B&M is opening a store opposite my work...

[Thorilicious]

I may as well just ask work to pay my wages directly to them

That's the only option you have

oh, lucky you.
how i wish for a lidl near me; i've even written to them to plead for one.

Ooofff. That’s gonna be tough.

It’s a home bargains next door to my work.
I come out with all sorts of crap I don’t need.

I'm not that keen on B&M, queues are always massive and they have one till on. OTOH I should have shares in Home Bargains. I go in for Skyr and spend at least £30 every.bloody.time.

I live 2 minutes from a Lidl. I have to argue with myself daily not to go to the bakery!

Wel jel, although our local B&M is 10 minuted walk from my house 🤣

Home Bargains is in a different league to B&M, its a totally better class of crap! Who doesn't love a sparkly reindeer tablecloth and star shaped serving dishes?

My last office was next door to a home bargains, I was in multiple times a day, as were my colleagues, we spent so much money in there.

This happened to me last year.

Don't worry, the irresistible urge does wane eventually.

I used to work near a B&M. We had a ream tradition that anyone leaving would get £20 worth of the tackiest crap we could find there. One person got a padded, floral design toilet seat. Another a moving waterfall picture.

my son has a part time job at a B & M, I pick him up from work.... the stuff I buy that i never knew I needed......probably negates the board he pays me from his wage....

We have B&M, Home Bargains, Lidl and Aldi a five minute drive away. As well as the usual supermarkets and Food Warehouse. It’s a nightmare!

I was giddy with excitement when I discovered that the empty shop unit over the road was going to be a Poundland. I still haven't come to terms with it not opening up again after lockdown.
There is a Home Bargains a few doors down from it though so that softened the blow slightly.

Last time I went in for a mooch I came out with this lot
Dunelm, TK maxx are the same. Go in for nothing, come out with everything

I need travel,stuff can’t get them here. Trip to Tamworth soon I think.

Those Nairn oat biscuits are AMAZING

Now you know where you will be spending your lunch breaks….

Home bargains have a really gorgeous mirror at the moment for £6.99! I do not need a mirror but nearly bought it anyway.

I bought a star shaped dish from Home Bargains at Xmas because it was in a sale.

I’m new to Home Bargains - it’s great for toiletries and cleaning stuff, wish I’d discovered it years ago.

A Lidl opened opposite my work...after we started working from home. I've been back once to get stuff out my locker. What a waste of a Lidl!

Think yourself lucky, my old office was opposite a Whole Foods Market!

Our pampered lockdown pup has an overflowing dog toy box no thanks to B&M and coats. He had more coats than I do.

We are getting Lidl as well as B&M across from my work.
Could be worse, there might be tk maxx as well.

We buy all of our cleaning and household stuff from Home Bargains - their loo roll is cheaper and much nicer than the stuff from Tesco.

I got a load of matching photo frames from B&Ms and put a whole range of pictures in them for the walls and the fireplace. I daren't go in there too often though because I'm drawn to their twinkly lights section.
