Poundland Bargain Thread -

I nipped in to my local store after months away, but the lipstick section was bare bar a couple of Maybelline leftovers. Nothing much of note, except McVities coconut rings which was great news for me because I have had a craving and couldn't find any in my local Lidl and Aldi. 50p for a 300g pack which is about ok.

I know it's been said before, but really what's the point of simply photographing and posting here anything and everything in the shop? It's supposed to be a bargains thread, not a general inventory of their stock. Just checked a couple and, yes, they're on the Poundland website. So, not 'bargains' but general stock.

Assume that's aimed at me - I post the things I deem to be good buys, since when have I posted an inventory of their stock (seeing as I'm the most prolific poster here)? There's very few Poundland-brand-only items on here.

Edit: As an example, I checked the price of the Unibond Floor & Tile Adhesives when I got home, they were at least six times more at full price https://www.homebase.co.uk/unibond-ceramic-floor-tile-adhesive-grout-grey/12842694.html (discontinued now, I think).

The Unibond Tile Adhesive is about the regular price, but I didn't know that till I checked back at my desk.

Of course I'm going to have hits and misses as I don't know the historical prices of EVERYTHING.

And no, it's not been said before. The last complaint I got was about resizing photos when the MSE site was revamped (displayed fine on Desktop but not on other devices, which I wasn't aware of).

Anyway, I have nothing to gain from doing this, so I'm happy to leave others to it.

You could say that about a lot of the threads and posts on the forums, ALL the information is out there on the websites but it is nice to see the posts and the fact that people have gone out of their way to submit them should be complimented rather than critisized.

I post the Lidl offers every week straight from the website, should I stop doing that as well?

Lou Lou,  Please ignore that person, I really enjoy seeing your posts that way I know what to look out for in my local.  Not that I have been in poundland since the start of the 1st lock down.  As due to where the shop I use is in a shopping centre so the footfall went down and they decided to hibernate. 

I am jealous sometimes as well as some stuff mine does not get in.

Yours

Please keep posting, even the stuff at the £1 price we expect. Yes there's lots of items I'm not interested in  (eg. toys) but I appreciate that folk take the time to post what'son the shelves and I admit to paying  £land a visit on the back of something I've seen on here.

LouLou I love your Poundland posts, I have bought a few things you have posted on here, thank-you👍🏻

A lot of people appreciate your posts LouLou so please keep posting.  Doesn't Vectis realise it's not compulsory to read every thread?  If the Poundland one is of no interest then don't read it!!

Don't you dare!! You are our eyes on the ground and your posts are very much appreciated.
