Wilkinsons

With the sad demise of Woolworths just under a year ago, Wilkinsons is in some ways the closest approximation remaining on the high street. Yes, there are the likes (at least in some parts of the country) of Home Bargains, B&M and even Poundland, but all of those are firmly in the "as cheap as possible" camp. Woolworths, in spite of what some said, was never quite that downmarket (although it often looked as if it was) and the same applies to Wilkinsons. The company is officially known, and the shops are always branded, as Wilkinson, without the final S, but as they are almost universally referred to as Wilkinsons, that is what I shall do here. ...  Read the complete review

Wilkinsons is an amazing place but one that I often forget about. It sells just about everything, toiletries, home furnishings, food, toys, gardening stuff. It's similar to Woolworths in terms of quality and value for money but is a larger store with more of a range. It's a step up from a pound shop so you won't find anything exceptionally upmarket and like a pound shop can be a bit hit and miss in terms of tackiness, but does have some very nice stuff. In fact sometimes its cheaper than a pound shop as it is able to sell things for less than a pound. The layout of the stores is easy to find your way around and has plenty of space to get down the ...  Read the complete review

Wilkinsons is one of my favourite shops, since I have recetly bought my first house there is a whole magnitude of stuff that you have to buy but there is a line between buying stuff from th pound shop hat breaks after a week or spending lots of money on buying quality stuff that will last as longas the mortgage. Thankfully that is where Wilkinsons come in. Not only is there stuff reasonably priced but it is also really good quality. For example I bought a frying pan 6 months ago fr £4 and it is excellent, still non stic and cleans beutifully! That is what you need from a shop! I trust Wilkinsons and there products, staff and range is fantastic. ...  Read the complete review

Wilkinsons is a cheap shop which sells a variety of items, from food and toiletries to DIY items and household goods like plates and so on. They even sell stamps and mobile top-ups. There's one in most towns and cities and my nearest one is at Belle Vale shopping centre in Liverpool. I have bought loads of different things from Wilkinsons over the years, from basic stuff like cat food to paint and dust sheets. They have all the household names when it comes to tolietries, cleaning products etc but it tends to be up to a pound cheaper per item than in most other stores, like supermarkets. They often have sales/reduced items too. I've just used their ...  Read the complete review

I'm lucky to have a Wilkinson's within a couple of minutes drive away....why lucky? I hear you cry...well, lucky because whenevr I need something in a hurry, I can pretty much guaranteee that I'll find it at good ol' Wilko's! About to start decorating, but realise all the paintbrushes are rock-solid? Off to Wilko's for some new ones! About to strim the lawn, but realise the strimmer reel is empty? Off to Wilko's for a replacement reel! You get the idea. It's very handy indeed. Cheap too. It's a lot further for me to drive to B&Q for such items, & you can bet it'll cost a heck of a lot more too! Wilko's have most things covered. They ...  Read the complete review
