Allura 2 x Styling Spin Pins.

I use these & they're a godsend. I can roll the plait up into a coil, twist two spinpins in & it all stays up, solid, no fuss no hassle, all day.

A pal who's a nurse uses them under scrubs to keep her hair absolutely tamed and she has hip length hair when it's allowed out to play.

Can't speak for the spiral hair decorations, but the spinpins Work.

It's all about the nuts From Union Street, Glasgow:

Natco Honey Roasted Peanuts (with raisins, honeycomb and chocolate) 160g, Amoy Stir Fry Sauce Peanut Satay 120g/109ml.

Also saw a reappearance* of those L'Oreal lipglosses I mentioned much earlier in the thread, a few times https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/71390600#Comment_71390600 (example). I noticed a few of the same shades - not sure how old that would make the stock?

*just like the Burt's Bees lip balms that are in this Poundland and most of the local ones near me.

Edit: I've just noticed that older Poundland post of mine ^^ has the awful Caffe Italia Coffee in the photo - I used to buy it for a friend, and had never tried it. Well, I've actually tasted it now, and it is DISGUSTING. Probably the worst ground coffee ever.

It is just a matter of personal taste, I guess, unless you were particularly unlucky. My husband liked to have a strong coffee to start his day and was very pleased with the Caffe Italia I would often bring home.

I can't verify this myself as it's not mentioned on their website though just saw on HUKD that Poundland are currently selling Frank Cooper's Original Oxford marmalade. This may also be store specific.

I'm such a lemming. I picked some up in Argyle Street, Glasgow last night. Though my favourite-favourite is Rose's Lemon And Lime Marmalade

Also, thanks for the comment about the Spin Pins, DigForVictory - after seeing this video, I think even this hairdressing dunce could use them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qngf8eXsrzQ (the open end goes into your hair)

Looks idiot-proof (unfortunately I gave mine away, but I will buy some for myself later today).

Here's some more Spin Pin (p)inspiration: https://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/easy-hairstyles-with-spin-pins

Edit: About the Frank Cooper's Marmalade - xstrata on HUKD has mentioned it comes with a sticker - "Lacking In Peel And Floating Peel" and speculates that they may be Seconds (?). Mine has the sticker, too.

The last time I bought Vit C tabs (for those very rare days when fresh fruit is out of reach) they were 75p for 20 at Aldi. Even then, just 1/4 of a tablet is enough (she says in MSE way).

As for the hyaluronic acid and collagen....sorry, but these do not survive the acid in the stomach. So offer no benefit.

I saw a few new items in my Poundland in East Anglia today.

Black spray on temporary tattoos with three stencils

Disney princess hair clips

Soft or hard brush full size broom

3 pack of exfoliating mits of different sizes but seemed a bit soft

Solar changing colour bubble tube

Reeses rounds

dandy-candy

The Poundland in Finchley does white chocolate toblerone which I've only found abroad before. DH and DS are delighted!
