A couple of weeks ago, I was in our local Poundland getting a few bits and bobs and DH decided he wanted to a couple of the wee bottles of Irn Bru (250ml) Stuck them in the basket and went to pay for everything. Checked my receipt on the way out and noticed it said Irn Bru= £1. Tootled back to the lad and asked him if that was right. . .'Yes' he says, 'They are 4 for a pound' I was a bit baffled at this and told him I was charged £2 for two bottles, not 50p (there was no sign up with the price on it) He told me that they were 4 for a pound, or £1 each! :eek: I got a refund and then bought my 4 bottles, lol

I think that's a good example of people needing to pay attention! Some folk think 'ooh, poundshop = cheap = cheapest" which is at times, flawed logic. Not MSErs, of course, but you get my drift!

Lol- unlike the store near me which wouldn't let me buy a single can of diet vimto, no, it was buy all 4 for £1 or none at all! Not even for £1 for the can! (I asked- I was that thirsty, tierd and it was the only store open for a long walk)

the only thing i buy in poundland is sugar. its a 1.5kg bag for £1 much cheaper than the supermarkets who sell 1Kg for almost £1.
