Home Bargains

It is exactly what it says on the tin, Bargains for the Home.
However, it’s frequently under-​staffed, and the layout is sloppy. Items aren’t always grouped in the same place, so therefore making it difficult to find specific items.
There are many occasions when there are long queues and the checkout operators are chatting to friends or collegues, with no regard to the people waiting.
It’s a great shop if you want to wander around and don’t have anything particular in mind, other than picking up items cheaper than other shops. Also, a lot of items are only available once, so its disappointing to go back and find its no longer there.

For bargains this is the place they have stuff other shops want to get rid of quickly so it maybe short dated food but at a fraction of the price. Toys and presents are a fantastic buy from here and so are kids character pj;s at only £3.99! In fact alot of stuff i see on ebay comes from home bargains! The only downfall to this one is the staff. I spent 20 mins queing at a till whilst the assistant lent back and chatted and flirted with another member of staff, the a freind came in and she had another chat. then she left the till to get a price and came back and had a disscusion with the other checkout operator about it!!! I would like to say it a one off but its regular in this store, but its the bargains that pull you back!

The staff are always on busy refilling shelves or serving on the tills although occasionally i have seen them chatting and not doing their job but more often than not they are generally friendly and helpful.
The layout of the store is pretty simple and it is easy to find what you want most of the time.
This home bargains stocks stuff that could probably be found in other countries and so if you see something you like buy it because it may not be there next time you go.
Home bargains does get busy due to it being a popular shop.
The checkout staff can be quite slow especially when an assistant is needed at the checkout, they seem to take an age!
