Home Bargains

The home bargains branch i am reviewing is in northampton on st peters square. Basically home bargains is a bit like the pound shop and 99p store full of cheap random items which is in my opinon is generally 60% tat and 40% bargains on a good day ................... on a bad day it could be 99% tat but there is always a bargain to be found like last week i picked up russell brands hardback book (yes i no but my sis in law loves him and i got it as a wrap up for her) for 49p. They sell toiletries, gift sets, toys, household items such as toilet rolls, kitchen roll, bleach, air freshner etc, bathroom accesories, pjs, socks, underwear, dressing gowns, food items such as ...  Read the complete review

Although we live quite close to 3 or 4 branches of Home Bargains, it's not a store we visit very often. If the missus does ever drag me in there, it's not that we're shopping for anything specific, but simply that we're having 'a browse'. We nearly always end up leaving with a bag full of impulse purchases though! Home Bargains is of the same ilk as Wilkinsons, but not quite as organised looking. They sell a bit of everything, but mainly toiletries, cleaning products & food items. Also thrown in are household tat (sorry, merchandise....), a bit of stationary, a few toys (that probably won't last very long), & seasonal items such as Halloween at the ...  Read the complete review

In the town where I live we have had a Home Bragins store for a couple of years now and I think it is great. We used to have two Wilkinsons stores and when the larger of the two shops was closed it was replaced by Home Bargains, a discount retailer that sells many different items at cheap prices. When you first enter Home Bargains the first aisle is full of toiletries, this is the store in Pontefract but I can imagine that most stores are the same. It sells a range of toiletries from shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, toothpaste, deodrant etc....Basically anything you need to clean and style yourself. I don't tend to buy a lot of toiletries from this store as ...  Read the complete review

This review is based on the home bargains store at Forster Square, Bradford. Tel: 01274 723 308 This store is an absolute must for me when I am near one. I always pick up cupboard essentials for the kitchen at such great prices. The store sells a variety of things such as sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks, tea/coffee, gifts, towels and toiletries. Although I think the toiletries are cheap, I normally skip through the majority of this aisle, as I am an Advantage Card junkie and normally stock up on 3 for 2s at Boots. I went to Home Bargains on Tuesday and managed to spend £18 on a variety of things. The best bargain I managed to get this week ...  Read the complete review

I love Home Bargains and visit the ones in Birmingham a lot mainly for the toiletries but my local one has started selling cheaper booze and has widened their range of foods as well so you can do a bit of shopping in here as well. You have to go in and browse round because they're like the pound shop and sell stuff dead cheap but once it's gone there's no guarantee they're going to get it in again. My local one is pretty big and used to be an old Tesco supermarket so it's a big shop. The first long aisle is taken up with toiletries and then baby goods further up in the shop. When my mum was pregnant she brought loads of my little sisters bits and ...  Read the complete review
