Poundland price rise!

No not more than a £1, less for your £1. Bacon used to be 6 slices now 5. Soup, 2 for a £1, now 3 for £2. (that's a big increase!) Vegetable oil was 1lt now 750 ml. (that's probably due to the drivers of Chelsea tractors buying it to fuel their gas guzzlers!!) Sugar used to be 1.1/2 kg, now 1.25kg. (Which means if you can buy sugar at 80p,or less, you are paying more) and the list goes on. I'm not saying that Poundland, £ shops, 99p shops aren't good value, most of the time they are, just be aware that sometimes it might not be such good value as you think!

Thanks for the warning I'll stay clear.

It's not just Chelsea Tractors that use veggy oil - me and 4 of my mates ran our fleet of cars on them all of last summer and the summer before.

We all have/had our own businesses, and together did about 2000 miles a week. Nearly a thousand litres of veggy a month!

Still, it was cheaper than diesel. Saved us a fortune.

Same for this year, although we're buying in bulk due to the price increases.

And your the main reason why folks like me are paying double for veggy oil than we were a couple of years ago. It should be made illegal to use new food quality oil and only use recycled for vehicles!!

I imagine they had 3 choices, Decrease Size. Give up item or change name to Two Poundland.

I believe it has already been mentioned that there are a lot of 'pound' shops in London now that are actually:

"£1+ or less shops".

Also known as :

"Shops"

Anytime I go into poundland I work out what the individual price is and decide whether its a good deal, at the end of the day the changes you list arent lift changing, if its too dear and you canget it cheaper elsewhere then go elsewhere, thay like any shop are entitled to rise their prices...inflation exists

Unfortunately it's the consequence of rising food inflation! Still it's a shame though I'll never forget the day, as a consequence of food inflation, my Cathedral cheese was cut shorter

My local Poundland currently has a sale on. Everything in there is currently 95p

You never get as good a deal as you think in places such as this.

Everything in Poundsland is very poor quality, nearly out of date, manufactured in an inferior country or is overpriced.

Far better shopping elsewhere.

Why don't you try MacDonalds?
