Only yesterday I went to a network's-own shop (mobile phone) and B&M (the discount store) and didn't have to get rained on as the car park is also accessed from inside the centre. The only thing about the car park is, it's on a one-way street, and I get lost in Rhyl quite easily as about half the town centre is one-way streets!

It also has a lot of parking spaces and generally is a lot quieter thean cheshire oaks itself, so if you're happy to walk it can mean getting a decent parking space to go over the cheshire oaks. Its also right next to the food section with the cinema so is perfectly placed between the two for a good afternoon out.

After a breakfast of pancakes with white chocolate and strawberries and a faux-lunch at Cheshire…read moreFarm Ice Cream, you can imagine that my little group was as hyped up as they could possibly be. What better, then, to spend the afternoon shopping. We had the time, the energy, and because of the sales, the cash. I've heard that Cheshire Oaks is very much like those subject-to-season shops I often talk about, the TK Maxxes and Home Bargains of this world. Sometimes you can go and come away armed with inexpensive goodies. Other times, no matter how much you root, there's nothing there. I however caught it on a good day. And it was a surprise and a half. What I had expected was a mall, something Arndaley or Lowry-esque, but what you actually get is what looks like a gargantuan entertainment complex with a vast car park in the middle. All the stores are decked out in a kind of mock-Tudor frontage which somehow just about manages to be endearing as opposed to tacky. And the sheer variety of stores is simply mind-boggling. We found ourselves in All Saints, Diesel, Levi's, picking up many little bargains. But there's far more than that, there are sports shops, electronics stores, homeware outlets, the list just goes on. You'd find it hard to visit everything in a single day, and it would take me about five pages to list everything. With eateries on every corner it's easy to while away the hours there. I'd heartily recommend that you download the online store guide before you go and perhaps print out a copy to ensure that you don't get lost or miss anything. With regular buses travelling to the site and nearby train stations Chester and Ellesmere Port, there's no excuse for not taking a little sojourn from the city and travelling here. I promise you, if you catch it on a good day your car boot or poor arms won't be big enough to carry all your goodies. Get involved.

Grange Shopping Centre in Birkenhead offers a wide variety of small and larger shops, coffee shops…read moreand cafes, electronic stores, bakeries and much more. What I like most about this shopping centre is that there even some independent small businesses here. It's not ALL Sayers, the O2 Shop, Home Bargains, et al. Another neat thing about this particular shopping centre is the exceptionally large amount of charity shops you will find here. If you love bargain hunting, second hand book browsing, and vintage/rescued clothing, you'll have a blast perusing the wares in the many different charity shops here. I find it difficult to drag myself away. Of course if you do prefer the chain stores, and the big names, you will find some of them here, as well as in the Pyramid Shopping Centre just next door.

This is the friendliest shop that I've ever been in. I had the pleasure of living above this shop…read morefor my entire final year of university and honestly never witnessed such a friendly local shop. The shop and the cafe down the road are all run by the same family, with the mum and brothers and sisters running both between them. They must have had the shop for years because they seem to know everyone in Wavertree. The service is fantastic and these guys will really bend over backwards to help a customer out. They sell a range of tinned, frozen and fresh groceries, cigs, magazines, newspapers, chocolate, soft drinks, crisps and sweets. They also sell bus tickets and other random bits and bobs that they get in occasionally such as boxer shorts and such like. They are a great bunch of people making a good honest living and that's what it's all about!

However, whereas Grand Central has settled in like a divorcee on your sofa, Gostins has suffered from both being slightly out of the way and the temporary feel of its accommodation. Gostins is still worth a visit though, especially for the book shop that used to be in the Bluecoat (another outcast) and Route 69 hairdressers.

I have lived in Merseyside for two years now and finally visited Gostins for the first time…read moreyesterday. It's fabulous! What a great little smattering of shops including collectables and antiques, handmade jewellery, home-made cakes, Wicca and goth, used books, and so much more. Probably my favourite shop in here is Collage which offers a really delightful selection of antiques and collectables at great prices. I also really like Mookow Army and Bluecoat Books. Some of the shops are not open during all regular business hours so you may find a few closed when you pop in but keep coming back to visit the various ones you missed before. I know that's my plan!
