Bargains in Poundland/99p/poundworld not what they seem

Whilst we all love a bargain, don't be too taken in.
A lot of these "bargains" are reduced size or weight. (packs of snickers) for example are underweight compared to Tesco (actually next door so I can rush between the two to price check).
However ..... Daddies brown sauce 600gm £1, Tesco £1.79 for 400gms
Finish Tablets £1 / 10 tablets UNDER half of Tesco price!
250 mis-shape chocolates (variety of GOOD makers rejects) £1 !!
If you like a strong cupper; Tesco Original (own brand), medium strength (should read really strong!)
