  • With all of these offers, it is becoming less of a stupid question to ask "How much" when people are talking about things in Poundland.

    Especially when they have Managers Specials which always seem to be £2.99 or over!

    I think you'll find that 99p stores has been around for quite a while - their web site doesn't rank very high in Google, but here it is: http://www.99pstoresltd.com/ - in fact one of the highest matches when I search for "99p stores ltd" is a link to a Kingston Upon Thames council press report about 99p stores hair removal cream burning someone's skin. 99p stores pleaded guilty and coughed up #25,000 for it.

    It's often worth comparing prices in 99p stores, Poundland, Savers Health & Beauty and Wilkinsons.

    Some other quality items in there I bought recently other than the rubbish stuff.

    Kids reflective orange safety vest great for winter biking, age 3 to 12 very bright, certified to the EN491 the proper standard even.

    Someone mentioned the nice little USB ports, they also do a black standard mouse (not actually plugged it in but it keeps my 3 year old happy 'working' alongside me)

    Electric toothbrushes, standard one looks ok, but there is a really nice kids one too, complete with dead batteries! but hey, easily fixed and the actual brush works well.

    Always good for branded jiffy bag multi packs.

    I saw some guy buy 19 tyre pressure gauge with chrome valve cap sets, either he has an amazing car or of course he has an outlet for them.

    Its actually funny looking around ebay just how much stock comes from Poundland or Lidl, perhaps some people would rather pay over the odds than face the stigma of being seen in such places LOL
