I bought a "photo and paper trimmer" which has a board and a ruler to help me cut in staright lines! Not sure how good it will be for a pound but thought it was worth a go.

Beechams flu tablets £1 for 8

The packs of 16 are about £3.84 in Boots so the same number of tablets in Poundland is only £2 - I wish I had bought more as we are both full of flu in this house and have used them all already

I know this is the Poundland thread but here is what I posted recently about cold/flu products:
I was recently looking for a cold relief, I was in Home Bargains and I was comparing products:

Beechams Flu Plus Caplets: Paracetamol 500 mg, Caffeine 25 mg and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5 mg £1.49 for 16 caplets

Beechams Active Cold Relief: Paracetamol 500 mg, Caffeine 25 mg and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5 mg 99p for 14 tablets

I am no pharmacist so I may be wrong, but both products seem the same to me, except obviously for the price, worth checking the next time your stocking the medicine cabinet.

Aw lucky you - we don't have a Home Bargains here. I wish we did now though

I found the Reader's Digest collection of books good value

In Taunton on Saturday I purchased a shower mat in a pebble style. I brought the clear version but they had many colours. I nearly brought the same thing in B&Q and Sainsbury's for £12!
