Super 99s

My experience with discount stores has been hit or miss. On one occasion, I bought a packet of biscuits for 50p that tasted like chalk (or what I imagine chalk would taste like). And another time, I purchased a Yo-​Yo for 95p that did not do what a Yo-​Yo was supposed to do, and did not have a strong enough string to accomplish certain Yo-​Yo tricks (such as rock the cradle). But my interest in buying things cheap makes me eternally optimistic, and I hope to one day purchase something under 95p that I can be happy with. After visiting The 95p Station, I can say that I was almost there.
Since I will never buy food from a discount store ever again, I settled on purchasing a bundle of pencils and a few erasers, all for under £1. Given the quantity I left with, and the little money I parted with, I thought I came away a winner. Well, when I went home, the a majority of the pencils refused to be sharpened properly (with the lead refusing to stay attached the rest of the pencil). It was a sad day. In addition to stationery, this store also sells household supplies and toiletries. They’re all very cheap, but you get what you pay for.
