Poundland Bargain Thread -

Got myself one of the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure varnishes, as mentioned earlier, today. It's a pale mint colour similar to MUA's Pistachio varnish: http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/nail-varnish-pistachio-icecream

Edit: Found it, the Sally Hansen one is called Green Tea (edit, as it says on the bottle, d'oh): http://m2.paperblog.com/i/119/1191579/complete-salon-manicure-416-green-tea-sally-h-L-hh1tVR.jpeg I was planning on picking up the £1 MUA one but the Sally Hansen one has much more in a bottle!

And I got my dad a black polycarbonate Belkin iPhone 4S cover, Meta 030. There's a metal plate detail at the bottom which isn't very apparent in the picture:
(Argyle Street, Glasgow).

Got a lovely 50's pin up style set today containing tweezers, compact mirror (although that is plain black) and the cutest pack of matchbox nail files. (the pin up picture is on the nail files as well as the packet!) Well worth £1.

They have lots of different celebrity workout DVDs in at the moment and slim fast milkshakes too.

Large bags of Phileas Fogg crisps too.

How do you count your 10 items?

I have been filling a wheelie cart with a few items, then almost go out the shop front entrance to get another cart (leave the cart with items so as not to look like a shoplifter!).

Then i count the items by moving items from one cart to another.

Then i go around the shop with 2 carts. Then i put in a few more items and count again. Too convoluted?

pick shampoo off shelf - count "1".
pick showgel off shelf - count "2"
....................continue until i get to" 10"

or is that too easy??

guess you could make a tally on a bit of paper.

Oh, forgot to say yesterday, I also got one of those Mushroom Grow Kits I mentioned previously.

And Durex Play Pina Colada lubricant (they also sell Durex "Regular" condoms, whatever they may be, vibrating rings (!!) etc). Both from Argyle Street, Glasgow, Poundland.

First found out about both items thanks to Hotukdeals, though the lubricant thread predictably brought out all the idiots

I saw that Durex Pina Colada lubricant in the Luton Branch too, it said expiry date 03/2013, I'm not an expert so I don't know how quick lubricant can go 'bad' lol. If you're worried about best before dates then you've got to use it up in the next 2 months!:rotfl:

I bought a pack of Scholl Leather Heel liners last week in the Luton store, they are these ones but with English packaging. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scholl-997205-Heel-Leather-Liners/dp/B001DZPV32

Plus Alpen 5 pack cereal bars and Multipack of 5 Kettle Chips ( Balsamic Vinegar flavour)

The Piña Colada is rather nice! Didn't see any in my local.

Got the Sally Hansen polish, thanks for the tip off. No Slim Fast though and forgot to look for the iPhone case. Will look again Weds.

Not sure if its been mentioned already but they had the Thorntons caramel parcels on two bags for £1. My bf likes these so picked up a couple. Good til September.
