What Are Discount Shops?

Discount shops sell products at prices intended to offer value compared with many conventional retailers. Their ranges can include everyday necessities as well as seasonal products, household goods, clothing, food, toys and other items.

The discount sector includes different types of retailers. Some shops concentrate on low-priced everyday products, while others use an off-price model based on changing stock, excess inventory, branded goods or seasonal merchandise.

What Can You Buy at Discount Shops?

Product ranges vary between retailers, but common categories include food and drink, household cleaning products, toiletries, health and beauty items, clothing, toys, stationery, homeware, garden products, DIY supplies, pet products and seasonal goods.

Some discount retailers specialise in particular areas. For example, health and beauty discounters may concentrate on toiletries and personal care, while off-price fashion retailers focus more heavily on clothing, footwear, accessories and home products.

Discount Supermarkets and Food Shops

Discount food retailers are an important part of the UK grocery market. Aldi and Lidl are examples of discount supermarkets, while other retailers such as Home Bargains, B&M and Poundland sell food alongside household and general merchandise.

For a broader selection of supermarkets and food retailers, see the Supermarkets & Food Shops category.

Shopping at Discount Shops

Discount retailers often have changing product ranges, so stock can vary from one visit to another. This can be useful when looking for seasonal goods, household bargains or products that are not part of a permanent range.

When comparing products, check pack sizes, specifications and prices rather than assuming that a lower ticket price represents the best value. For branded products, it can also be useful to compare prices with other retailers.

Product ranges, prices, availability and delivery options can change, so check the retailer's website or local store information for the latest details before making a purchase.
