Wilkos my local wonderland.

Advantages: Cheap with lots of variety.
Disadvantages: Not very easy to find your way around

Just 2 minutes walk from where I live is a brilliant shop which sells all sorts of things and at a price which I do not mind paying. I go there very frequently. I love it. The prices they charge are good and the quality of their own products never fails me.

The types of products sold include cleaning products both own brands, which are very cheap, and big names. Bleach, floor cleaners, bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, and air fresheners unfortunately they do not provide the person to use these things.

Personal hygiene products lady’s products, men’s products, baby products and even children’s ... more

Not for the time poor.

Advantages: Some good bargins
Disadvantages: lots of tat

Wilkinsons are a mixed blessing, in short. They are a high street shop, selling all kinds of everything, some of it good, some of it rubbish. Their stock is somewhat unpredictable, so while they will appeal to the hardened bargin hunter, anyone who needs something specific, fast, may not do so well. A brief overview of things I've seen them stock: babycare products, toiletries, kitchenware, sweets, clothes, bed linnen, stationary, garden furniture, ...
...be fair to say that Wilkinsons are cheap. They do sell known brands, so you can pick up a real bargin, for example their Johnsons baby wipes are significantly cheaper than anyone elses, as are their folders and pads of writing paper. If you have a bit of time to hunt through for brands you know and love, you can come away with a few bargins. Now, their own brand material is even cheaper, which may persuade you to sample it. I'll confess, I did. I ...

Cheap and (mostly) cheerful

Advantages: Almost everything you need under one roof | Good Value For Money | Good Customer Service
Disadvantages: The Queues

...and a few, such as Wilkinsons that I don't mind going in now and again. I've only ever used one Wilkinsons store in my life, so I'm afraid that I'll only be able to tell you with my experiences in that particular one, which is situated in Basildon Town centre. The store, itself, is large, spacious and reasonably well laid out. The majority of the aisles are large enough so that manoeuvring a buggy or wheelchair is a breeze. The only exception is ...
...two flavours, big-brand names and Wilkinsons own brand name (Wilko's). Perhaps you'd like a little more detail about what they sell, well I'll try but won't go into too much detail as they literally sell thousands of different goods. The main section I buy from sells household goods, you know the kind of thing, black bags, oven cleaners, polish etc. I find the prices are significantly lower than the major supermarkets, and their own versions of ...

Will you find what you want, you bet you Wilkinson

Advantages: Everything under one roof - and so much cheaper
Disadvantages: I'll get back to you on that one

The Wilkinson’s store in Ipswich has probably been open just over two years now, and every Ipswichian in the town either knows of it or shops there. When it was first announced that this discount shop was going to open you could hear a loud groan…yet ANOTHER cheap shop that sells a whole load of tat. Ipswich is a fairly big town and suddenly it seems that every other shop you walk past is a discount store of one sort or another, but ...
...this one was different, and although it can’t really be called classy, it is certainly done in good taste. It is rare to go in and not find what you require, and it is rarer still to find something that is not hugely cheaper than other supermarkets and shops. It has a huge range of everyday household objects like cleaning products and personal grooming stuff as well as seasonal items added throughout the year, all at cracking prices. It’s ...

Where Would I Be Without Wilko

Advantages: Huge selection of stock at extremely good prices
Disadvantages: None

...my local store the staff are always pleasant and helpful too. I think that there is a Wilkinsons in most towns and cities, but if you want to check if there is one near you, there is a useful store finder on their website at www.wilko.co.uk Happy Shopping! ...

A Review from an Employee: Insider

Advantages: Lots of Selection
Disadvantages: Lots of Tack

...keep the customer happy at Wilkinsons stores. This, however, is through no fault of the customer. Wilkinsons is a very disorganised store, it seems that it is not only the customers who cannot find products they have come into buy but as an employee i find it difficlt to find certain "smaller" products for them. Products are constantly moved around by staff and customers alike and promotions are constantly shifted for a "lager sale". It seems however ...
...thus creating money loss for Wilkinsons and an Angry Customer. I would like now to focus on the Till's. These are where I am primarily located whist at work. On a busy saturday i serve around 1000 customers in a five hour shift. This load is huge as you can imagine and what goes with that is cash. Obviously i take alot, and for safety and security reasons i cannot state how much. However, on a saturday it has been noted that Wilkinsons can take up ...

Saving me money at Wilkinsons

Advantages: Saves me spending money on things I dont really need
Disadvantages: Make sure your order everything you need.

I love to go shopping in Wilkinson's, however it does cause me a few problems. I go in for one item and come out with three carrier bags full of goodies. Two bags hanging from the pushchair handles and one bag placed in the pushchair, telling my daughter that its good for her to walk! Nasty Mother. Anything on offer and I'll buy it, this most of the time tends to be a waste of money as these things sit in my cupboards gathering dust only then to be given away to friends or the local charity shop. Whilst recently going through some of my cash back websites I noticed that Wilkinson's were available on line with a small amount of cash back. Great I thought I can buy what I need only and stop wasting so much money. So off with pen and paper I set checking through my bathroom and kitchen cupboards then to the shed to see what ...

Review of Wilkinson Plus

A tropical burst for your clothes

Advantages: smells lovely
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

~ Obviously the price will vary depending on where you shop. Wilkinsons are currently selling this for £1.38 for the 750ml bottle and £2.65 for the 1.5l bottle. ~Overall Opinion~ I was quite impressed with this, it had a lovely smell, and was a lot more noticeable on my clothes than previous fabric conditioners I have used, and would say it is the nicest one I have used so far. Because of the price, I am not sure I will go back to using fabric softener full time, but I might buy a bottle of this to use now and again. I am looking forward to using my sample of Comfort tropical's other fragrance 'tempting nature', and just hope it's as good as this one.

Review of Comfort Fabric Conditioner Tropical Burst

10/10 Hamsters recommend it

Advantages: cheap and good quality
Disadvantages: none

Now that my daughter has two hamsters I tend to buy their needy items in larger packs so that they not only prove to hopefully being a little cheaper but also so that they last longer, not that your average hamster has a massive appetite I hasten to add. I normally buy all hammy products in my local Wilkinson store as I shop there on a regular basis and they offer quite a vast range of pet products at excellent prices. However on my last trip around my local Poundland shop I noticed that they too are starting to bring out a range of pet food and accessories from dog leads and tins of food to fish flakes and squeaky toys. At the end of the display to my delight I found a huge bag of Hamster and Gerbil mix weighing in at 1.25kg! I can vouch for the fact that my hamsters at least are not the slightest bit fussed that it doesn’ ...
