    Agree that the bras are as good as other high street shops, for a fraction of the price. I also rate their mattress protectors, face cloths and cosy socks.

    Some of their cotton tops shrink or the seams go weird but for basics to use as layers they're fine for their price.

    I went last week and got a pack of two ladies bikinis for £6.00 one black one red/white stripe. great bargain.

    I also buy the childrens socks they wash well., Also bought some ladies canvas pumps £2.00.

    My daughter loves primark, but my son hates it with a passion.

    I always buy mine and DS's winter PJs from primark, great price and wash really well. Have learnt not to put in the drier though! Last winter I bought four jumpers (acrylic type I think?) to wear with my jeans - 3 from asda and 1 from primark. The asda ones (which were more expensive) look shocking all bobbly and shapeless, the primark one (which was cheaper and I have actually worn more) looks like new still!

    I also buy DS's socks from there, and his summer t-shirts. :o)
    It is only a bargain if you need it!

    once again - towels - the ordinary bath sheets rather than the more expensive supersoft ones that turned out to be fairly water repellent! the ordinary ones are still soft, brightly coloured and in shape 3 years on :)

    men's cargo shorts last summer - £7 and still going strong

    fancy beaded hairband - £1, similar in other shops ~£12. and its comfortable too!

    My other half had camo shorts last year,they were good quality and similar pairs were over 30 quid in Next,he paid 8 pounds if memory serves.

    I have had all sorts from primark, last week I got a pack of 2 kids thermal vests for £1. Over winter my daughter really wanted some ear muffs and I looked everywhere for some I ended up buying two pairs from primark because they were only a pound each, and they are still as fluffy now as when I bought them.

    3 pairs of Girls boots reduced from £6 each to £1 each.

    If you want a piccy i can put one up :)
    I have 2 gorgeous kids :D
  • The chiffon-y knee length frill neck dresses, give these a miss if you plan on wearing them more than once or twice. Falls apart in the wash, I thought it might have just been the first one, but after the second did the same best to avoid!
  • The kids clothes are FAB for the price. I filled my 7 year old's holiday wardrobe last summer for around £40 - t-shirts £1 each, shorts £2 each etc. They are still in great condition and I've kept them for my younger son for this summer's holiday. So for £40 that's two boys summer hols sorted. Also got sunglasses and pumps in this price :):):)

    I was only in there last week and thought they had actually put their prices up considerably, and not really upped the quality to match. I was on the lookout for jumpers and struggled to find anything in a nice soft material for under £10, and since thats the kind of price range they were supposed to specialise in I wasnt impressed. A year or so ago I bought three t shirts (nice ones not basic ones), a handbag, a belt and a pair of shoes for under £15, you couldnt do that now, and the stuff still falls apart...
