Paracetamol. 3 boxes of 16 for a pound, while they are 14p a box in Wilkinson or even 28p a box in the supermarket.
are they legallu allowed to sell 3 fro £1?
In supermatkets/chemists etc they only allowed to sell 2 paracetammol containing products per person so why can £1 shops sell more than this?0 -
There's a "what TO buy" forum - where's the link for it?0

The car bulb sets are too dim for headlights. I now buy Ring car headlight bulbs from Wilkinsons (around £4 I think) or from Trago Mills when I am in Devon (around £2-£3 a couple of years ago).0
