If you happen to live in the Hartlipool area there is a factory shop selling cakes, gateaus, and ready meals. This is open to the public and the timings are usual shop timings , closed over the lunch break. Sixteen portion gateaus are only £2 and small sponge cakes(6inchs)are 10 for £1, ready meals are 3 for £2. Most of these items were destined for M&S, tesco and asda. Shop is near the hospital.

Official insert: I've taken this thread and turned it into a Great Hunt. If you spot a factory shop please give as much detail as possible

I was reading one of the posts involving buying food stuff from a factory shop and I wondered how you find out what factories have shops open to the public? I live quite near a chocolate factory that has a shop but didn't know it was there for about 14 years! How do you find them? Does anyone know of any cheap food outlets in Norfolk - I'm happy to buy bulk!!

Hi everyone! I'd like to know as well, is there any near me! I live in Beckenham, BR3. That's Bromley Council. That's South London / South East! Thanks!

Going south!!! The factory shop at Axminster (carpets/rugs naturally!) has opened a new shop, four times as big as the original (located at the roundabout coming out of Axminster and still open). It is half-a-mile down the Seaton road and well worth a visit.

Not quite a factory shop but ALLDERS, a department store company has gone into administration and are offering upto 70% off instore prices. The TV advert says that it is in all stores but the notes from the administrators (which can be accessed via their website), says that it is only in the ten stores than haven't been bought.

Hi

I work for Lands' End, so please dont jump on me from a great height! I just wanted to let you know they have outlet stores in Oakham, Rutland and in Maidenhead.

I know I work for them and I am bound to be biased but they have some great prices on their not so perfect and liquidated stock.... Sometimes as much as 70% off their retail price.

I hope I haven't broken the 'code' by posting this.....
