| - Every night, as I drift off to sleep, I like to say a little thank you to Homesense. Well, actually I don't. But I should, considering all my sheets, duvet covers and comforters come from there.
Homesense is basically the nice homewares bit of Winners made into a shop and I love it. Sheets here are affordable and if you're lucky you can get great bargains on high thread count stuff. Egyptian cotton-mmmm. The actual stock can be a bit random, but if you potter in every now and again you'll pick up some great stuff. They have pretty much everything for the home-kitchen things, towels, bedding, lamps, some furniture, storage and even random foods and coffees. It's extremely hard to leave the place without buying something-particularly when there is also a cosmetics section.
It's not dirt cheap sometimes, but there are definitely bargains to be found. Staff are generally pretty nice and often incredibly nice. Lines can be long-a mixture of limited number of staff on registers and the tendency for people to buy awkwardly sized objects that take a while to scan. I've also failed to find a price/barcode on items on a number of occasions which tends to slow things down too. Minus one star for that. I'm still grateful for Homesense though. I have lights, shampoo and sheets thanks to them. The simple things in life do matter!
