Poundland Bargain Thread -

I think i saw some in poundland watford, but I didnt think much of them either - too small and as mentioned above, not very convincing.

I got some from Wilkos when they were on buy 2, get 3rd free. Not sure how often they run that promotion and works out a little more expensive than poundland, but they do look a whole lot better.

HTH

*debbie*

I too am looking for some artificial flowers or grasses and didn't realise Wilkinson sold them. A quick look on their website shows they are £1. 50 each or 3 for £3.

PoundWorld Crawley - my favourites from yesterday's visit were bike lights (so cheaper than the Aldi cheap bike day) and hair dye.

Thanks for the info...always wanted to find out what these £1 shops hair dyes are like...is it any good?? I picked up a box once and noted that it comes without the conditioner, hence why I thought they were dirt cheap at that price, and how long does it take for the colour to fade??

Info appreciated, thank you:)

P.S is that the £1 shop opposite Wilkinsons? or in the square?

In the square, not far from M&S. It is huge (double width and double depth) and there is always a bargain to be found. I always try to drop by if I am passing through.

PS Asda charges for its car park now!

have seen good fake flowers in banardos charity shops before, kills 2 birds with 1 stone, you get your flowers and the charity gets some money

Yes I was thinking of going to the charity shops. I went to wilkinsons for my first lot, going to wait for an offer for the second lot. They are to make flower arrangements for my nannas grave as she passed away recently so if anyone has any they no longer need, i'm here *waves*

Earlier in the thread there were a few trying the "Mellor And Russell" wacky colours ones, I'll have a look and paste what I find.

With boyf, I've tried the red/silver packaging ladies' hair dye..Dark Brown was a bit disastrous as it was too dark, too black and looked fake.

Light Brown was much better. They now do a blue, green or yellow packaged "Men's hair dye" version which, if I remember right, has a shorter development time. I've bought him the Light Brown (blue pack) version a few times and he's dead pleased with it!

Here's some. Most people seem to rate the hair dyes, though you may need Crazy Colour for more vibrant hues.

Also, not quite Poundland-related but poundshop-related. I've tried searching for this on MSE Forums and can't see any sign of it; it was in the MSE email last night.

http://www.hereforapound.com/ "Spend £10, get free delivery (usually £3.50 under £15 spend) and an extra £1 item free" (with code via the link below).

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post codes (even MSE-generated ones) outside of the Discount Codes thread, so I'll post a link with details: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/bargains-deals-discounts#deal31956

The Organic Surge items seem great and there's tubs of Andrew Barton hair masks that look good, as examples.

Happy shopping
