Discount Stores in Christchurch, Dorset

“I just love the place. When I'm in Poundland, I'm always trying to second-guess which items are cross-subsidising other items.But in Home Bargains, without the handicap of the "everything's a pound" gimmick, you just get great value for money on every individual item.This is a decent size store, with a broad range of stuff. Most of my purchases are probably from the toiletries, DIY, motoring and cleaning sections. Also pre-packed simple food items e.g. spices are exceptional value.A word of praise for the staff - I find them to be cheerful and pleasant people, one and all.Plenty of car parking here, and easy to find on the main road into Christchurch from the western (Bournemouth) direction.Update March 22 - Just want to add that the shelves are always well-stocked, as indeed they were throughout the Covid era and shortage of lorry drivers. In this sense, Home Bargains is doing a much better job than stores like Wilko who seem to have huge supply chain issues, and gaps on the shelves every time I go in.Update Jan 23 - last autumn the store expanded to take on the vacant unit next door. This has almost doubled the floor space, so the range they're able to stock now is very broad indeed.Update Nov 23 - Wilko has gone under, and hardly anything is still a pound in Poundland, but Home Bargains is flying the flag as ever. Simply a great retailer.Go here first, before looking elsewhere ...”

“Poundland shop is my favorite ?shop ..staff very helpful full and I can buy everything I like but some of artificial trees with furot on it is little expensive. But the boundary shop is the best shop.”

“Handy for odds and ends that you can't get in the major chains now they have cut back on their ranges. Staff try to help but the companies policy of delivering what they feel the store should be selling as opposed to what the stores order that they know customers want and ask for will hamper the stores profitability.”
