What's the best thing you ever got in a pound shop?

walked past one yesterday and ended up buying 7 items!!

Best one I think was a table top sellotape dispenser with 6 rolls of tape included!!

    I bought a phone charger for my car for my old phone for $1. Cost $25 from the phone place. Couldn't pass up that deal.

    I love £££ shops, you can get really good value batteries there, as well as glasses etc.

    You are missing out :yes:

    Only thing you have to be careful of is absentmindedly buying stuff for a pound that is cheaper somewhere else...like pasta.

    Kinnaird Park in Edinburgh had the killer combination of a pound shop beside a cinema. You'd go in and buy these giant fuck off bags of sweets on the way to the pictures.

    They went up the jumper in one fluid movement. Gave you a beer belly style bulge but, given the size of the bags, you'd be noted as a fat bastard anyway, so it was all good.

    There's a masssive one in Camden, I can never go in without buying 1kg chocolate chip cookies :blush: But they are gooooood cookies! I usually just buy batteries there, but also good for stuff like umbrellas. I will, unfailingly, lose or break my umbrella so I just buy 99p ones instead... Oh, and I got my faithful archaeology torch from there. Couldn't find the loo on the campsite without it!

    Bought 20 AA batteries for £1. Thought they'd be pretty shite, but they worked really well when I used to use them for my minidisc player after the lithium battery got fucked. Don't last as long as Duracell but you can't go wrong for a quid. Great for TV remote controls etc.

    It's gotta be sweeties for me although I actually don't eat that many sweets. Usually score me points at work though!

    Poundland in York supplies our flat with loo roll, that's more boring!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Hmmm...

    I just bought random things, nothing special. BUT a friend of mine got mortal combat conquest on dvd for a £1, well a £1 per series which is 3/4disk I think.

    It also has a 99p shop! And a Home Bargains. LOADS of cheap stuff.

    The 95p shop truly is crap tho.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    i remember back in the day when there were 50p shops ;(

    I only actually know of one dollar store where everything is $1. Every other "dollar store" Sells things at any price, its no better deal than going to any other store.
