Quite amusing on Hounslow High Street, where there is already a Poundland and a 99p Store, someone has opened a '98p Store' and there's a new '90p store' further up the road.

I remember going to Bognor Regis a couple of years ago and they had a "60p Store". For me, that summed the town up nicely.

I sent an e-mail to Poundland asking them if inflation (or a weakening of the pound) would eventually force them to change their business model. I got a polite reply back saying that it would stay at 1 pound for the forseeable future :-)

In reality - it will have to change. Personally, I would like to see things that cost more than a pound - but which are bargains.

Well the range and quality of goods at Poundland has certainly much improved over the last 10 years.

I've always wondered what would happen if and when we join the Euro... "2EurosLand"?

Sure it will change eventually. It wasn't that long ago when these type of stores were the 49p / 50p stores.

Didn't Woolworths originally sell everything for 6d?

No I don't remember the one penny bazaars

No 99p shops around here but there are loads where my boyfriend lives. Perhaps it's only a city thing.

I go to the Lewisham one.

They are pretty good.

Lovely bargains, but think of the additives you are poisoning yourself with!
99p shops are great for gardening bits and astonish cleaning stuff.
