Poundland Bargain Thread -

Hi did a search but couldn't see this mentioned. I got a herbal essences seductively straight intensive hair mask today (they are around £4 in tesco boots etc) It is from Italy/Greece I think but there is an English label on the pack too. I got it in Manchester Arndale if anyone is popping there and is interested.

Saw Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash mascara today.

Our local has wool in lots of colours including metallics (3 for £2) had it for ages.

Big pouches of Ice Age 4 Frozen berry hair & body wash - smells quite nice - the kids should like it.

Small bottles of Covonia chesty cough medicine, among other brands.
(but cough sweets were 2 for a quid where as they're only 80p in both Tesco & Asda at the mo).

Noticed some Toy Story keyrings in the toy section that looked worth a quid and a selection of Fireman Sam playdough with a toy on each tub e.g extruder & roller cutters.

Loads of books in at the mo (including classic kids titles), but I didn't have time to look through them.

Easter stuff on the shelves.

Jamaica Ginger cake bars 5 pack - 2 for £1 my mum got them, but I don't think I'd like my Jamaica Ginger cake chocolate coated.

The wool had some metallic through it. Can I ask, is your local in the UK mainland?

I reside in Northern Ireland and I would be interested to know if anyone finds the metallic wool in a Northern Ireland branch.

There had been white wool in Poundland at a £1 a ball or buy three balls for the price of two but when I went back to get the wool there was none left. I cannot see it online. Does anyone know if it is available anywhere as I have looked two other Poundland stores and neither stocked wool?

They had some in york coney street today

Put in context it's worth a try - even if you don't get on with it (unlikely) you can use it for the next Clinique mascara swap! On principle I never throw away used mascaras, finished lipsticks and empty bottles of foundation, just in case. Then when the time comes I can share the love, it's not just me that benefits!

Well, the last Collection 2000 mascara I got from Poundland - Skyscraper it was called - has been the best mascara I've had in years!

Still worth hanging onto when it's dead though, in anticpation of the inevitable swapsicle at the Clinique counter! 2 mascaras (okay one's a mini) fore £1 is a bargain :T

MSE is turning me into a right old skinflint.....but a proud one!

Bottled water which they used to sell in six packs for a pound now comes in a twelve pack for the same price. Heavy to carry mind you.
