Home Bargains

Alright, so you're after a bargain, are you? Well, the Home Bargains right in Southport town centre is a good shout. It's got a 4.4 rating from over a thousand Google reviews, so people seem happy enough. You can find pretty much anything in there, from washing powder to cheap toys for the kids. Don't expect high-end stuff, obviously, but for everyday bits and bobs, it's a lifesaver.

It's one of those places you pop in for one thing and come out with a basket full. They sell a bit of everything: homewares, toiletries, electronics... you name it. Just be warned, some of the stuff is, well, cheap. You get what you pay for, like my Nana always said! But for things you need in a pinch, or just don't want to spend a fortune on, it's ideal.

The opening hours are pretty good too, open 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday, and even 10am to 4pm on Sundays. You can give them a ring on 01704 531144 if you need to check if they've got something specific in stock.

One tip: it can get REALLY busy on Saturday afternoons, so try and go earlier in the day if you can't stand crowds.
