    I used to work in Home Bargains during College. Even I used to spend money after my shift! It does bring in temptation in buying chocolate/fizzy drinks. I always used to buy diet coke cans (they used to be 25p, but I think they've gone up now to 30p lol).

    I miss Home Bargains - there isn't one in London :(

    I used to love the staff Christmas parties too (in January though lol) - free food and booze!

    I love to go to Home Bargains, Last year I bought some really cheap wicker baskets and on subsequent visits toiletries perfume sweets chocolates small toys etc. I was able to make up four really nice Christmas baskets for presents for around a fiver each. Am doing this again this year.
