Currys & Argos
Currys and Argos are great for tech goods, especially Currys.
Always keep an eye out for any sales they may haven because you can grab a bargain. We’ve got a fridge, built in oven and hob from there at an amazing price.
Another tip, is to not always go for the name brands, sometimes the home brands look and do just as good a job for a fraction of the price.
Other great stores!
I can’t finish this post without mentioning a few other stores where you can find good quality items (and some quirky) for a decent price.
John Lewis and Primark are good places to start. I had a few vouchers for John Lewis and was pleasantly surprised with the items they had in store and the price.
Again, I opted for the home brands which work just as well but for a lower price.
Primark has also stepped it up when it comes to their homewares. Decorative items and soft furnishings, you can find some very stylish bits in there.
Another store worthy of a mention is Tiger Stores. I don’t believe this store is very well known, but, if you have come across it, they do have some quirky and interesting items.
If you do ever pass by one, go in and have a look around you may be surprised with what you will find.
Last but not least, ASOS have recently launched a homeware section! But I must warn you, once you take a look you will want to buy everything.
#Tip 4 is to shop around, don’t just buy everything from one shop. You probably can find the same thing, or similar somewhere else for less money.

What stores do you like to shop in for homewares? Let me know in the comments!
