Clearout

No, I’m not making this up. The Kings Heath High Street area has some fairly unimaginatively named shops (‘Spoils Contemporary Living Clearance Store’ springs to mind), but, for my money, Clearout takes the prize. I know it’s very tempting to be turned off even setting foot in the shop on the basis of the name alone (I mean, who wants to say that they buy their clothes from Clearout? It doesn’t exactly scream prestige and class, does it?). To be fair, it’s certainly an accurate name, as the prices are incredible low, with a probably average of around £4 for every item in the shop, which is some achievement. It’s not the most well organised shop, but then I doubt many will go in expected displays reminiscent of Parisian boutiques. I’d recommend going in and having a quick browse to see if you can sniff out a bargain, but there are alternatives that are still relatively cheap but much more organised (Peacocks and Store Twenty One) nearby.
