Advantages: everything is less than £1

Disadvantages: supermarkets can be cheaper

I have a problem, and that is that I am a little bit addicted to my 99p store. For anybosy who knows Hayes town, the old woolworths has just been made into the 99p store, and its huge, so a big range!

99P Store alike poundland sells random good at the cost of 99p, which is great. Products include food and drink, childrens toy, cosmetics, some homeware, some cleaning equipment, and socks scarves etc... quite a random selection.

Now whats great about these stores is that sometimes you can bag an absolute bargain. For example they do alot of brand name shampoos and showergels, you find that sound times you can pay around a pund or more less than you would elsewhere, which is great, credit crunch proof spending!
HOWEVER, be aware that supermarkets and cosmetic retailers do run promtions, for example at present you can buy imperial leather shower gel for 72p in Morrisons, but 99p in this store! so your not saving! Be aware of what promotions go on!

Another great thing about 99p stores is that there is constantly new stock, At the moment I am going through moving house, I went into 99p store and I found some great decorative touches. I bought Betty Crocker scented candles, which smell like her pies, and their great! I bought around 10 as they'll make great christmas presents. I also bought loads of dish rags, alot cheaper than froma supermarket!

You can get a lot of cheap items, at better prices than supermarkets. However do be aware of promotions in your usual supermarket as sometimes it may cost you the odd 30p! When in a recession the odd 30p adds up!

Generally i love the store, Im a bargain hunter!

Summary: Great for your bargain hunter needs.
