Spend-A-Penny

This place is just huge — spanning across the space you’d expect two good shops in, it has a bewildering range of bargain priced products. I frequent quite a few bargain stores, you hafta love somewhere you can wander around and come out with a handful of junk you almost need in return for the handful of loose change you had in your pocket at the time — the really nice thing about Spend-​A-​Penny is that you’ll sometimes find stuff that you DO need, you just didn’t know about.
Case in point, it was here I found one of the most useful objects I have in my kitchen — a shot glass with graduated measurements all around the sides, for ml’s, teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces, etc — it is absolutely invaluable when cooking, and it cost me two bucks… *win*
They also showed some initiative over the Christmas period, having signs up to advise people they were open from 9am-​12pm on Christmas day. I don’t know how that went for them, but I did make a mental note in case I needed a tray for the webber or any other potentially disasterous situation popped up on the day. Could also have been handy for someone who REALLY likes leaving the Christmas shopping till the last minute. :)
