ONE lucky shopper bagged a haul worth £300 for just a FIVER at Britain’s cheapest shop where everything is 20p.

Steve Nelson, 62, launched The 20p Shop in Otley, West Yorkshire, around five years ago – and it has soared in popularity ever since.

Shop assistant Sue McKie, 53, showed off one basket of 25 goodies costing just £5 – including phone cases, headphones and cosmetics.

If she shopped with high-street shops or online giants, Sue’s haul could have cost her up to £296.41.

Sue spent 20p on a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star musical book in The 20p Shop. If she bought a similar book on Amazon, she could have forked out £11.69.

And Sue spent just 20p on two phone cases. If she had bought Apple-branded cases, she could have been down a whopping £98.

Sue said: “There are always bargains galore in here and I love it.

“We run a jewellers in the town, but I spend more time in here as it is busy and the regular customers are brilliant.

“People come in two or three times a day as the stock is always changing.

“You’ve picked up hand sanitizer that was being sold for £4.99 and that Monkey birthday card has a £1.50 stocker on it.”

Founder Steve said: “Everything in the shop is 20p – it’s a level playing field.

“We were originally market traders, so know everyone loves a bargain.

“With all the Pound Shops opening up and some selling stuff for more than a quid – I thought why not a 20p shop?

“With the cost of living crisis ongoing, we are aiming to get in more products to help people with their food budgets.

“The packets of crisps always fly off the shelves when they come in.

“We do really well with the cards, as they go for pounds elsewhere and we buy in bulk to get the prices.

“We get bankrupt stock and all kinds of stuff that we can then sell for 20p.”
