Poundland Bargain Thread -

Rosa_Damascena

More about my calendar saga - they have finally appeared in Poundland, on a gondola end alongside the academic year 2020/21. Except the former is now made of recycled paper with a material covering and priced £3, and the latter just £1. I still like to keep a paper dairy alongside my electronic calendars, and in the scheme of things its not a lot of money and so easily spent on other things...but equally it IS 3 times the price I paid last year.

And for that reason, I feel a bit disgruntled with Poundland. Am less likely to make random handy-to-have-but-not-essential purchases from there in future.

I think The Works have several styles of 2021 calendars for £2.

I know what you mean though - I do understand that it must be increasingly difficult to stock the store with things they can sell for £1 and still make a profit, but I’m becoming increasingly grumpy to find things costing anything up to a fiver in there (and often the price is not clearly labelled, so you don’t find out until you are at the till).

Argyle Street, Glasgow tonight circa 6pm. Rather unhelpfully, Poundland give no indicator of price - but it was in amongst other £1 tech-friendly items. I suspect it's £1 but as a Huawei 20X owner I didn't buy any!

My mum saw this in a Sunday Supplement magazine, so I bought her this Pep & Co jumper for £10 (usually ignore that section, tbh!). The yarn feels nice and soft - how well it will wash and wear remains to be seen!

Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, this afternoon of the Gingery Orange 360g Toblerone. There were also White and Crunchy Almonds 360g varieties on display nearby, but I had my hands full of things!

I suspect the ordinary Milk Chocolate variety will be around, too - I was in and out in a flash today!

 Card factory usually have chunky A5 diaries. I got one last year, they had a few bright colours.  I got a pale orange, I think that they were £1

I use this stuff as handwash

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.

I buy the Lidl version

I took these pictures on the 19th (November), was knackered that night, mum was in hospital (not COVID, or serious) and totally forgot about these, so these may be, erm, Fake News?

Or, at the very least, may not all be in stores now.
