... TK Maxx, home of chav couture and a the occasional clothing bargain.

I was very surprised when I went into a corner of the store and found a fairly well-stocked kitchenware section. Most of it was good name brands (Stellar, Bodum etc.), just imported from Germany.

Loads of knives and silicon cookware, fancy Bodum cafetieres for under a tenner... the list goes on. Worth a look if you're near one!
