The framing is exceptional quality and have a huge range of frames to choose from, the timescale is very good too. I've always found them very helpful and are able to advise expertly about their products. They will frame anything for you, including football shirts or baby stuff and make such a wonderful job of it. They can also restore artwork onsite, have a Welsh Gallery section and will put a digital photo onto a canvas which looks truly amazing.

There are plenty of reduced price books of all descriptions as well as a selection of cds, dvds, stationary and arts and crafts materials. You won't find any recent releases but I often dig out a bargain. They also from time to time stock slightly random items, at the time of writing for example they've got a wide selection of flower and vegetable seeds. Not what you'd expect to find in a bookshop but very competetively priced none the less.

Ideal for anyone on a budget who doesn't want to replace a whole laptop for the sake of one faulty component. Although I troubleshoot and repair my desktop computer myself as they are easier to work with than laptops, which have annoying chassis designs making them harder to take apart and repair, I have no doubt that the technicians at this shop would be able to repair a desktop computer. However, this is a small shop and I would not recommend it for anyone looking to purchase hardware/software from new. Use a large retailer for that and remember to do your research thoroughly to get the most hardware for your money.

If I need to buy a greetings card or gift then Card Factory is the first place I look. It's…read moreconsiderably cheaper than the likes of W. H. Smiths and Birthdays. The quality might not be brilliant but it's usually good and certainly they offer excellent value for money. They sell cards for all occasions along with mugs, small ornaments and so on. The only problem is that the shop is so brightly lit you need sunglasses to go in there!

If you are a bargain hunter then this is the place to go. Home Bargains is a chain based mainly in…read morethe North and Midlands and they a number of branches across North Wales. The Colwyn Bay branch was first to open in my neck of the woods but the Llandudno branch, located on the Mostyn Champneys Retail Park, is bigger and therefore has more choice. Basically they sell a bit of everything from food to toiletries to homeware to clothes. Some items are permanently stocked but there are always things that appear breifly never to be seen again so you'll always find something new when you go there. Unlike a lot of bargain shops a lot of the stock is made up of well-known brands and usually the food and drink items have reasonable use by dates. What makes it worth a visit however are the prices which are often a fraction of supermarket prices. If you've never been you have to give a try, I guarantee you'll be hooked.

I never fail to spend far too much here as there are so many Bargains to be had, from Health and Beauty products, Homewares, Food and Drinks and Gifts there is something for everyone. Its a great place for everyday bargains and they sell named brands aswell as lesser known brands so you know your getting quality products. I'm not ashamed to admit that most of my Home Furnishings are from Home Bargains, they always have a great range of modern pictures and prints aswell as bedding. Another bonus is the great parking facilities - always a space nearby.

This is a huge shop spread over two floors and sells pretty much anything you need, although you may need to spend some time searching to find it. Prices are pretty reasonable although parking can be a bit awkward as there's no car park and limited on street parking in the area.

The one star rating is just for the stock they sell. As for the staff and their rudeness and…read morehorrible attitude towards customers is absolutely disgusting. I can't find a website or customer complaints phone number. I was in there today only because b&q didn't have what I wanted and the little blonde member of staff was so horrible to me when I asked for help, another customer helped me in the end as he heard the way she spoke to me. Something needs to be done about the staff in there. I have worked in shops myself and if I spoke and treated customers like they do I would have been sacked.

There are no real surprises in the stock, lots of batteries, DIY items, toiletries, food, drinks and so on and on the occasion I went lots of Halloween and Christmas stuff as well. Some decent bargains and some well known brands. It's worth a look and in a city with a large student population should do well.
