The Arnold discount shop that's a little different to the big stores like B&M

Now more than ever, people want to find as many bargains as they can. With shops such as ASDA and Aldi bringing out ranges to help people in the cost of living crisis, there are also independent local stores with a range of bargains.

On Arnold’s front street, shoppers will find K&A Bargains. With bargain store Stock Monster just feet away from the store, there's plenty of choice locally. We visited to see what bargains we could find. Keimae Blake reports…

K&A Bargains store stocks those random bits and bobs perfect for occasions or if you’ve missed something off your shopping list - and unless price marked, everything in there is £1.

Walking into the shop, it was fairly quiet, with an employee sitting behind the till and only two people walking around the store, browsing. Unlike stores such as B&M, in this local businesses, there weren’t many big brands seen but especially now, with inflation if you’re possibly looking for new alternatives, this could be the store for you.

This bargain store sells stationery including Bingo pens, plug sockets, screws and other DIY essentials. For teachers especially, it might be worth popping in as there is a deal on two packs of stickers for a £1 perfect for when marking books. With many cleaning products and storage items on the shelves, there's also a small number of household essentials such as tea and coffee. To keep children creative, there are colourful neon paints on the shelves, perfect for a weekend activity.

In such a small space, this store seems to have a little bit of everything. It's the little things really that you don't always think of keeping a spare of, like a light switch for £1.20 or a refrigerator deodoriser to keep your fridge smelling fresh for £2. For the household items that we need to stock up on most of the time or the things that just come in handy every now and again, K&A Bargains has it all.
