B&M

I really love this place. This B&M is situated on the site that previously housed Homebase, so it is huge.
The only B&M I’d been to before was a couple of years ago, when I was in Yorkshire. I was really impressed with that store and it wasn’t an eighth of the size of this store. I looked at the website and it seems that they are springing up all around London and the South East. It’s a hard store to explain. It’s like a mix of Poundland, Robert Dyas and B&Q (if you’re American read Dollar General, Big Lots and Walmart). It also has quite a large but busy carpark.
This store is on two levels, complete with a garden centre attached. Upstairs is mainly concentrated on decorating and DIY goods. It has a large selection of non-​perishable foods, and a large section for biscuits and sweets. I even found French’s Steak Sauce for 49p, cheaper than purchasing it in the US. You can get TV’s here and audio equipment. There is also a furniture section and tons of toys and games. As its near Christmas two aisle are concentrated on decorations, mainly tat, but with some tasteful bargains too, with plenty of stocking filler gifts.
I really like this store, and know I will be back on a not too regular basis, but if I fancy a stroll around with nothing too much in mind, other than pick up a bargain.
