Matalan

Matalan certainly is a similar shop to Primark. It’s full of very well priced (some would say cheap) clothes and housewares. The quality is ok for the money but if you like your labels then you’d probably give it a miss.
It’s great for suits, shirts and ties for work, there’s plenty there for the kids like tracksuits and trainers. The houseware section seems well stocked and they also sell electricals, even large items like televisions!
Well worth a look though if you are on a tight budget or just love a bargain.

For me, Matalan is the new Primark! It is another place to get pretty decent quality stuff at bargain prices. Clothing suitable for all occasions, I love getting work clothes from here, tops especially, many casual tops are as little as £5 or £6 and just that little bit better quality than the £3 in Primarni! Really great accessories too, many of which are featured in many magazines nowadays * bags, scarves, jewellery, hair accessories all from as little as £1 or £2! They cater for all styles, casual, smart, fashion as well as all sizes and shapes. They have shoes from as little as £12 which is fabulous! Clothes for women, as well as a great men’s range and plenty of ranges for kids. It never ends! There is a home dept with all the basics you would need, curtains, quilts, saucepans, cutlery, candles, occasional gifts and ranges like Christmas lines, Halloween costumes and so much more! It’s definitely worth saving a whole day to have a really good look around!
