Their sunglasses and reading glasses are excellent value and very good quality. I've had Primark dressing gowns for years, have all washed and worn very well.

I always go there at Christmas for little bits and bobs for "tree" presents, they are also good for girls birthday parties, you can get loads of bangles, scarves, and sparkly bits for around £1.00 each.

Always always check the sizes of clothes on hangers, they are nearly always on the wrong sized hanger. There have been instances of labels inside the clothes saying two different sizes too so keep your receipt or try on before you buy if possible.

I try to go on a Monday or Tuesday morning when I have a day off work, they have tidied up a bit after the manic weekend rush and the tills are a lot quieter too. Get there early to use the changing rooms or if you're returning stuff.

I first found Primark during a day trip to Southend, with my mum, at least 15 years ago. I bought a handbag for her that day, she still has it and is still using it!

I'm a big fan of Primark. Went in the other day to pick up a couple of pairs of their linen trousers and found a nice black dress with a floral pattern on for £10! I can dress it up for work or down for a casual day out.

Love Primark, but don't visit too often as I spend too much!!!

Have to say I bought a cotton embroidered duvet set there last year and it is brilliant quality. It washes beautifully and has kept much better than the more expensive one I bought at the same time.

I love their clothes but always try on as their sizes can be way off the mark.

I bought some lovely baby shoes in the Swansea primark last week for £1. I daren't look round for too long as the people are mental, elbows everywhere and shoving!

I'd like to go first thing in the morning, surely it's quieter then?

My day off today and spotted 20p 'bin' in Poole Primark store - Grey woollen scarves originally £4 - down to 20p ! and Burgundy woollen fingerless gloves, originally £1.50 also 20p. Bought 5 scarves and 5 pairs of gloves for later this year when I get involved with our school's 'Shoebox Appeal' (Bovington Middle School). Back at work tomorrow will spread the word.......:j

i love the primark in blackpool, 4 floors of fun! we always start at the bottom and work upwards as the queues are a lot less on the top floor and as its where the home stuff is so much the better as its a good excuse to go up there

I love Primark stuff, but being at the larger end of the sizing scale I struggle a lot. They do more size 20 stuff now, but it often doesn't fit - though conversely the size 18 tops frequently do! It is quite frustrating, I wish they would standardise it properly.

I wear T shirts and jeans for work (as they are under overalls much of the time anyway), with jumpers in winter. I buy most of my T shirts and jumpers there.

You have to be so very careful at primark- try on before you buy, it will save you time, anxiety & money in the longrun.
The queues at customer service are phenomenal which puts off people returning goods, & that adds up to wasting money as you can't be bothered to wait 45mins to get your £8 return, whilst your parking costs add up. I saw a pregnant woman collapse in the queue this year, maybe there should be a warning sign like they have at funfairs ( not for the faint hearted )....
However, I have had some good buys there in the past- including 2 large leather handbags at £12 each which have been superbly tough & trendy & get so many compliments.

My favourite Primark PJ bottoms have been going strong for at least five years now ... no plans to get rid of them any time soon either!!

i swapped my wonky button dress today for one that wasn't and they only had one of that size all the others were 8 and 10's

I got a purse for £1 as mine is falling apart, pumps for me £4 now £2 but they are going back as they are too tight. Why i didn't try them on i don't know, bet they will all be gone.

baby shoes and childrens shoes £3 and the best buy was a tummy control swimsuit £8 i've just tried it on and it's fab

My mum got a bag reduced for her hols £3 don't know what normal price was.

I really wanted a maxi dress but they didn't really have any in my store.
