Poundland-related, this popped up on my FB Feed. Not wishing to offend anyone, but this made me raise an eyebrow. Personally, I think it's open to interpretation.

Unfortunately, like it or not, OMG is an acronym that's entered everyday language, especially online and amongst younger ones, so she must be "triggered" quite often...

But he says the bargain end of the discount market is brutal. 'It's about being prepared to have a fight with someone in a car park over £5.'

If this is the mentality behind the brand, I'll gladly give it a miss

Argyle Street, Glasgow Poundland earlier:
Nailene Bacteria-Free Nail Glue For Sensitive Nails, 3g

Also, this store has the bath mats (to go with the pedestal mats I saw in Sauchiehall Street the other week!) - Black, White and Beige.

Argyle Street has had Pep & Co in store for a few weeks now - must admit I have only had a casual browse. Too addicted to everything5pounds.com!!

Think everything5pounds.com is going to be my new addiction thanks to a code from this site!!
Never shopped on there before but after getting 7 shirts and a fleece for £35 with the MSE code, i keep having a look to see what else I fancy!

Some plastic storage baskets from Trongate, Glasgow not long ago (Sauchiehall Street had them too about a fortnight ago, unfortunately I couldn't purchase as I was going to the cinema!!).

In Black, White or Grey, there's a shallower size but went for the bigger option - 10" x 7.5" x 4" (L x W x H).

I went in my local Poundland this weekend to get a stock of roasting bags and the woman in front of me spent £31 on nail varnish. 31 bottles at £1 each.

ebay re-seller is my guess.

Shame as it spoils it for the rest of us who would like a bargain. They should have a limit of 5 maximum of each item.
