Savers (Shop)

Savers Health, Home, Beauty Many people these days do a lot of legwork when it comes to finding good deals. Lots of normal people scour all of the different supermarkets & shops in their area to try & find the lowest price for a particular item. Thats what websites like 'mySupermarket' & 'beforeishop' are for, comparing prices between the 4 Supermarkets, Boots & Superdrug. However, many of us are familiar with discount stores, such as 'Poundland' & '99p Stores' where big bargains can be found, but on ther downside a lot of tat & rubbish can be found too. One of my favourite discount stores ... more

I'm always on the look out for ways to save a few pennies, as I was brought up that if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves. So when I hunt out my basic toiletries, or even creating gift hampers, I'll always look for the cheapest place to buy them. For the last couple of years, one of my regular stops has been Savers, which is a funny sort of shop, that seems to be a cross-between the local chemist and Boots (only without a pharmacy).

They sell: >>Toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, razors, deodorant, etc.) >>Household cleaning products >>Some make-up >>Kodak film processing, film, disposable cameras >>Perfume counter Savers can be compared to Superdrug in the type of products they have on offer. However, there is no pharmacy. Their stores are very simply set ... more

I spend a lot of my time visiting shops and assessing them (in a vain attempt not have to work in one) in order to fund the ever increasing costs of my education. (So far, its been relatively unsuccessful but if I had a penny for every time I had said ‘Why am I doing this?’ with regards my education then I’m sure I could fund it easily!) That’s why I tend to avoid writing about shops for Ciao. Most of the time, I’m so sick of them that I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to write about them. . However there is one particular shop that I’ve been hearing a lot about and have recently discovered ... more
