Shopping in Sheffield

SHOPPING SHOPPING & SHOPPING  

Shopping is F-U-N !

I know I have been shop quite a lot :)

UK is considered as a shopping heaven where you can get apparels, bags, footwear from various brands such as Primark, H&M, Next, Republic, River Island and many more at reasonable price !!
I could say that it is very affordable for students like us !
Sounds exciting right?

The designs of the clothes of most of the brands change every fortnight and they are extremely cheap during summer sales !
You can get a dress or tops from H&M, Primark at a price as low as £3 !!!!!

Furthermore, you can shop online here !
It is so easy to go online shopping in UK..
What you need is internet connection and debit card :)
The goods are in good condition and same as what it described in the website !

 City Centre's Shopping District/Meadowhall  

In Sheffield, we normally do our shopping at either city centre's shopping district (5-10mins walk from university city campus) or Meadowhall Shopping Complex which is located about 5km from the city centre (accessible by train or tram)
The train ticket to Meadowhall and back to Sheffield cost £2.50 during off peak season.

Meadowhall is one of the largest stand alone shopping malls in Europe, with over 280 stores which includes H&M, Primark, Clark, FCUK, Republic, River Island and many more !!!
It is much bigger than Pavilion, One Utama or Midvalley in KL !
