I'm going to have a moan about Poundland.
£1 is very far from the default. Its been creeping up over the last 4 years but I'd say that less than 50% of its items are actually £1. The other day I looked at make-up - I can usually treat myself to a repackaged low-range brand of lipstick / mascara for £1 - and noticed some foundation. Not my shade, but previously that too would have been £1 (last noticed 3 weeks ago). Now its labelled £5! Which cannot be that far from its RRP on a branded stand. My usual impulse buys seem to have nudged up from £1 to £1.25 or £1.50. I can understand the incremental changes are down to enhanced costs in the chain, but not the big leaps.
The other thing I noticed is that the store was no longer busy.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.1 -

Probably not long before the standard prices are £2 and £5.0 -

Does make me laugh when people complain that food and choc etc has shrunk over the years. They don't seem to take into account the fact that the item is still £1?

I still visit poundland weekly. They sell locally produced milk at £1 per 2 litres and I can't do better than that. I have a look around and usually find something I want for the house, or car or garden, at £1
I'm nearly through replacing all cfl bulbs with poundland £1 leds - more light instantly and at less wattage.

Good to see you back, @LouLou . The same Rimmel product was hoiked up to a massive £5 in my local store.
Something I noticed on my last visit was a pair of cleaning pads in a bamboo bag for £2. I think they are a me-too of Face Halo but the pack made no such claims.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
