How many of us women get fed of paying extra just because we are not a size 12? I know I do. Shopping for clothes can be a nightmare especially where I live as there is only two places that sell larger clothes, one being good ole Evans and the other one Options.
Options sell clothes from all the usual larger ladies stores such as Evans, Ann Harvey, Elvi even Inspire, but they are at a considerably cheaper price and they aren’t seconds or even last years fashions. At the moment all the usual shops, (including the average size persons), have in the t-shirts with all the different saying on like ‘Never Judge a girl by her t-shirt’ or ‘Buy me a drink and I might.’ Well so do Options and whereas the others charge anything from £20 upwards, Options sell them for around £10.
I’ve bought some of the trousers that are the cropped ones. I saw them in a number of shops during the week and in a friends catalogue they were priced at £35 mine exactly the same £15.

They don’t only do young fashions either as they cater for all age groups from teens to grans. But they are still fashionable, some days you go in and there are daughters with their mothers and the mothers are buying the younger clothes as they are trendy. The other week there was a couple a she was looking for her going away outfit as she was getting married the following week, she had seen the same outfit in another shop and it had been nearly £150 she saw it in Options for £50 and couldn't believe it.
The staffs are all friendly and they get new stock in a few times a week. Opening times I think will depend on area as mine is near the market it closes on a Wednesday but is open Monday through Saturday apart from that. They accept debit and credit cards and cheques as well as cash, this has been good for me as I have got a bit carried away and not had enough cash so I’ve been able to pay by cheque. If the clothes aren’t right then you can get an exchange or a credit, but apart from one pair of trouser that zipped at the back that I couldn’t do up on my own, I’ve been happy with everything.
I think the only disadvantage is the chance that you could end up spending more than you anticipated, but when you walk out with twice what you would anywhere else then it is a bargain really.
I was recently introduced to Littlewoods and although I am not a big fan of mailing order, I did think Littlewoods was worth ordering. It had some good brand names, and a good selection of items to chose from.
It was like your family catalogue. I also liked the fact for you get £15 off your first order if you buy something over £30 and more if you recommend a friend and they spend £30 over, you get £25 discount or a free gift of your choice from your selection.
The catalogue itself is very good, it has all the top names for sports and casual wears. I like the toys section and the home accessories wasn't that bad.
Customer care is very good and they are easy to talk to if you need any help. However, they do have credit limit which varies according to how long you have shopping, which can sometimes be a problem. But, they do ...

Advantages: good prices, many options Disadvantages: sometimes I find the shops crowded
Tesco, is for me a daily routine, I am used to shop there both for quick buys or big ones.
I find convenient the meal deal options for lunch break and the cheap ready meals.
Shops are usually well kept and staff is always gentle and ready to help, quality of food is high compared to the relatively low price. These are some reasons to go and buy there and of the healthy condition of the company itself.
I am a satisfied customer, and I would recommend others to go there, but most probably I dont need to do that because this brand is widely known and everybody already goes there. In my opinion some shops should try to manage better the long queues of the rush hours. ...

I live in the british colony of Gibraltar. Tobacco and alcohol are tax duty free, amaizing prices, but what we lack is a good supermarket. We have Morrisons superket in Gibraltar which they are quite resnable back in the U.K but because of products being shipped into Gibraltar, we have to pay even higher prices than the U.K Morrisons.
A person living on mininum wage would struggle with grocerie shopping if Morrisons in Gibraltar was the last option. Prices are scandalous!
What we need in Gibraltar is a LIDL once and for all, the only reason we dont have a LIDL is because it would put Morrison completely out of business and its not in the government interest.
LIDL products are good quality and affordable, service affords an excelent sence of urgency and the market layout is simple. ...
