    Poundland sell foil balloons and fill them, for a further pound. Unfortunately all but the 18s and 21s were out of stock (looked in 2 branches).

    Luckily Cardfair does slightly smaller ones - albeit plain foil ones - for £1.49, which I supplemented with a Peppa Pig one for £2.49. Our 2 yo LO played happily with them this afternoon :)

    Found the Fox's biscuits in Sauchiehall Street! The date on these is 25/11/17.

    Edit: Also, these are on "special offer" from £4 to £2 at Tesco currently https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/default.aspx?id=289969252 (have to copy/paste the linky, at least on the device I'm using).
    One Amazon review complains about there only being 19 biscuits in the pack (though they paid much more) but for £1 it's still a steal.

    Store-specific but there's a 50p section of randomness in Poundland, Sauchiehall Street, near the self-service section.

    Got my niece a few Turtle Wax items (in tubes, not bottles) Perfect Finish Scratch Remover (in different colours) http://www.turtlewax.co.uk/images/default-source/default-album/_0005_turtle-wax---scratch-remover-fg7288.png?sfvrsn=0 (got my niece Red, but think the other ones were Black?) and Perfect Finish Protect & Shine (didn't seem to be the interior version I can see online - this was for after shampooing the car).

    Also lots of the Keyboard Magnets packs I bought from Poundland eons ago https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0899/2174/products/monster-factory-firdge-magnets-keyboard.jpg?v=1488285276

    Many 2017 annuals, some books.

    Will try to take a photo next time I pass - we were in a hurry! Trying to wrack my brains thinking what else was there - will have to ask her (cloudy brain!).

    Edit: Seems they add extra bits to this 50p section - a variety of Hello Kitty Wall Stickers last time I was there. And St Patrick's Day face paints!

    Argyle Street also has a 50p random clearance section of socks and other odds and sods.

    First visit to a Poundland in ages (Bishop Auckland Retail Park) I spotted espresso and lungo Nespresso compatible capsules - not seen before. Not a brand name (Cafe Deli). Will report on taste and performance.

    Edit: Also spotted 6 pack of Worcester Sauce flavour Walkers French Fries. Have never seen these before - snaffled!

    Following on from the above, I have now tried the lungo coffee capsules (Caffe Deli with 2 fs, looking at the capsule packet rather than my receipt).
    The good news is the capsules work really well, no jamming, a good delivery without spluttering and a good crema.

    I found the flavour of the lungo to be quite weak, but there again, I didn't have huge expectations. These capsules are only 10p each after all. If you have somebody in your house (or a guest) who doesn't like strong coffee, they should love these.

    Mine won't be wasted, I will be using them for mocha coffees with some drinking chocolate mix.
