No they are not, didn't you see the programm recently about the false economy of the poundland shops? The products turned out to be less value for money because smaller products are made specially for them, giving the illusion of a bargain.

Yes, it was a Dispatches programme as far as I remember. It was highly selective, kinda trying to create a scandal when there wasn't one.

I prefer Poundland to 99p stores, because Poundland's till tickets are proper VAT receipts. (At least the ones near my office.)
