Thanks Lou, I'll get the Frozen calendar for my little niece.

Thanks for your posts LouLou. I don't get into town much and sometimes our Poundland doesn't have the same things as your local but I enjoy reading your posts. You give me good ideas for gifts even if I can't get them from Poundland.
Your latest post has made me realise that my granddaughter is now old enough for calendars and diaries, and the good news is I can buy her one every year as a stocking filler!
Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to post and including great pics!

For those in Edinburgh:
There's a new Poundland opening in Princes St (near Castle St) tomorrow, Sat 16th Nov. They'll be giving out Golden Envelopes with prizes to the first 100 customers. Top prize is 1 x £50 voucher, then decreasing amounts. Poster in the window says 10am but some local Googled news reports say it's opening at 9am...? I took a photo of the poster but inadvertently captured my reflection in the glass so shan't be uploading the image!

But full marks for the helpful intention!

I bought the Frozen calendar this evening. The DIY section is changing quite fast, if like me you need exterior paint then now is the time to buy a small pot before it goes! (White gloss, black gloss and yacht varnish - otherwise ridiculously expensive to buy a large pot for a small job). Also spotted in the make-up aisle: MUA blushers. Oddly some packs had two blushers, and others only one. You can guess which I bought

There were some handy little cable tidies (Playboy bunnies / semi-spheres) in bright colours, 3 per pack. I also saw 300g boxes of lebkuchen (filled hearts or pretzel shapes): not my kind of thing, but it seems like a lot of biscuit for £1.

Got to watch what you buy in there, I had 5 items in my basket and they said £6 please. When asked why the said I had a £2 item and it said it on the shelve. I did not see it so I told them to keep it.
They should be prosecuted under the trades description act, if it says says Poundworld/land outside then they should not be able to charge you £2/£5/£10.
Watch they don't catch you.

Picked up a couple of calendars as stocking fillers, they do look like they are only worth a quid, but good as a wee extra. Will need to go back and look for a couple of the other items you have pictured when I have a bit more time

They can charge you whatever they want, its just a shop name. If the price is on the shelf or on the product itself, they are doing nothing wrong. They've been selling certain items for over £1 for years.

Edit: And as you can see from LouLou's many pics, they are usually very clearly marked prices on the shelf.

Oh yes forgot to post, there were some cylindrical packaged scented Christmas candles the other day in 3 varieties. None were pleasant: the Frankincense was particularly dreadful and I can't remember the names of the other two.

Poundland does plenty of scented candles that do smell nice, so buy those instead!
