Milton Keynes Bargain Shops???

I am going to MK next weekend for some pre-Christmas shopping therapy!!

I am looking forward to Home Bargains and B&M (yes, I know its sad, but we dont have any near Southampton) ;)

Any locals have suggestions of bargain shops? Outlet shops? Good charity shops?

Is there anything you would suggest as a good place to check out?

Many thanks :j

  • Hi!
    Bletchley has a retail park with Next clearance and TK Maxx which is always worth a look! Across the road is matalan and a big B&M. The high street in bletchley does have a lot of charity shops and there are some pretty good ones :) (That's where home bargains is anyway!) at the end of the highstreet is a big wilkos too.
    I guess it depends what you are looking for, massive toys r us by the station, pound stretcher in westcroft retail park ....
    Happy shopping! :j

    Hi
    City Centre has a £ shop and thats about it for there!!, Newport Pagnell has some good charity shops but as emmalouise said, Bletchley is the best part for CS's. If you don't want to hit the City Centre then stay at Bletchley, there are plenty of the shops you want without having to pay expensive parking charges, shout if you need a map or directions :]]

  • Thank you very much Helen - Bletchley it is then......I think thats where HB and B&M are too.

    Cant wait!! :j

    Head down to Stony Stratford when you have finished in Bletchley, there are a few charity shops there of you are doing the CS run, and its worth walking round to see The !!!! & The Bull Inn's (!!!! & Bull story comes from a competition between these to inns) And the !!!! is also from 'Ride a !!!! hourse to Banbury Cross'

    !!!! is filter for the short version of Male Chicken :)
