Years ago I lived in Finsbury park and regularly walked down to Holloway for the car boot sale. On my way home I noticed the 99p store (the first branch opened) and it took me a while before I went in assuming it would all be tat. I was pleasantly surprised. They had useful products at bargain prices. I've moved house a few times since then and now my nearest store is in Ramsgate, a short drive away and need to pay 80 pence to park in the multi-storey carpark. It's worth it. Every 5 months or so I visit the 99p shop specifically to buy their Mowbray 800ml barbeque sauce. It's the same size bottle as in takeaway shops and it's tasty. Not too keen on their ...  Read the complete review

Well it had to happen didnt it! There has of course been the huge phenomenom of the pound stores, but someone had to go one better! I suppose its a bit too much for it to continue down to a penny? Actually with this economic climate its probably not! I only know of this particular one although I know there is a fair few across the country, this is the one in Harpurhey, Manchester I'll be looking at. The outside reminds me very much of the Card Factory with its bright blue and yellow logo. Its not that attractive to be fair, it looks quite cheap and gaudy. Walking in it looks very much like any other store of its ilk. That is, there are piles and piles of goods ...  Read the complete review

A brand new 99p Store opened locally a couple of months ago. Prior to that, I hadn't head of this chain. As soon as it opened, I was a little hesitant about checking it out. I assumed it would just be like Poundland, possibly a little worse. As I entered the store for the very first time, I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a cheap look, products messily stacked on top of one another etc. But instead, it just looked like a smart little store but low cost. Unlike other 'cheap stores', this one didn't make me feel as though I was cheap. Everything was well presented, products were displayed very well, and everything seemed to be in great condition. ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, I want to make a claim - Streatham has the biggest 99p store in London. It MUST do! I've yet to see a bigger one! This store is amazing. We were all depressed over the loss of the nostalgic Woolworths and now they have been replaced by the most cost-saving shop around. Now, I am a little sad in that I 'treat' myself to a 3 items every couple of weeks. I go there for my essentials but the problem is that you end up buying things you don't actually need. I think that is why the shops do such good business. What I also love is that there is something different every week! They have their regular items such as the cleaning ...  Read the complete review
