Those of
you who have been reading my blog from the early days may remember that I
admitted to not being a big fan of Poundland. That was until I braved a branch
and discovered the amazing £1 shower curtain.
Six months
down the line said shower curtain is still going strong, unlike its more
expensive predecessor that ripped around the eyelet holes. I love its cheerful
raindrop design and still rate it as one of my best buys.
Now I’ve
been tempted back to Poundland, as a new branch has recently opened in my local
shopping centre, which is brighter, more cheerful and much more organised than
other branches I’ve seen – and in a much better state of repair too.
One of my
most recent Poundland finds is Thirsty Bubbles Kitchen roll – a triple pack of
kitchen roll that I prefer to the budget supermarket brands. Their packs of
‘metallic’ gift bags are also a great buy (packs of 2 or 3 depending on bag
size), as they appear identical to those sold in many card and gift shops for
at least £2 per bag!
I’ve also
noticed that some branches of Tesco have introduced a ‘pound aisle’. Best buys
here include: Dr Magic Snatch-A-Dye sheets (budget version of Colour Catchers,
but just as effective), Carex shower gels and creams (500ml), Kleenex Original
tissue boxes and, although sold in the ‘pound aisle’, Wisdom Xtraclean toothpaste for
just 50p!
