    I can't post pictures but I saw yesterday in Poundland Woolwich they had a range of containers which looked very similar in style to the Sistema ranges both Waitrose/John Lewis and Sainsburys sell. I had been waiting for either of those two to reduce their ranges as they are for example, charging £6 for a soup cup.


    In Poundland the range looks identical- even has identical colours but the writing detailing on the sticker is written in a different language. They appear to be the same size throughout the range and have the same microwave safe icon and steam or air vents.


    Sorry I can't post pictures- when I've tried I get a little boxed-cross and no picture but I'd imagine these are available in many different stores.

    From Argyle Street, Glasgow. Some Disney girls' briefs, these are Age 6-7 but I think the smallest size is Age 2-3. All sizes in between available, plenty there. Not sure what the quality is like with these?

    Also Disney Princess Slipper Socks (think this is Rapunzel, I'm not good with Disney Princesses!).

    And a Mini Ladybird book, "Mad About...Costume And Fashion".

    Oh and just remembered, they have Garnier Fructis Men's Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (turquoise bottles), 250ml, in three varieties, Strength Boost is one https://www.onlinepoundstore.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/double.jpg

    Thanks for this popped into woolwich and picked one up, the steam vent is quite flimsy compared to the sistema but worth a try.

    Ah- I'd never tried them side by side (the Sistema versions were out of my budget) so maybe not an exact dupe- have not tried them myself yet, am planning on making a batch of soup this evening and freezing to see how they go, hope it all works out ok for you too though

    If they are similar to the ones Home Bargains had a while back at 75p a throw, they are great and really work well. Large red plastic mug with handle and sturdy clip on lid.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • Found a new batch of 250ml Dove Winter Care Body Lotion. These were in stores a good few months ago but this one is a different colour. When I got it home I compared it with the ones I got a few months back and the wording is the same (though in another language) so may not be a different variety, just a different design.

    Still, it's nice stuff!

    They also had 300g bags of Kettle Chips, which I think is twice the size of the usual 'sharing bag' size.

    Also, they had some new bulbs in: tulips, crocus, snowdrops and daffodils.
