Poundland Bargain Thread -

LouLou

They're talking about these on HUKD today - 6 x 330ml Schweppes Grapefruit & Blood Orange cans, which is a bargain.

These will fly off the shelves (mind you, typically for Glasgow, today it's raining)

Was looking for some cooking oils yesterday - saw my local Poundland has "Ibero" Grapeseed Oil in 250ml and Ibero Salad Oil - Virgin Olive Oil/Sunflower Oil 500ml in Trongate, Glasgow.

Not sure what Grapeseed Oil is like (seen it mentioned more on skincare forums!) but thought I'd give it a try.

I thought of all my Poundland thread gals today as I wore the Pretty Polly undewear today under a jersey dress. It was their first outing. They were the nude coloured shorts. They were fairly comfortable and not restrictive. Looked nice and smooth on the tummy area. Thumbs up from me!

My local Coop is selling off full size bottles of this (and all other flavours) for 75p for 750ml. The ingredients are horrible, you wouldn't catch me drinking the stuff!

Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Fruit Juices from Concentrate 7.9% (Grapefruit 4.9%, Orange 2%, Lemon 1%), Sugar, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Vegetable and Plant Concentrates (Carrot, Safflower), Stabilisers (Acacia Gum, Glycerol Esters of Wood Rosins), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides), Natural Citrus Flavourings with other Natural Flavourings.

A few on the HUKD thread said similar - thought it might be similar to San Pellegrino, maybe not!

I'm one of those weird people that prefers tea and coffee every time - barely ever drink fizzy pop, unless it's in alcohol!

I really like mine and my mum made me go back to get her more, a few months back.

They're easy to get on and off for a pee, which is a bonus! Worn them on a few nights out and they're comfortable and unobtrusive.

I found some Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in the Glasgow Sauchiehall Street store today. The colour is Calla Lily, it's a rose pink. Feels and looks good on. I bought 2 and then picked up some more in Argyle Street, though they didn't have as many in stock. A great bargain.

Hastily making up a beauty bundle for my sister's birthday From Argyle Street, Glasgow, a few hours ago:

Vaseline Intensive Care, Advanced Repair, Fragrance Free, 200ml (cheapest I can see it is on offer at Superdrug for £1.69 http://www.superdrug.com/Vaseline/Vaseline-Intensive-Care-Advanced-Repair-Lotion-200ml/p/320704 usually around £3.)

Beautifully Scrumptious Deep Moisturising Foot Pack, Tea Tree & Peppermint (seems to be booties, you wear them for 20 minutes). Also in Honey & Almond, Moroccan Argan Oil Extract or Deep Moisturising Macadamia varieties.

L'Action "Lifting" Mud Face Mask With Essential Oils 15g.

Fing'rs Prints Girlie Glam, 31039 Sweet Sihouette, Press-On Nails With Charms (wear up to a week, easy off, 24 nails in 12 sizes, 2 charms with 6 adhesive tabs).

Lots of NYC eyeshadows (mini palettes or in stick form), eyeliner pencils (be aware the Showtime range has flecks of glitter in it), and I picked up an NYC BB Beautifying Blushable Cream Stick in 002 Never Sleeping Pink.

Also got a twin pack of Gift Bags with tags, one large, one medium, you can see the love heart design bag at the top of the photo. The smaller Gift Bag says "Especially For You" in Pink.

Here's a review of the NYC Blush Stick (sorry I mucked up the lighting on the photo, but you'll get a better look at it here) http://www.budgetbeautyblog.com/2015/03/nyc-cosmetics-beautyifying-blushable-bb-cream-stick-soho-pink-never-sleeping-pink-swatches.html

Post #6862- bin was emptied today after 2 weeks. I only needed to add a little new powder, much less than I was expecting. Bin still smelt pretty good. Really impressed.

Did you know that Bicarbonate of soda will do the exact same thing? You can buy a box for £1 in Home Bargains or Savers. You'd only need to add a small amount. No nasty chemicals, completely safe and natural.

I can vouch for this stuff making feet feel fabulous - a worthy investment of 20 minutes while you do almost anything else. I must resupply, as both Scout camp & Prom season coming up. The younglings want to look amazing in strappy sandalled heels & haven't put the time & prep in. My incredible fellow Scout leaders are nearly out cold on their feet so a thankyou half hour of the circulating teapot & these applied to any foot without blisters acts impressively inside & out!
