I appreciate that many people do not have the finances to shop at Waitrose etc but Home Bargains must now be the lowest of the low (except for Poundland). Even their name brand products seem to have a stale look to them.
The place is full of chavs picking up multi packs of Haribo's!
I used to have a big problem with Aldi & Lidl but, with the introduction of new stores, they both have pushed themselves up the ladder with tidier stores and better ranges.
There's nothing wrong with Home Bargains. I buy my toiletries from there and save about 50% compared with buying the same products from Boots and Superdrug.
Home Bargains is great for garden stuff. It's also a great place to take the grandchildren. They are happy to receive a "bargain" toy or stationery and the low price keeps me happy. They even have an online presence which works. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the store.
Totally agree with Vindec on this one. Excellent for toiletries, ad-hoc stuff like de-humidifiers, garden wares, birdfood, swing-bins, the list is endless. You do get people from both ends of the social spectrum but so what, I don't go there to judge others.
You may be interested to know their tampons are cheaper than boots etc. They’re stuck up c**** too
Always good for cheap light bulbs!
Ok for cheap toys for Christmas, perhaps some kids would have bugger all if not for Home Bargains, B & M etc. Not just for Christmas either, my missus picks things up for the grandkids there, colouring books, pencils etc. They’ve got their place in the retail chain.
I bought sone Gillette aftershave Balm there which was half the price of Boots. Despite coming in the same box and bottle, the contents were totally different and utter crap
Bought a bottle from Boots a day later, totally different although the ingredients were supposedly the same. Maybe out of date balm......
This. Nothing wrong with the place. Of course there is a lot of crap in there, but the same is true of John Lewis. I'd not rely registered the food but nowt wrong with loads off their stuff. Kids toys in particular.
I'll always welcome a bargain no matter what I earn. I've got a mate who earns premiership footballer money and he still drops into places like this and does shopping at Aldi etc because he just doesn't see the sense in paying more than he needs to.
Absolutely. I've shopped in virtually every supermarket from Waitrose to Lidl, Aldi to Sainsbury and everything in between. All supermarkets have good stores and average ones. In no way does going to a more expensive supermarket mean better quality, not even with M&S. Expensive supermarkets are just a class or snobbery thing.
Here's some snobbery debunking as well; Having relied very heavily on home delivery for the last 8 months and tried all of the major players, we're surprised that Iceland have blown the others away, accuracy, value, promptness & freshness.
I had never previously considered that Iceland would become our major provider.
Not if you are vegetarian, we made a order midway through lockdown, ordered mainly Veggie stuff, like quorn, put together a decent order, it was 60 something quid worth, they turned up with 18 quid of stuff, even though it was s.posed to be in stock, they actually hadnt had it in for weeks ( and didnt have it in for a few more weeks )
