Advantages: Good quality clothing.

Disadvantages: Not a lot!

I'd never even heard of Matalan until I stumbled across one of their stores by accident while shopping for golf equipment at Nevada Bob's Golf Superstore in Slateford in Edinburgh while on holiday in Scotland in 2008. My wife and teenage daughter disappeared into Matalan which was right next door to Nevada Bob's, and once I'd purchased the golf gear I was after I followed them in.

As Nevada Bob's is a golf equipment superstore, so Matalan is a men's and ladies clothing superstore. I was absolutely astonished at the enormous range of mens, ladies and childrens clothing, and even more astonished at the amazingly low prices. I ended up buying a good quality grey pinstripe business suit for only £35, with a spare pair of trousers for another £10. Their range of casual wear is equally impressive, and I bought a couple of pairs of slacks for £10 each, and half a dozen t-shirts for about £5 each.

My wife and daughter were just as impressed, and the credit cards took a fair old bashing that afternoon.

When you go to the check-out you have to fill out a form and register as a customer, and Matalan will then e-mail you every so often when they have new lines or special offers. You can purchase online from their website as well as from any of their 200 plus nationwide stores.

To date they have no retail outlets here in the Republic of Ireland, but they have 5 or so outlets in Northern Ireland, with the store in Boucher Retail Park in Belfast being very handy for shoppers from the south of Ireland as it is literally just off the M1 Motorway.

If you want good quality clothing at rock bottom prices then it is well worth your while hunting down your nearest Matalan store.
