    My Poundland had the Carex refills but they were either £1.50 or £2.00.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    I'm shopping much more quickly at the moment but I don't recall seeing a shelf label there. I'll edit if I see anything different next time I visit (and delete this post). 

    Happens in Poundland sometimes (quite rarely now) - I've even purchased items labelled as £2 elsewhere that scan at £1 at another local store, sometimes no rhyme or reason to it! :smiley:

    I dropped by today and was surprised how orderly entry was maintained - all social distancing rules were soundly ignored by certain customers once inside though.

    My finds included a tube of hand cream that was an obvious attempt to emulate L'Occitane. I picked up a rose scented version - just 60ml and the container was in fact plastic. Loads of gardening stuff, including an outside thermometer which might have its uses. 

    I didn't see the collapsible funnels (pity, because I would have bought one) but I did note the collapsible silicone colanders which could be handy. My star find was a four pack of reusable metal straws with its own pipe cleaner - much pricier when found in the Aldi middle aisle.

    Eta: I really like the handcream. I can't pretend its good value for money, but it is a nice and thick product; along with the scent it means that it can be used sparingly. My feet feel a bit more loved now, anyway :)

    @Rosa_Damascena what area did you find the metal straws in - I could do with some of these but don't want to pay crazy prices

    Speaking of Mooi - I saw the foot mask but wasn't sure it was the powerful product that stripped skin off the feet that people were raving about last year. Is it? For £1 I want to see results.

    That was the Derma V10 one. It definitely worked for me, it was hard to resist peeling the loose skin off though  :#
