Do you shop at primark?

[Nat123xxx]

I just find things shrink/everyone has the same thing but can't help browsing.

No, I'd rather spend more and have less. To me it's a false economy.

Not atm as live abroad but am coming back to the UK next year. Planning on buying some kids clothes, if the quality is there.

Last time I lived in the UK (9 years ago) primark was OK quality, for the price.

Yes, for men's t-shirts, shirts and jeans, and casual joggers/shorts. They've been really good for 16 year old DS, but the hoodies don't wash so well.
However last years navy cord trousers have retained their colour and shape really well.

No. The shop stinks of cheap dye.

I do now and then.

I sometimes buy socks and the odd t-shirt there but by and large it's a shop I dodge. So much polyester!

Men's and kids' clothes are OK, women's are awful.

Yes. For the basics almost always and every so often I find something unexpectedly lovely in a nice fabric. And tbh, I don't see an awful lot of difference in quality between them and shops that many others are very positive about- certainly nothing I've bought from Sainsbury's has lasted any better.

Yes I do. Some of my nicest and longest lasting garments have come from there, as well as a few that were not so good I admit. I find the quality ten times better than h&m and also M&S actually!

Yes but only in the sales. I find their normal prices expensive for the quality. I have no issues with shrinkage though and I have some items bought dirt-cheap on sale which have lasted years.

Socks, pants and pyjamas only. Everything else feels a bit thin and cheap.

DS1 loves their Harry Potter range at the minute, though, so we do buy bits for him occasionally.

Yes though not for a while. Usually for summer stuff that is very fashionable that I know won't last beyond a season. I then recycle to charity.

Having said that? I have bought some tees that have lasted years.

Yes. For work clothes (they may get ruined by working with children) and for summer t-shirts.

I don't expect anything to last more than a season.

I also buy some everyday kids' stuff there.

I buy knickers and vests from there - sometimes pjs too. I have to psyche myself up to go in there though, it feels like a jumble sale where I might get stabbed (might just be my local area though!)

I'll buy jeans in there, especially for the DC who go through the knees no matter how much I spend. Also pick up pants, fleece pjs etc. I only wear primark pants myself as haven't found any others in the style I like without spending 3x as much.

Tops, dresses etc I buy elsewhere. Usually stick to supermarkets tbh.

There isn't one anywhere near me, so I don't ever shop there. I've been into one once, but didn't see anything I would buy. Too much flammable material for my liking.

I like most things I buy to be cheap, but generally get things second hand rather than throwaway stuff off the high street.

I bought some gorgeous thin winter knits last year, that look expensive. I bought a jumper from Mint Velvet and it looks like a dish cloth in comparison to the Primark stuff.

I am more of a Zara girl these days.

For ds, yes. Jeans and T-shirts are incredible value and wash well and the gym gear in great too. Make up only for me.

Pyjamas are good
Cotton/lycra long sleeve baselayer t shirts are a staple
Otherwise no.....

I lied, I've bought socks and pants in there for me, my husband and son!

I try not to as I hate the "wear it two times and bin it" mentality. So wasteful.

I get the cami vests for about £1.50 in there which last years and nearly always wear one under my clothes apart from the height of summer. The fabric is thin but I don't see how that's false economy for that particular item as I wouldn't want thicker material for vests.

Yes t shirts , opaque tights, thongs and jumpers - cheap as chips and wash well in my opinion

Some of my primark things have lasted ages e.g. ive had a pair of jeans for 10 years from there.

I get pyjamas there, socks & I swear by their tights (so much cheaper, nicer, longer lasting than M&S or other places)

But I think 90% of it is cheap stuff that you go through quickly to avoid outfit repeating on social media. So not my thing.
