I've never bought much in cheapy shops...till today

We have a Poundstretcher near us and I do like it for odd things. I bought a little fold up table once, some ornaments and things like that.

What I have never bought there is stuff like washing powder, cleaners etc.......until today. I always got them at Morrisons with everything else.

I discovered the Finish Classic dishwasher tabs I buy (and sometimes have trouble getting hold of) were £1.99 for 30 in there as opposed to £3.58 in Asda for only 15. Therefore 30 costing £7 approx.

I will be looking more carefully in future.

    I love Poundstretcher, especially for cleaning products. I always buy the extra large and strong black bin bags when my Council bags have run out, but they are usually priced between £2.50 and £3.00 at Tesco, I can get 10 bags for £1.00 at Poundstretcher.

    I always get my teabags from poundstretcher too, they £2.49 for 300, less than 1p a bag is a bargain to me, especially as the box says £5.99 on it!
