This has to be the cheapest newsagent in the city. Do you remember when Mars Bars were like 26p and…read morechewing gum was 19p then it started to creep up until in recent years it has clambered so high that you won't even get much change from a pound for a lot of choccy bars? Well, this shop is thankfully bucking the trend selling choccy bars for the 35 - 50p mark, crisps and even drinks the same. What's more, the staff are really lovely and polite. I've just got a job near this shop and I'm sure I'll be saving loads ever month because the stock is reasonably priced (I used to work near McColls on Temple Way). Avon News also has a good mix of newspapers and magazines and greetings card for that last minute panic when you realise you've forgotten your mum's birthday (never done it myself, thankfully).

They charged me £4.20 for 6 stamps which cost £4.02. When I challenged the girl she said she…read morethought a stamp was about 70p. I put her right. But then she said 'that's what we charge.' She can't charge what she likes for stamps there's a set price. She didn't apologise or acknowledge anything and didn't return the extra. She smiled smugly as if she thought it was funny. Go somewhere else for good service at the proper price.

What a wonderfully jolly man to greet you as you go in! The owner is so friendly and makes you feel…read moreright at home (even in a newsagent). He always has something funny to say about the weather...it's never as warm as India! Laughing at me as I walked in drenched and looking like a drowned rat, he had no shame in telling me all about the sun, the heat and the warm evenings he enjoys back at home. Weather aside, the shop is really good for fruit and veg, alcohol supplies and the general items you expect to find in a newsagent. I usually come in here for water, which I usually resent buying, but the bottled water is sooooo cheap here- around 30p.

This newsagents shop is so much bigger than it looks from the outside!! I visited it twice today on…read moretwo different occasions (the first time to buy a paper and the second to browse) and I was impressed by the good service and very large selection of newspapers and magazines. Everything is laid out so nicely too in a very eye-catching way with unusual curved display racks going down the centre of the floor space. In addition to papers and mags, there are plenty of local books, stationery (including school/college items), and, around the corner at the back, good quality greetings cards. Some jigsaws for sale as well and a full range of confectionery.

It's a great newsagents,well stocked and displayed nicely , equipped with everything one needs, yet…read morethe staffs curt and standoffish behaviour is less desirable. They are so rude,inpolite and miserable that they made my partner & myself feel very uncomfortable.NO please & thank you's were mentioned ,it takes nothing to show a few manners especially whilst dealing & working with the public. How do these people get jobs? they make victor meldrew look happy. It's a shame as the shop itself is very good,but the employee,s have really put me off.

A book-lovers paradise!…read more We heard about this place when staying at a nearby B&B. Apparently, it's the largest second hand book seller in the UK, and after visiting I can truly believe this. The Book Barn is a massive warehouse on an industrial estate not far from Bath. It doesn't look much from the outside, but enter at you peril and be prepared to be overcome with the musty smell of second hand books - and what better smell is there, if we are honest?! Shelves are stacked floor to ceiling with every genre of book that you could possibly imagine - cookery, health, travel, science, religion - every topic under the sun. The fictional novels take up most of the space and are loosely categorised alphabetically. It can be a little overwhelming but the staff will run a search for you if you are looking for a particular author, and there are a couple of computers available for public use. The best bit about these books? They are all priced at £1!! I challenge you to come out with less than an armful! There is also a children's area and a rare book section, obviously with a slightly higher price tag. There is a cafe here too selling everything from hot drinks, to freshly baked cakes, cooked breakfasts, and light lunches. A great place to make a start on one of your new purchases. This really is book heaven. Bring a large bag and be prepared to lose a few hours in here!

I'm going to Bookbarn tomorrow and have been several times...its heaven!…read more Literally the biggest library of books you've ever seen in a huge converted barn just outside of Bristol...all books are £1!!! They have free parking and a small tea shop with homemade cake and big old sofas. There is a vintage book section as well with rare books at still very cheap prices. The last time i went i bought 16 books i kid you not. Out of those included the complete works of Shakespeare for £1 (mint condition) complete works of oscar wilde (less mint condition) and the best thing ever: the complete sonnets of Shakespeare which had a sweet message written inside from 1962 where a man bought this book and gave it to her on their 20th Anniversary..and here it was going home with me in 2014. Love that so much. You really can spend hours here, books are put into genres and you are given a map when you come in, sofa's and chairs dotted around for you to casually read along with wheel-able shopping baskets. The staff are super friendly and helpful, it's a bit rough around the edges but super cute, exactly the kinda place i feel at home. If you don't see me for 3 days, i've been in bookbarn :)
