No perfumes (looked in Trongate and Argyle Street, Glasgow, stores) but I did buy:
Trongate store: L'Oreal Skin Perfection Nourishing Cleansing Wipes - 25 x Face & Eyes Dry & Sensitive Skin Wipes.
Argyle Street store: Toni & Guy Radiating Tropical Elixir 50ml (mentioned earlier in the thread), McVities Hob Nobs Jumbo Pack 431g (mentioned on HUKD a few weeks ago but never noticed them till now), Heinz Creationz Mexican Beanz (Pinto & Haricot Beans With Tomato, Chilli, Coriander & Lime) 390g, Wotsits 126g (100% Extra Free)*.
*Can see this size of Wotsits cheaper elsewhere, bit of a swizz. Eg, Poundstretcher, 69p https://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/walkers-wotsits-126g

They were on the Mother's Day gifts display at the front of the store, not with the other creams etc.0

I did get hold of some of this stuff, and have now tried it. Mindful of the reviews and the tiny quantity in the container, I used it sparingly. Its okay, but I much prefer the Stila dry powder shampoo (last seen in Poundland circa 2012, but lasts a long time!). It will go in my travel bag, but I can't see myself buying it again.

Kudos to ssouthwell17 from HUKD: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/2-x-dolmio-bolognese-1-poundland-2904178
2 x 500g Jars of Dolmio Bolognese Original, £1. Got some from Trongate, Glasgow about half an hour ago - plenty in a big box, at an end aisle, near the Self-Service tills.
Another HUKDer (baybeegurl) says there are L'Oreal Wrinkle Expert Jars 50ml (for 35+ Collagen and 55+ Calcium varieties - not sure if the 45+ Retino-Peptides one is available, too) for £2 in Poundland, assume it's National (haven't spotted this yet) https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/l-oreal-anti-wrinkle-over-55s-usually-10-now-2-poundland-beaumont-leys-leicester-2905062
£9.99 at Superdrug currently.
Cheapest I see them online is at Wilko for £5, better in store, think their postage is quite steep: http://www.wilko.com/search?q=l%27oreal+paris+wrinkle+expert0 -
Need to sort my wrinkles out so will try this L'Oreal deal if I see it in my local, thanks.0

Since the Garnier Micellar water shrunk from 125ml to 100ml I picked up the Derma V10 which is 200ml.
Maybe I just got used to the Garnier but it stinks!
I'm going to persist but if in a week I still think it's smelly I'm going back to Garnier.0 -
You just made me dig out my bottle to have a sniff!Since the Garnier Micellar water shrunk from 125ml to 100ml I picked up the Derma V10 which is 200ml.

I'm going to persist but if in a week I still think it's smelly I'm going back to Garnier.
I must admit, I haven't noticed and I went from Garnier to Derma V10 which I bought to try - it has a faint scent but nothing that would make me retch. Suppose it's like perfumes, a subjective thing.
LOVE Micellar Waters though - really great if you're knackered and want to get your make off fast!0
