Seasonally they have decorations, plants, garden furniture, electrical like kettles and toaster and all sorts. I recently purchased a great set of bike lights for about a tenner. I'd say their prices are very competitive. The shop is well laid out and it's always really busy. There are tills at the front and back entrances. you do have to queue up but normally they serve you quickly. Customer services can be a bit hit and miss but overall a useful shop in the city centre.

I find it a bit of a chore to work my way around the store to find anything but at times I have found a good bargain. The store is generally clean and tidy, just has a lot in it. There is a large range of gifts, especially now in the run up to christmas but I would say they are a bit pricey. This is made easier by the fact that they seem to have a sale every other week.

Always worth looking out for brand names like nescafe and there are a few good forums online where people keep up to date on the best stuff to come in to stock. Stock changes regularly so worth popping in if you're passing by. The layout of the tills isn't too bad, but it's always busy and there are always queues.

Sometimes they have well known brands on display that at other stores you would pay an awful lot more than £1. Thats right everything in store is £1. and occasionally they will promote two for £1 making it 50p each. We recently had a halloween party and I spent £50 on decorations and the whole house was decorated with some fantastic decorations - Im sure it would of cost me hundreds in alternative stores. Its always worth a pop in, dont expect to find something every time, but the ranges are changed so often that it would be worth trying again.

After all, if its something basic, why pay more. I do love a bargain. Items which I have located here that I have required in my stay so far have included: D batteries (for the swing to help little one nap in day) A cable for my HTC phone which I was planning to sell but cant because its damaged Adaptors because silly me forgot that ALL of my electrical stuff these days have US plugs and not UK ones. Bath books (to keep little one amused in the bath) Mouthwash (need I explain the use for this) combs (again, self explanatory) Coverall bibs (to try and at least keep one item of clothing free of food) Wipes (for both ends ;) ) Chocolate (for my sanity) Drink (non alcoholic of course but still thirst quenching) I am sure there is more, but I cannot recall at this point. Simple fact of the matter is it stocks almost everything you could need. So given that I obviously love it and seem to buy most stuff there, why the lower rating? Well, a couple of reasons: 1) The aisles in the store are not very wide so it is hard to get round with the pushchair/stroller 2) The checkout/register is always heaving so the overflow of customers going down the aisles are annoying. There are times where I have got to the register, seen the queue, put back the items and left because I didnt want to wait a long time. If you have no rush or its something essential then this place is fantastic. Not so much when you have a limited amount of time!

This store is in a pretty great location with all the bus stops nearby. If I'm already shopping in Commercial Road I might pop in this branch, but as there is now a Poundland just a across the Road, I'd probably shop in there. They are still good value though, and this one seems to have quite a lot of bits for the kitchen in it. Stock doesn't seem to change very often (unlike Poundland) so I find it's not really worth going in unless I need something. This time of year they're always full of cheap Christmas decorations.

If you are after something random for your house at a very cheap price then this is the shop for you. I recently was looking for a sink plunger, found one in Woolworths for £4.99, walked over to Beamans who had on offer a bigger and better one for £1 so that was quite a saving. Saying that, you do have to be careful what you pick up because some stuff just 'looks' cheap, if you know what I mean and its for that reason I am very fussy about why I buy in there.
