It makes navigating aisles if anyone else is down one difficult as there isn't enough space to past my chair. 2 out of the 4 "big" (as in not a pack of 2 heatgen thermal tops or socks lol) clothing pieces didn't hold up even the first wear. I bought bootcut joggers and a charcoal hooded lounge top and those are fine, but the green satin feel pyjamas has ripped and the green lounge top has a hole where the neck band meets the fluffy fabric. The sizing for the pyjamas is also really weird. Can't keep them on my waist despite pulling the drawstring as tight as possible, but sitting down it's like there isn't enough fabric in the lower hip, hence 4 inch rip in the seam, despite me being a size 16-18 and I bought a size 20. The top is tighter than the bottoms. Just another instance of clothing retailers adding an extra inch or two for every size up rather than realising that body proportions aren't just straight up and down (unless rectangle is your body shape, but at plus size that is unusual). Disappointing considering M&S isn't cheap, even outlet prices are more expensive than buying clothing from other high street retailers. I'd recommend checking fabric types and such otherwise it isn't good value if items don't even last past the first wear.

I always find this Marks & Spencer store, which is effectively an outlet store situated at the…read moredesigner outlet a bit hit and miss if I'm honest! Generally the stock is well picked over, and a bit of a mess! You can however, if you're prepared to fight the crowds get some good bargains - the best being on children's clothes. What I tend to do is buy for 6/12 months ahead as the clothes on sale are usually from the season before. For example, winter clothes can usually be bought in spring and visa versa. for ladies clothes, there isn't an awful lot - but you can get some good bargains if you need to stock up your underwear draw!

Peacocks in Pontefract is part of a smallish chain of low cost clothing stores for men women and…read morechildren. Now usually I like to save money and love Primark but with Peacocks I really struggle to find anything I like. The clothes are rather ugly and very cheaply made, badly fitting and just not my cup of tea at all. The shoes are badly made and very plastic and the handbags are cheap and shiny. I would rather shop around and buy something of quality in the sale than buy something low quality. The clothes are all nasty shiny man made materials and as a result you sweat when you wear them, not nice. I would avoid this place and try New Look over the road, it's not much better but at least they do sell some natural fibres and their clothes wash well.

There's a good selection of home accessories like mirrors, cushions, curtains, furniture, candles and the likes, plus garden stuff, seasonal things, some toys and a large craft section.

As a general rule, if The Range have it for a tenner you can get it on Ebay for a fiver - but if you just want to go out, look around and take something home with you today then it's a pretty good place to visit.

The Frenchgate store isn't the biggest in the world but there's still a really good selection of stuff. Especially good value is the hardware - screws, sockets and the likes, as these are a fraction of the price you'd pay in B&Q. They sell toys but I think this is something they could probably improve on as I've never seen anything there that I'd want to buy for my kids. It all seems to be lesser quality but full price which is surprising as the rest of the stuff instore is really good. Parking isn't great as you've got to pay for the Frenchgate car park and if you're buying larger items then you've got to lug them through the shoppers and all the way back to the car. For that reason, it's probably best to use this store for smaller essentials than bits of furniture (unless you can borrow a strong bloke for the day).

I'm not the biggest fan of the own-brand clothing in Matalan - I think it is a bit cheap and nasty, but they also sell brand names too, not designer, but generally good quality. These are discounted a bit and although probably not the cheapest they're generally good prices. Good for homewares although better if you're just browsing and picking up the odd thing than looking for something in particular as they have a wide range of products but very little choice in each category.

They also sell so-called 'designer' brands, but these are generally just High Street names which had over-inflated prices in the first place. I bought a suitcase from them a few years ago which promptly fell to bits first time it was used, so I avoid their luggage like the plague now. Their homewares are ok, not bad prices, and the clothing is not too bad for the price you pay. Good retail park, lots of parking, although it is a bit of a bottle neck at busy times.

They've got loads of concessions instore and many of what I call almost-designer brands such as John Rocha, Jasper Conran, Ben Sherman and the likes.
