Costcutter

I lived down the road from this Costcutter and frequented it quite a lot even though it was a little (read VERY) expensive. I went out of convenience than anything else and i mainly went in my pyjamas. Shemeful i know, but it was just a minute up the road and was open quite late so was perfect for mid-​evening snacking and alst-​minute alcohol buys. There was a small freezer section where they sold pizzas, chips and icecream. There was a decent wine and spirit section which sometimes had good deals on, such as 2 bottles for £8.

Costcutter, for me, is one of those names like Thunder Cats or Nike Air; memories from a time gone by, that still make the occasional appearance. It was the days of Safeway and Happy Shopper when these red and green Christmas-​themed cost-​cutting champs were about.
Truth be told I’ve never really enjoyed the Costcutter experience. Admittedly there’s quite often some pretty good deals on lager and crisps but the main meals and healthy foods are often left out. This Costcutter on Coldharbour Road is no exception, leaving the fresh fruit and veg to someone else and concentrating on the magazines, sweets and chocolate.
Perhaps then this is what the people of Westbury Park want, perhaps then Costcutter are doing their job just fine. It is after all a newsagent.
If it’s a general newsagent you want with the occasional cost cut, go to Costcutters!
