I visited the huge new shopping outlet - and was amazed at what I could get for £3

There isn't much I love more than a bargain. You're either one of those people that prefer to mad dash and can't wait to get out of the shops, or you love a long and considered browse and are obsessed with Aldi's middle aisle of goodies.

Myself, I am sorry to say, am the latter. It's why I love the likes of Home Bargains and TK Maxx - a haven where I find myself scouring the shelves and end up picking up random items I never knew I needed or wanted.

That's why I was thrilled when the Trade Outlet announced they were opening a new warehouse store in Greater Manchester earlier this week.

It is the second to open its doors in the region, along with a shop in Ashton-in-Makerfield. If you haven't heard of it, you may have been living under a rock.
