    Hi peeps!

    Just thought I'd let you know that I've been in touch with Home Bargains (and Quality Save which I think is the same company with a different name) and they have confirmed their coupon policy (some cheap shops like this won't accept coupons/vouchers) - they'll accept the coupon if you're buying the product but will not give change if the value of the product is less than the value of the coupon. Pretty good considering the bargain prices in there already! Woo :oD

    Hope this helps someone!

    Quality Save was founded in 1974 by Bob Rudkin.
    He started off with a Indoor market stall in Walkden and a small single unit shop in Farnworth (Which is no longer a Quality Save store)
    The Quality Save Head Office/Store is in Swinton.
    Quality Save stores have a red and sky blue branding which used to be similar to the Home Bargains branding until it was changed to avoid confusion between the two companies, although 11 stores still carry the old signs.
    They have a total of 21 Stores including the head store in Swinton with about 300 employees.

    They are supplied by another chain of discount chains TJ Morris (Trading as Home Bargains) which are sometimes mistaken to be the same company.

    Although the slogan for the company is "Quality Brands at Quality Prices", the stores carrying the old signs display the slogan as "Top Brands at Bottom Prices" which is the Home Bargains slogan.


    Home Bargains is a chain of discount stores operating in Northern England and the Midlands, founded by Tom Morris in Liverpool, England approximately 30 years ago.
    His 1st store opend in 1976 in Old Swan, Liverpool and shut in September 2008 after over 30 years of business).
    It is part of the TJ Morris chain, who also have stores under the name Halfpriceorless.
    The original Liverpool stores were called 'Home & Bargain' but the name was changed in the late 1990s, although customers still locally refer to it by its old name.
    Home Bargains have over 200 stores and 4500 employees

    Thanks for that, I always did wonder whether they're the same company....they seem to have the same things on offer. The good news is, they both have the same coupon policy :j
