Poundland Bargain Thread -

All the Christmas toot was reduced from 50p to 25p today. There were mostly decorative items left but I picked up some 5-pack gift bags (self-sealing), a LED wand and an elf notebook at this price.

I also got what I went in for - an LED lightbulb. I've heard mixed reviews about these, but given they cost about £3 elsewhere and I won't be using the lamp that often, I thought they'd be worth a go, and it seems to be working fine. Was impressed by the range of lightbulbs they have in stock and they still have the display stand of large antique light bulbs.

Forgot to say, I also bought some gold and silver spray paints (ideal for pine cones) at 25p.

The I Love twin pack of perfumes are actually nice! I bought the Oud and Fresh one. I react to many perfumes but these I have been fine with.

There's a bit of blethering about the Poundland Mens' scent dupes (no-one's talking about the women's scents on HUKD yet,* though). I commented here

100ml, EDT.

Joop Homme! is Jape
Invictus is Iconique
1 Million is King In Million
Cool Water is Aqua Chill

The address given on the back seems to be one that is listed on a variety of Poundland brands, so these must be manufactured for them.

*Edit: Actually, I found a Poundland female scent, as I remember seeing this on shelves! Beau Reve (copy of La Vie Est Belle) gets a good review halfway down the page here

Poundland's selling engagement rings - just in time for Valentine's Day

Take your pick. I quite fancy the ruby heart :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

RainbowDrops

Great marketing strategy by them!

Some things from Trongate, Glasgow:

Thought this was quite cute, Cactus Vase £1

Lots of Simple items £1 - Moisturising Facial Wash 150ml

Simple Kind To Hair Shampoo or Conditioner 200ml

Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Bath Cream 400ml

Only "Poundland"-brand Womens' perfume in this store is Sparkling Sky Heavenly EDP 100ml (assume an it's an Angel dupe - I would have bought one for testing purposes but I HATE Thierry Mugler Angel!!)

Simple is a good price but unfortunately the shampoo is not sulphate-free (as ever, my concern relates to my fading colour).
