There's one quite near me where, according to the staff, the manager sits on the computer most of the day flicking through the stock he is able to order for the shop and grabs loads. He gets the most fabulous stuff I've not seen in any other Poundland.
Seen the Thorntons Christmas biscuits in a few stores
I never realised that different stores had different stock - well worth a wet afternoon half hour browse, sometimes they have really good quality things that look far more expensive than they actually are ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

I bought this in September !!!
I dont often go down the bleach aisle...I think I've still got quite a stash from the bucket promotion earlier in the year...I just found it strange to have chosen a mulled spice smell/flavour for bleach...but clearly I have been missing it when shopping.
I just like bleach to smell like....bleach!frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

We have two Poundlands in one town nearby, round the corner from each other. Both are as bad as each other.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

why don't you suggest not buying gifts anymore if it causes a problem.
We no longer buy siblings etc only buy for children but there are not many of them now.
To be honest it's a relief.
Suggest going out together for a meal instead?
Afternoon Peeps.
I have asked the family exactly this today, well my OH family, and OMG its caused moaning.
My side of the family have been fine for years doing it.0 -

I feel your pain sarah....although its not particularly festive most of the gifts we give now are token small things or money/vouchers...with the exception of my sister...she flatly refuses to entertain anything other than a "proper present"
I would much rather ditch christmas gifts in favour of giving something to someone when you see them rather than having to make a time to exchange these christmas gifts just once a year!frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

I came across mulled spice bleach in T the other day...I've clearly been missing out ....when did bleach become subjected to the christmas makeover...
