I haven't yet but after reading about this in the newsletter I will definitely be checking out Poundland at the weekend!

Loads in my local Poundland, shame I don't use the stuff.

It's a complete waste of time paying loads of money for stuff like bath foams, shower gels, shampoos, face cream, body creams, moisturisers, etc. etc. as these are all basically detergents, etc and many brand names are also produced by companies like McBrides which makes all this stuff for the different labels....Ladies: experiment with the cheap moisturisers and body creams, etc. and find one that suits you - no need to pay loads of money for the 'premium' brands - it's all the same ingredients.

Not necessarily. I notice a big difference between different brands of conditioner, and certain soaps will set my eczema off. There's nothing wrong with saving money on things that are exactly the same as the 'name brand', but sometimes you pay more for a name, and sometimes for branding. I get access to product ingredient lists a lot and know that the proportions, if not the ingredients, vary a great deal.

Not sure if this is in the same vein, but I use BioOil, which in Superdrug is for a small bottle around £7, going up to £20 for the largest bottles. However in Asda, i've found they do their cheaper version which has almost all the same ingredients. It's called Skin Oil, it looks and smells identical to the BioOil stuff but the little bottles are £3.50 and the largest are around £7.
Hope this helps someone!

Surely not so clever to go to the Boots press office with this...they risk is they'll stop doing it.

rightly said, ever since someone informed The Sun Newspaper and it was reported in the papers, boots have stopped supplying it to pound shops.

you can also find tights from Tesco & Next if u remove the labels, these days the pound land in north london sell products from rimmell, maybelline and wet & wild....cosmetics like lip gloss, eye shadow and lip liner which retails about £4 from super drug and boots. they also have their own cosmetic range called chit chat which i love especially the liquid eye liner.
