Home Bargains

Home bargains Govan is somewhere you are likely to find that «I don’t know where I will find it» item (a bit like Woolworths used to be).
The store sells everything from household essentials to seasonal goods (currently garden items, Halloween and Christmas!). The selection of groceries is great, often you will find unusual things, or things which would be really expensive somewhere else.

This branch of Home Bargains in Govan wee-​wees all over the one in Crow Road I am afraid to say… My first experience of a HB was the Crow Road shop & yes, I liked their mucho bargainous deals but it didn’t totally blow me away… I had heard from my good friend Elizabeth F that Govan shopping centre also had it’s own HB & it was a beezer ~ she was right! I don’t know why but this shop seems to stock better, nicer & more varied items compared the Partick one.
I have only been in this particular one about 3 times but every time I have always found the staff to be very nice, pleasant & helpful. The last couple of times I’ve been in they’ve had a member of staff actually helping you pack your bags at the till which is a really nice touch & doesn’t feel like you’re getting them to go out of their way to assist you. I am often in not long before closing time (after work) and they are always very courteous & polite regarding informing you that their store is closing soon; nae ‘Oi! WE’RE SHUTTING!’ or a loudspeaker to frighten you out the shop here, thankfully.
HB offer a variety of goods from the edible to beauty to kids toys to gardening & household goods — I think of it as a nice (and usually cheaper) alternative to a pound shop or a B&M, although the latter I have never visited but from what I hear it is quite similar to a Home Bargains.
Before Christmas I was in search of a reasonably cheap (but not illegal/​dangerously cheap!) hot water bottle and couldn’t find one anywhere that wasn’t either a stupid expensive price or possibly banned in most countries. Step up Home Bargains! I wandered in after work not expecting to find any hot water bottles (hadn’t seen any in the Partick branch) & looking for something else completely when ta-​da! HB don’t disappoint again ~ I found me some brilliant & cute looking (SAFE!) hot water bottles for a great price, I was so chuffed ~ people around me must’ve thought I don’t get out much as I’m sure I did a wee Unilocal of delight when I seen them!!! Oops. Alongside the hot water bottles I also managed to find some cracking Xmas deccos & also some lovely gifts for people too. A very successful shopping trip indeed.
If you find yourself in need of household goods or cheap food/​drink (they sell alcohol too — some real ales as well) then I would thoroughly recommend a visit to Home Bargains, this one in particular. It’s very handy for the Govan subway & bus station too.

fantastic shop. friendly and helpfull staff. the prices for food toiletries and household goods are the cheapest in any store in govan. ive got to know a few of the staff and they are all lovely cheerfull and helpfull no matter what time of day you go into the store. when you ask for an item they take you straight to it .i think its one of the best stores govan has had in a long time. thank you all managers and staff at govan branch.

What can I say about Home Bargains when the name says it all! It truly has everything you need in your home and so much more! Cleaning product, beauty product, toys, art supplies, gardening… it literally has everything. I honestly don’t think I’ve every left empty handed!
This one is in Govan shopping centre however if you managed to the other in Ibrox or paisley you’ll find all the above complete with home décor section, all at a low price!

Oh I love me a piece of Home Bargains. This place is awesome with so much on offer. I was so pleased when this shopping heaven arrived in Govan. Most of Govan Cross Shopping Centre had been lying empty, as this had been a Co-​op previously. Now them shops have been filling up like a pirate filling his bag full of booty.
It’s got plenty of good affordable stock, with lots of well known brands at low prices. There’s toiletries, toys, domestic stuff, stationary, art materials and food and drinks, now including the alcomaholic kind.
I’ve picked up many items cheaply, from toothpaste, hair dye, artist’s canvas’ to some grub for lunch. This place is bright and the staff are friendly. It’s normally quite busy but they will open up another till if getting a bit mobbed, so never a long queue to be found.
If I’ve needed materials for work, I’ve always been able to pick exactly what work’s needed without spending a fortune. Good deals, good goods, good stuff!
