    I usually buy my linen trousers from M&S but at £35 a pair and I needed 4 pairs for a holiday I went to primark and at £9 a pair and I couldn't tell the difference in quality. :j

    I like Primark for the basics - the boys pants stay in good nick for a long time, the vest tops are great for layering and the baby girls summer cotton dresses (under 2yrs) are usually really pretty and well made so definitely worth the 5 to 8 pounds they charge for them.

    Just a quick add on that if you have a mobility need (like a walking stick, or a wheelchair/scooter, or someone with you who has) they are the most pro-active store I go to. They always have a til at the far end where you can bypass the long queue to avoid standing for so long. You just wait at the end of the bank of tils and they serve you there straight away.

    im always in primark buying bits for me or the kids, it all washes up good doesnt go out of shaoe etc, the ques do put me off a bit but they do move pretty quick or i find in my branch (portsmouth) the upstairs tills the ques are shorter then the ones downstairs. and if you keep your eyes ope they do reduced stuff to like £1 or lower, ive had sum great pjs for £1 ideal xmas presants as they keep the shape ets ive got loads of primark pjs esp the fleece one nice and cosy for winter. so go on grab a bargin!!!!!

    The accessories and handbags are brill,i also love their fleecy pyjamas,it's the only place i buy them.

    But i won't buy the Mens t-shirts they seem to lose their shape and go wider even in a 30 degree wash,so i don't bother with those anymore.

    I think Primark is great, especially for the linen trousers in the summer - I pretty much live in these when its hot. Also great for pretty camisole type tops and summer tops, especially when the equivalent is about 3x the price in places like Oasis and Warehouse etc.

    Not too keen on the kids PJ's - I find the tops especially go wider and shorter in the wash. The fleecy ones are good though having said that.

    My kids grow so fast its fab for their clothes, I buy loads for them from there and generally, except for the PJ's as mentioned, quality is never an issue.

    Xmas Saver!
    never seen a primark post :D.

    i went into mine last week and got some good buys

    cardigan boots for me size 6 in black and grey for £2 each
    loads of t shirts for my boys £1.50 and some at just 50p. like others have said the t shirts are not always great as they can loose shape but for the price you can not moan even if they only last a few weeks.

    i also hate going in later in the day as others have gone in and clothes are just all over the floor so i tend to go in straight after i taken my boys to school all nice and tiday and no queues to fight my way through :D.
    there is rumor that we are having a big store built up with some other shops soon so am looking forward to that.
    have now given up smoking since feb 13th 2014 loving the money I'm saving
