But they do have a point – all the time you're in Poundland there's a sound system telling you how much you're saving, they really try and 'pound' their message home. Iceland have been doing items for a pound (£1 ONLY!!!) forever, especially on fruit and veg, and they are NOT a bargain. It is ALWAYS cheaper to buy your fruit and veg in a fruit and veg shop. It is ALWAYS cheaper to shop around, but who has the time unless you're unemployed...<br /><br />Some odd items bought today in high street: 500g Lurpak Spreadable £2 in Iceland, £3.10 in Tesco (and not available anywhere else in high street). 5-pack of Polomints £1 in Iceland, £1.25 a tube in Tesco. Macleans Whitening Toothpaste £1 in Poundland, £2 in Tesco (but not available in the Metro Express or any other Deptford shop).

Poundland are no angels but they are no worse than any other store - comparing their regular price with supermarkets special deals is highly misleading! Move away from food and the bargains are much greater - identical items selling for £7 in Halfords at £1 in PoundlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-5082740225161845792012-09-17T23:26:43.827+01:002012-09-17T23:26:43.827+01:00Could have made the same documentary about almost ...Could have made the same documentary about almost any high street shop or supermarket, the all use same/similar techniques. It just pays to be a savvy shopper. They're many bargains and lossleaders to be had in poundland but they have to make a profit somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-18589240881774213532012-09-17T22:17:42.399+01:002012-09-17T22:17:42.399+01:00480 filter tips for a quid!
