Poundland??

Options
As a newbie I am probably missing something here but I've been avidly reading the site for two days and don't appear to have seen Poundland mentioned at all?

As a long term bargain hunter this shop has been a true find for me, the stock is changing constantly and it's a big thrill (I'm easily pleased) when I find a real bargain in there.

I have a huge stock of an extremely expensive toothpaste thanks to finding it in Poundland with German instructions.

    yip, i agree, poundland is good.....the toothpaste i think is the macleans one, its about £2.45 in boots, well thats the one i seen.

    Ive also got loads from there, but i always end up buying things i dont really need cos its only a pound!

    But yes, it deserves a mention, its a great saver shop

    We buy UHU glue there.It is the large sized tube too.
    I nearly always buy our printer paper in there aswell.
    I think maybe it isnt mentioned much because the stock can change very quickly as you say and what one poundland has, another may not have.

    te he....sorry that just really made me chuckle :D
  • I buy a lot of DVD's from there. I have also bought and sold mini keyrings with torches or remote controls for tv's.

    Poundland really is a great place to get some excellent bargains. Especially things like SCART plugs or USB cables.

    Could go on forever about the bargains i have had from them.

    Poundland is great.

    I visit there often. I always spend more than I go into spend but I use everything I get.

    It is wonderful for pocket money toys. Even though the things don't always last too long but then not much does when it comes to my kids.

    They stock a wide variety of stuff as you say from DVD's to crisps.

    I was also happy to see a second shop is opening up not too far from me so I can take my pick.
    Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

    Slow down speed kills.
