store attempting to pressure me into making a purchase as I browsed. Total Clearance store may be cheap, but it most certainly isn't what you'd call cheerful. Personally, I'd recommend shopping elsewhere.

Totally not my kind of store now that I'm 30, not 14, but I do have a strange, nostalgic kind of attachment to things like this and always find myself having a browse regardless. I noticed they sell a lot of fair trade products so good on them and I have given them an extra star simply because of this fine, Native American headdress, which is just thirty something pounds and a complete bargain when compared to those by Bitching and Junkfood over at Urban Outfitters.

Well, I'm not that young, anyway. The truth is that I love the music, the free spirit, long hair and everything about mid 60's and 70's. So I don't think I would mind being Hippy and it pretty much explains why I am always stuck at Hippy Buddy when I visit Oasis store. I like almost everything about this shop. Starting with the dresses! My heart belongs to the very colourful and sleeveless long ones. In addition, Hippy Buddy also deserves some kudos for its fair trade policy, getting their raw material for small businesses families and co-operatives. When I said I like "almost" everything about it, I meant that some men t-shirts are a bit too much for my taste but generally, they sells really cool stuff there! They also sell bags, jewellery and even musical instruments. The store is in the level 3 of Oasis, and it is probably the most colourful shop on it! Impossible to miss it!

Although their fashion is in season they have some trends that are good to wear all year round. We need more fashion outlets that do this in Birmingham! If you fancy shopping here or treating your little one then but be prepared to spend lots of money. Unfortunately the high cost of the clothes put me off. Most of the clothes at Bratz are either designer or high end brands and I could see that they have a specific range of customers. Overall this is a good place to buy clothes for a young person but I find similar clothing styles for a better price elsewhere, which is why I won't be tempted to come here again.

We visited the first time to look at the suits and decide what it was we wanted, we were really pleased with the options. We decided to go to weddings direct as the prices were excellent, we would be away for 2 weeks and we wanted the suits again for our evening reception so we were expecting a sizable bill but when Kim gave us the price we couldn't believe it, we snapped her hand off for the deal. The boys went and had their fittings, which were arranged to suit us, the staff really were excellent, Kim even made our ties to the correct colour as they couldn't get the colour I wanted. When we picked up the suits, they all fit perfect, the boys looked lovely on our wedding day, and friends of ours were so impressed that they're using them next year for their wedding.
