Jason’s Trading Post

Useful for storage items or stocking fillers but not a quality shop.

This little shop is completely crazy, but also pretty damn good at the same time! Everytime I walk past or have a little wander through the shop it amazes me at just how much stuff they manage to cram into a relatively small area. You will notice Jason’s Trading Post from the outside because of the amount of stuff they have out on the patio in front of the doors — from gardening pots, to sink trays, to cooking ware — they really do offer a load of random bits and pieces.
The best thing about the place is that they are really cheap, so if you are a bargain hunter then you are in for a treat — you will probably find that everything is much cheaper than it would be from any chain store — and the staff are so friendly and happy too which just makes a bonus! It’s a great place if you are after something for the home but you’re not sure where they would sell it, as you will probably find this shop has what you are looking for. It’s also good to just have a look around to get some inspiration — it’s hard to leave the place without a few items in your hands!

Basically very similar to a pound shop, lots of bric a brac type items at cheap prices, low quality stuff. They have storage items, kitchen item, diy bits etc. and greetings cards also. Some stuff is on display outside so as you walk past you always have a nosy but if you want someting of good quality then here is not the place!

This is a pretty pikey little shop and you will find mostly rubbish and tat in here (and outside displayed all over the pavement) but I found it quite useful when we moved in not far away because they had odds and ends like storage boxes and coathangers. I wouldn’t really buy anything here that I expected to be very high quality or resist heavy wear and tear but for basic items like a dustpan and brush or something it’s quite handy.
