I'm suprised you haven't heard of Google - https://www.google.com

Anyway to save you the bother, from the poundland website

I love their :

Food press and seal bags
Baby food containers (great for school fruit!)
Stickers for card making with DD

Have just tried this year some seeds/bulbs... will report in a few months on how they did!

I never buy food as it is not such a bargain (apart from the Cadbury's snaps at 2 packs for £1!)

i like their pack of 10 chewy muesli bars, very tasty
and for the chocoholics theyve got a 7 cadburys dairy milk bars multipack (274 g in total) which is pretty good value for money

when i went there today i noticed a cool little "toy" a mini universal tv remote control that can fit on a keyring. its just got the on/off button, volume and channel up/down buttons, looks pretty cool, could have lots of fun with that ;-) anyone tried it out, and know how long the batteries last? it takes 2 watch style button batteries. i think i will get one next time i go and try it out

talking of watch batteries, theyve got a pack of loads of them, all different sizes, seems quite good value, dunno if they are any good though.

theyve also got the full size universal tv remote controls, havent tried them myself, but they sound like a bargain

I buy washing up scourers from in there, I think you get about 14 on a pack which is a lot cheaper than adsa.

Also brought my sister a big disney photo album and scrap book pack, really good for £1.00, that was a one off though, have not seen them since.

We don't have an actual Poundland but we do have a 99p shop.

for -
Astonish paste - £2.50 in Betterware books - brilliant for cleaning halogen hobs.
duplicate receipt books - 2 for 99p - at the stationers they are over £2 each.
oxy/oxi type powder - great for soaking stained clothing in.
Wizz cleaning products (kids get a laugh from me using something with Wizz in it's name :rolleyes: ) - often they have 50% extra free in the bottles too - I have cleaners for stainless steel, leather and an orange de-greaser type spray. Although, I must say I have since discovered baby oil for the stainless steel which is great.
diaries - for the past 3 years I have bought my week-to-view diaries from there. No difference from more expensive ones.

against -
ball point pens and crayons - just cheap and not great at all.

They have cannon, epson and another make for a pound a cartridge and on BOGOF, dont know which models they are for though

in techie items, the gameboy sp usb charger is good (was also in Amazon for £1), they had gameboy headphone adaptor (around £4 in Game), but the 4x usb port breaks, the multi piece screwdriver (black/red handle) is fine, and 2m patch cable (pc to network hub) is a bargain.
they did have pack 5x handwarmers, if you find them again, they are superb for next cold spell.
and the charlie chaplin dvds are unmissable for kids, my nephews love them.
