    Very few bags are branded, but Jane Norman shows on those ones as it is on the metal tag. Bags range from a few pounds to £50 or more, lovely leather bags which look v v expensive & cheaper fashion bags, from £3 upwards, also purses & gloves. A few overnight bags sometimes - I've had one for years which has been well admired and I think it cost me £5.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi

    Can you let us have more details of the Argos outlet in Weldon Nr. Corby,

    Many thanks

    Pat

    Hi

    I work at the Argos Clearance Bargains outlet in Corby. We sell items that are not in the Main Chain Argos catalogues any more at reduced prices.

    We sell new and reconditioned items all come with a 12 month warrinty.

    Unlike Argos we do not take back items unless they are defective and you have proof of purchase.

    hope this helps.

    I know of two food shops. One is in Misson, S. Yorks, open to anyone. Its not a factory shop, but its sells stuff super cheap! I mean, £2 bars of lindt choc for 20P etc. We stock up on coffee & tea as they always have great savings! I got a bag of 500 pg tips bags for £1. Most of the stuff is pretty close to sell by date, but a fair amount isn't, some of it is rubbish, of course, but we always pop in if we are in the area & have had some amazing bargains, including beer & wines & spirits!


    The other one, which really is a factory shop is in Barnsley, S. Yorks, just off the M1. You need a membership card, but we managed to get one pretty easily. we wrote to them & explained our catering experience (its aimed at people who work in the catering trade, but not for people who run their own catering businesses! so be careful what you write)

    This is fabulous! Waitrose & M&S ready meals for 49p, £15 joints of m&S meat £2! catering 2ltr tubs of Asda currys, 49! & loads, loads, loads more! Its called 'Company Sales' & its always absolutely packed! you'll have to google the info on these as I'm afraid I don't know it.

    I went there with friends who are members. You can only go in with a membership card and can only take one guest. I picked up a leaflet and asked if there were other branches ( it is not near where I live) and was told yes, and she ratteled off a few places, and told me theer was even one in spain. Told to call the number on the leaflet for details of others. When I did, I was told there are "no other shops you can use as they are all inside factories". She was very firm about it and I had not said what I did yet, so I fibbed and said that i did work in a factory. Was then told that I could apply in person by bringing 2 wage slips and photo ID to the shop. I can't of course but hope this is helpful to other peeps. My friend works in the NHS, not catering. I think it might be for keyworkers or low paid folks or civil servants, or some combination of those. Lots of things are on the sellby date but they are cheap indeed and were branded with the names of all the major supermarkets but apparently "are packed for company shop Ltd irrespective of manufacturer or multiple labels". It is a bit of a mystery, but we don't need to know I suppose.
    Googling them fails to bring up a website, but does bring up ads for jobs with them in various branches on the JobCentre Plus site. IF they do have a web presence can someone post it here?
    Ta.
    And a list of the branches.
