    I found a brand of shampoo and conditioner I've not seen in Poundland before, attracted my attention as they say not tested on animals and vegan friendly. Inecto Shea shampoo and Inecto Bamboo conditioner, both 500ml - bottles look like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inecto-Natural-Gorgeously-Glossy-Conditioner/dp/B07N4QJT8T/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=inecto+bamboo+conditioner&qid=1560676242&s=beauty&sr=1-7

    Not tried it yet, I just got the conditioner.

    Not even as if it's that cheap either at £1 for 110g!


    Bars of Cadbury are usually around the £1 per 100g in Poundshops and Home Bargains - whenever I buy any chocolate items I always use that as a benchmark price. Tesco sell bars this size for £1.50 unless they are on offer. Other major supermarkets are the same. So £1 is not overpriced in comparison to all the other shops.

    Its still a lot considering the chocolate quality is inferior, and that Mondelez has a habit of mixing it with cheaper sugary diluents.

    I agree Mondelez have changed the recipe and Dairy Milk is not like it used to be in my childhood but it is still my preferred chocolate. Galaxy sticks to the back of my throat and makes me have a coughing fit so I stay away from that. Cadbury and Galaxy are about the same price per 100g when the main supermarkets don't have them on offer. I'm trying to stay away from products with Palm Oil in them but it's becoming very difficult.

    The roses I bought from Poundland a few months ago have come to bloom, and are just stunning. I have an orange Dutch Kronenbourg from a few years ago and that's just getting more beautiful every year.

    So much joy from just £1 :j

    Has anyone bought a purple rose from Poundland that turned out to be purple? This is a long term hobby of mine, but no luck yet. This years rose turned out to be a (very nice, fragrant) dark pink....

    Just a DO NOT BUY anti-recommendation for 151 mould and mildew remover

    151-mould-and-mildew-remover-500ml.jpg

    This stuff is USELESS. I sprayed it on a couple of patches of black mould in the bathroom several times and it did absolutely nothing. The Wilko 75p stuff would have got rid of the mould, but sadly they no longer sell it. Will try a differennt brand next time. The 151 cleaner could be tap water for all the good it did.

    I purchased this for my back door and frames, my door is white plastic but has moulded grain
    to make it look like a wood pattern and during the bad weather and winter months I get green moss like
    growth on it. Like the green stuff that would grow on rocks around a swamp. I spray the door and all the green ming just runs off without scrubbing then chuck a bucket of water to rinse, job done and no hassle.
