Bargains at Poundland are few and far between, but can be found. I have bought some L'Oreal lipsticks for £1 recently, a 2-pack of vivid lipsticks (think the exact opposite of "nude") for £1 and this also for just £1:


The colour match is not brilliant but it works as a tint when a drop is mixed into another shade I have, and then diluted with moisturiser. Gives me a slightly "tanned" appearance which works well with a vibrant lip

I loathe that form of packaging.   It's quite popular here in Canada for some reason.  Neutrogenia and Marcelle use it.   There is no tube attached to the pump and the tube can be hard to use when you are half way through it.   It's also really hard to remove the pump bit from the tube to decant the product into a small jar for easier use.

I cut them open and scrape the innards into a small pot. With foundation, a tiny drop goes a long way and I'm not wasting any if I can help it!

The one thing I have spotted is Poundland have started selling ground coffee. Cafe Italia brand, at £1 a bag. Considering the next cheapest - Aldi - is £1.69, that's a pretty good bargain if - like me - you drink it daily. Tastes pretty decent as well.

Poundland is really expensive now (plus too much branded stuff you can get anywhere else for around the same price or actually cheaper). Just discovered the little chocolate cake Nom Noms in Exeter Poundland(s) which are really nice but a box is still over a pound.

Gone are the days you could find real gems in Poundland. I doubt that its going to change anytime soon given the rapid expansion in the number of shops. 

Its still has use in sourcing general household items but we've had things too cheap for too long and other parts of the world are suffering for it.

I always thought the 99p shop, who poundland bought out, had better quality stuff.
