Forgot about this one - taken on Wednesday in Strathkelvin Retail Park, Bishopbriggs:

Nuage Oatmeal Daily Moisturising Lotion 250ml or Cream 170ml, £1
Poundland used to stock a Derma V10 Aveeno-alike, no idea if it was any good.

Definitely another Aveeno-like! I recently had a refit and all my toiletries are now visible to me instead of being hidden away in boxes, and I had 26 moisturisers at the last count! So no buying any more for me for at least a couple of years.

Popped in this lunchtime on the lookout for some containers for the bathroom, but there wasn't much about. The kitchen section seemed to have a lot of new stuff with "nifty kitchen stuff" branding, which is transparent and colourless plastic. This is where I saw some stackable wine shelves (£1 per single container which is handy if you've got a small space but if you're thinking of creating a monster you may as well just buy a proper one), and a two-pack of kitchen organisers - a bit like the long slim boxes you find inside fridge doors - which are handy for storing bottles of liquid an jars. There was a large and a slim container in each pack, and they are just what I needed so I was happy. I'm not a fan of plastic but these are sturdy rather than single use, highly functional and I will get years out of them.

I also treated myself to another Bouregeous thick eyebrow pencil (one of the first things I had bought post lockdown) as I am happy with this product.

Return / exchange it for another item? Poundland are usually ok about this.

Then I hope you are dilluting it down by 50% on cost grounds alone? Because 500ml of handwash can be purchased from Lidl for 50p.
