thank you
so is there four in Birmingham do you know ??
I've e.mailed them asking for one in Essex but no reply
maybe if a few more people asked ???

There are 4 listed within 5 miles of Birmingham on the website. Depends which area of Birmingham you're going to and which way you'll be driving as to which is closer for you.
I've also been to the Northampton store, which is on the way-well, it was for me when I went to Birmingham on the M1. There's a car park outside and it was a well stock store. Seem to remember coming out with loads of shopping anyway! The Bletchley one is probably the closest to us. Will be hopefully going there before christmas if I can pursuade my friend to drive up there.

I've emailed HB about opening more stores in the south of England and they said they plan to, but probably not near London in the near future. I'm near the London/Essex border, but will travel for Home Bargains!

we are going to the NEC in Birmingham , whats the closest and best one to that ??

Not sure. Hopefully someone from the Birmingham area will be able to advise you more on that. If you have the postcode of the NEC, you can find the closest branch on the HB website, but it might not be the biggest branch.

The nearest HB to the NEC is Chelmsley Wood, its about 3-4 miles from there. Its an old Woolworths store so pretty big. Im not sure how it compares to the others as Ive not been to them. Hope that helps.

I know the insect hatching kits have been mentioned before (Butterfly, Ladybird and Stick Insect ones), just thought I'd mention they had lots in today at the Burslem store, £3.99 each, and the same stick insect ones are in Hawkins bazaar at the moment priced at a whopping £24.99 http://www.hawkin.com/find/keyword-is-stick+insect/product-is-08929?SearchIsReferrer=true

Hi, sorry if this has already been posted. Went in Stafford branch of H&B today and picked up Hannah Montana My Secret Pillow for £8.99. In Argos for £24.99 and Wilkinsons for £19.99. That'll do nicely for DD's christmas pressie.:T

My mum bought my daughter the leapfrog clickstart keyboard from HB for £25 which is a great price as most other places are around £40 but she didnt pick the games up which were selling at 3 for £5 because she wanted to check with me about what was suitable for her age when we returned today there was none left:( everywhere else is between £5 and £10 EACH im gutted as we have the console now and dont want to spend a fortune on games has anybody seen them elsewhere at a good price?
Thanks in advance.

They might still be in other stores if you have any other ones nearby? Do they just sell things until they sell out or remove them from all stores at the same time?
