A HB store opened kinda near me recently but I've never been in. Is HB just like B&M or Poundland? Sorry know that sounds like a daft question but I don't know whether to go out of the way and have a look or is it one of those places that you just get the odd bargain in?

Definitely worth a visit. I go to B&M and Poundland too but never seem to get anything whereas Home Bargains ...... that is another story. They are just brilliant and everytime you go in, they have their specials near the front door which change regularly. They are still good though for the regular things they have, various food items, toiletries, Nicky toilet roll, (used to always used Andrex but now converted), they also often have short date life food items which are really cheap. Go, go, go ......:rotfl:

Oh my word, you don't know what you're missing!!! It's my favourite shop in the whole world!! :rotfl:

I have regular stuff that I buy there every week - food items, bleach, kitchen / toilet rolls etc - but also they have stuff that just comes in for a short time, such as toys, books etc - I usually pop in twice a week for a nosey to see what's new, and end up spending way more than I should! LOL xx

I agree - it's the best! Some quality kids' toys, like someone posted above, the Homes & Gardens stuff is great and works wonderfully - I really rate the glass cleaner. I got some RoC stretchmark oil there for £1.49 I think! Also lovely cake tins for £1.49 - similar ones in Tesco for £8.99! And a 100 wash box of Surf for £9.99. Last week I got 2 x Galaxy bars for 19p each. It's brill!

Don't tell me that, I got a cake tin (loose bottomed Go Cook Professional one) last week. Might dig out the receipt if I can get one in HM instead.

Thanks for all the info. I was worried it might be a wasted trip but I'm looking forward to a good rummage now.

Big bags of twiglets 39p.
I LOVE twiglets!
Also got the small christmas selection packs for 39p
Galaxy bites and Mars planets 140g family bags were only 69p
But my biggest downfall is the 'uncle sam's' butter popcorn
300g for 79p - very nice but loaded with calories!
Every time I go to HB a pack seems to find it's way into my basket!

And some other branded cards for 29p
