    I know there are a few pound shops; 99p and poundland (any others you know of?), but some things are just cheaper in there. If there isn't a list already, I'd really like to make a list of the things I think that are cheaper, so save me from buying them at the supermarket and wasting more money!

    For instance, they had 5 capri sun at the 99p shop, which were more expensive in Tesco. I think this is the cheapest place to buy them (pls correct me if I am wrong)

    Do you know of anything in the pound shop that its cheapest to buy
    there?

    5 x Capri-Sun - 99p shop
    12 x cans of pepsi max - £2.89 at poundstretcher
    1 x cadburys hot chocolate - which shop??
    1 x galaxy hot chocolate - which shop??
    3 x tins of tuna - which shop?
    mccoys 8 pack - £1 - which shop?
    7 x chewits - £1 - Poundland
    1 x flash wipes - £1 - Poundland
    1 x cif wipes - £1 - Poundland
    1 x large bar of toblerone - £1 - Poundland


    hot chocolate is from poundland along with the mcCoys :o oh and the tuna :rotfl:

    check prices on Poundland website and moneysupermarket and you can soon find where to buy the bargains!
    always check the pack sizes though as some are different in each shop,
    one being Covonia 50ml in Poundland but £4.25 in Asda for 300ml which works out at 71p for 50ml
