    I always like B&M Bargains for a bargain - although you can probably do much better.

    They have a big store by Cleveleys bus station, and I think a smaller shop on Highfield Road.

    My all time favourite top tip - not a money saving but I reckon a bargain, is to get an ice cream from Notrianis Ice Cream !!!!!! in Waterloo Road south shore. They make the ice cream themselves freshly and it is my all time favourite ice cream. To find it just get to McDonalds South Shore and then go round the corner into Waterloo Road and you can't miss it.

    Enjoy.

    It depends what you're looking for from a farm shop, but see https://www.farmerparrs.com (nr Fleetwood). Definitely worth a visit, especially if you have children. You could get a tram or drive (about 15 minutes from Blackpool town centre).
    You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are.

    loads of pound shops in the town centre. hounds hill shopping centre (near the tower and winter gardens) has a few bargain shops including "half price or less" and a fab perfume counter with good deals. and beaker, you're right, there's a smaller b&m on highfield rd :)

  • Try Whittards at the side entrance of Hounds Hill Shopping Centre. Its a clearance shop.

    I was there at the weekend and spent over a £100 in there on gifts.

    Most items are 75% off. So if you like Whittards tea, coffee, cups etc its a great shop.

    Theres also a shop called Steals. Its a clothing shop that sells Asda, Top Shop, Top Man, BHS and Debenhams stock at greatly reduced prices.

    Have a great weekend !!!
