Not sure how accurate Poundland's Store Finder (with opening times) is at the moment, but may be worth consulting in it before you make a trip.

Argyle Street, Glasgow.

First I should point out that even though Glasgow isn't mentioned in my previous post - I was greeted with this at the Trongate store today (the nearest store to me):

Inside, a few quick things:

emojinary Card Game (ages 10+, 4 or more players in 2 teams), £1

itty bitty Lost Kitties, £1


From my last visit a few days ago, but still in store:

Vosene Kids 2 In 1 Shampoo with grapefruit and vitamin C, £1

Mini Paints (think these are all 215ml) - Buckingham Green Gloss, Oxford Blue Gloss, Matt Black Enamel, Brilliant White, Hi-Gloss Yacht Varnish, £1

Note - If I'm offending anyone stuck at home, I apologise, but it may be months before the world is back to normal? I like documenting my Poundland visits and I'm thankful I'm healthy enough to be able to shop (one person household - most of the time!). I think that old chestnut, keeping calm and carrying on, is the best mindset.

Stay well

Good to see that Poundland's store finder is on the ball - Trongate must have just closed today, I'm sure it was open yesterday. It's now been updated to reflect current store closings.

If you feel safe doing this Lou - you carry on, it gives a glimpse of some kind of normality to see your pictures/posts even if I seldom see anything I need.

Quick Poundland visit for teabags* Argyle Street also has this (which I remember seeing, in a larger form, in the much-missed Watt Brothers).

Berndes Ramekins (edit - think these are just mini casseroles, I'm not a cook at all!), £1 (bear in mind these are pretty small!)


Not seen these before - Creme Egg or Mini Eggs Tins, £5
(Contains 8 Creme Eggs & 1 Bag of Mini Creme Eggs)
(Contains 10 Bags of Mini Eggs) - Maybe not that great now I've squinted at the information on the tins! Tins look nice, though.


Fabulosa Foam Freshener (for carpets and upholstery) "No need to vacuum", £2


OneBelow and Poundland have a few "Zoflora-alikes" and was asking my sister about this one. She really rates the Fabulosa option.

Fabulosa Concentrated Disinfectant - Lemon Sherbert, Black Cherry Merlot, Mango Punch, £1 (220ml - makes 10 litres)

*PS: This store had Tetley or PG Tips "50% Extra Free" = 160 teabags for £2. Prefer PG Tips (NOT one cup versions)

MoaningMyrtle

There is some Bourjois make-up filtering through to Poundland.

Argyle Street, Glasgow:

Ronseal Fence Sprayer, £5 (these are cellophaned, only saw two on display)


Many, many solar lights £1, £2, £5 (big clickys so they're more easily viewable - was sending pictures to my sister miles away)

I had some half price shrubs and fruit bushes last year.  I haven't been to store for about 6 weeks. Has anyone seen above items in stock yet?
My closest is one of the temporary shut-downs , suffice to say that I don't want to travel further afield for nothing.

Was in my local Poundland on Wednesday and did not see any reduced gardening items.

Here's some quick pictures from Argyle Street, Glasgow tonight:

XBC 60 x Tea Tree Cleansing Pads, £1
XBC Tea Tree Oil 10ml, £1

Kodak (?) Lady Disposable Razor 6 Blades x 2, £1 (I think, but what a strange brand to put on razors - assume Poundland own this brand name now?)

Mooi Foot Mask Detox Formula
Mooi Foot Mask Tea Tree & Peppermint, £1

Mooi Foot Mask Argan Oil, £1

Assortment of mugs
3 x Preserve Jars, £1

Ronseal Interior Wood Oil (Clear), Ronseal SuperFlexible Primer & Undercoat Exterior Wood (Dark Grey), Ronseal 10 Year Weatherproof Wood Paint (Spring Green Satin), Ronseal 2 In 1 Weatherproof Primer & Paint (Pure Brilliant White Gloss), £5
Ronseal Total Coloured Wood Preserver (Green, Black or Dark Brown), £5
Ronseal Total Coloured Wood Preserver (Black) - this variety on the bottom shelf looks larger than the ones on the middle shelf, so not sure if this is £5 too

Big clicky here: https://i.imgur.com/i6i3A1E.jpg

Ronseal No Rust Metal Paint (Smooth Dark Green) - think these are £3?
Ronseal Garden Paint (Sapling Green), Ronseal 5 Year Woodstain (Satin Mahogany, Satin Oak), £3
Ronseal 5 Year Woodstain (Satin Smoked Walnut), Ronseal Garden Paint (Terracotta), Ronseal Decking Paint (Golden Cedar) - these are £3, but not sure as the tins on the bottom shelf/right are quite large

No.  Poundland certainly does not own the Kodak brand.  That is definitely a USA brand but it has, for some reason, branched out into razors.  (Perhaps it was thinking of batteries for razors and then just decided to market disposable ones.)
