No Frills Newport used to be a shop for many bargains and I have spent a lot of money over the years there.
Unfortunately since christmas they have revamped the shop to take all the left overs from the Focus shops in and around Newport including the West Country.
I now call it the Zombie store as you will find many people walking around aimlessly looking for something to buy, many items of which are now far more expensive than before the store was revamped!!

Scruffy shop, dated in appearance and prices quite high in comparison to the likes of Wilkinsons etc... Poor choice of products quite randomly scattered around, staff few and far between, often untrained and uninterested. Other reviews for these stores are puzzlingly different to my experience?!

First of all - knowledgeable staff? It very much depends on who you get to ask.
Yes, many items without prices. Fairly scruffy shop, items often poorly stacked, presented, and often the cheap non-quality stuff.
Items can come from bankrupt suppliers, shops and manufacturers, which is fine, but for some items this has warranty implications, as you'll struggle to get repairs or a replacement. They don't tell you when buying, but push for something a little more major that isn't in your store - kitchen sinks, taps for example.
My summary. Buy from No Frills DIY by all accounts, but it may come back to haunt you with some items if you encounter problems. The people in my experience are always nice.
