There are also lots of seeds, bulbs, ready-to-plant roses etc and shrubs but none of them are reduced - suppose the gardening stuff is just coming into stores. They'll get reduced as we get into autumn, I'd assume.

Edit 27th April (from yesterday) - some more bonus gardening items:

Russell's Chilli, Tomato or Sweet Pea Grow Set, £2

This is a bit of a wild card (my niece is called Lily), though I think you'd probably need a greenhouse for this one* - Wilson & Gregory Giant Lilies/Pretty Woman x 2 bulbs, £1
*Edit, maybe not, more info here, though they're using the same girl/set of images on this site too

Has anyone seen Caramac bars 3 for £1 in Poundland recently, they are shown on the website but I have yet to see them in my local shop.

The philadelphae I bought from Poundland a couple of months ago are doing well. I expect them to flower for about a fortnight in June, then I shall replant in bigger tubs before permanently relocating them in my back garden in a couple of years time.

Ok, they had them in today, it was a supply problem, the deliveries were all over the place according to the person I spoke to.
Just need to see if they taste as I remember them, I am resisting at the moment as I have not walked enough miles yet today to qualify for a treat.

I am certain that my lovely Granny used to get Caramac Easter eggs for all of her grandchildren when I was a little girl (decades ago now). Is it the same stuff or am I thinking of something else? Just that one word has brought back so many memories, all good as my Granny was a wonderful, wonderful lady.

I can't swear to the Caramac easter eggs but I do know that Cadburys made a caramel version of the chocolate egg.

The thing about Caramac is that it does not contain any chocolate.
Tried some and although it tastes OK, I feel it is a bit sweeter than I remember from my boyhood days but as that was half a century ago don't take my word for it

There certainly was a Caramac back in the 60s, possibly 50s.  It was excellent.  Sadly the modern version has been cheapened and tastes very little like the original.

This would have been during the 70s. I looked them up online and it was the Caramac eggs, I remember the packaging so well. Not sure I ever liked the Caramac and really don't think I'd like it now, especially if it's been modified by Nestle. I would certainly have been grateful to my dear Granny as she had about forty grandchildren and always ensured that we had Easter eggs, a Christmas present and a card on our birthdays. Bless her, she wasn't well off and saved from her pension every week.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little there, please resume normal service whilst I enjoy my memories of a very dear lady... and thank you for letting me reminisce

Much as I love Poundland for both essentials and inexpensive treats, I really object to the amount of single / limited use plastic it sells, particularly its unnecessary use in children's toys (other materials are an option) and seasonal goods. 

We've seen huge environmental benefits emerge from this pandemic, but unless the consumer flexes its collective muscle we'll see production of this indestructible rubbish reverse any gains that have been made over the last 2 months. Realistically, how can Poundland be encouraged to stop stocking it by its customer base? By this I mean something more than individual customer communications.

I go to Poundland as a thrifty shopper, (ditto charity shops) but I appreciate that very many people cannot afford alternatives. The aim is not to shut Poundland down, just to open its eyes to options with a lower environmental footprint as a preference.
