Home Bargains is opening a set of bakeries across the UK that will sell a variety of pastries, bread and desserts. On Tuesday, July 11, we went to Home Bargains in Pentrebach Retail Park, Merthyr Tydfil, to try items from their already existing bakery.
The bargain retailer is known for selling inexpensive groceries, toys, homeware, gardening, beauty products and now bakery goods. Like other supermarkets - such as Lidl, Aldi, Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's - and bakeries -like Greggs - you can purchase sausage rolls, breakfast pastries, desserts, rolls and baguettes but for a fraction of a price.
Customers can purchase five small sausage rolls for £1.09, baguettes for 75p, cinnamon whirls for 55p, two vanilla crowns for 79p, cheese twist for 59p, croissants for £1.25, ten mini doughnuts (chocolate covered or filled with jam) for £1, or a pack of four doughnuts for just 99p. Although the selection of items is smaller than other retailers - especially Lidl which is renowned for its bakery - there's no denying its great value for money.
