Advantages They do almost everything at really fantastic prices

Disadvantages Only a limited numbers of stores in the UK

I love a bargain. I think we all do if we are honest with ourselves really. I mean why pay more for something that you can get for less? Never makes any sense to me why people would do that, unless they were absolutely filthy, stinking rich of course. Although even if I was rich I'd still be a bargain hunter - it's something that is either installed in your or not and in my case it most definitely is!

If you are like me and like a bargain then Home Bargains is the store for you! I discovered it after a new retail park opened in town, it had the usual suspects - Next, Boots, Peacocks, TK Maxx and a shop I hadn't seen before Home Bargains. I wondered what kind of stuff they sold and went for a look around, that was the day I became hooked.

Home Bargains
For those who have never been in a Home Bargains shop they are run by the T J Morris chain. Tom Morris founded T J Morris Ltd approximately 30 years ago when he opened his first store in Old Swan, Liverpool. Tom comes from a retailing family that has run shops for over two generations so he has plenty of experience in what makes a good shop!

From these humble beginnings the company has grown to over 100 stores and now employs more than 3,000 staff, making it one the largest companies on Merseyside. This success has been achieved by applying one simple principle: selling branded goods at the lowest possible price. TOP BRANDS - BOTTOM PRICES.

The company intends to continue its rapid growth throughout the UK and over the next ten years the company plans to grow to 500 stores, employing over 10,000 staff.

So what do they sell?

The answer - a bit of everything! Health & beauty products, food, childrens toys, household (cleaning products etc), seasonal (gardening equipment, BBQ stuff, Christmas decorations etc depending on time of year), clothing, sweets and snacks, alcohol and homestyle (duvet sets, kitchenware, saucepans etc).

The Health & Beauty departments sells all kinds of stuff - toothpaste, toothbrushes, body lotions, skincare products, razors, hair care and styling products, feminine products, baby products. A mixture of top brand names like Johnsons, Colgate, Gilette, Olay, Clearasil and many others combined with own brand items.

Seasonal items at the moment include garden equipment which ranges from tools to chairs and tables, parasols, weed killer etc and stuff like BBQ equipment and summer tableware and picnic ware.

Toys is pretty much as you'd imagine a range of toys and kids items. They sell little toys ranging up to bigger toys (especially at christmas) they also sell art items such as paints and pencils and colouring books.

The food and drink sells all kinds of stuff - crisps, breakfast cereals, tea/coffee, biscuits, chocolate bars, pasta, cooking sauces blah blah blah the list could be endless. You may find that some of the food items have a short shelf life and be close to the best before date but they are ALWAYS still in date so no need to worry about that.

I love this shop because it is a dolly mixture of bargain delights.
