Poundland

this store is good.
good bargains. although you have to sumtimes take a closer look at what your buying for example garden solar lights.
i bought some for the patio and they are very tempermental.
i usually go in ther for bits i cant get cheap at the supermarket like tea bags and hair conditioner etc.

Called in here recentley while down visiting friends in Reading, got the kids some great bits to keep the occupied and quite over the weeked. The store was a bit untidy and things on the shelve ooked liked they had been rumaged though, looked more like a sale at harrods than the usal neat and tidy, but it was late in the day.
They stocked all the usual bits from cleaning products to pet supplies and DIY bits and bobs, toys and stationary. Well worth a visit. But it was busy. Staff were friendly enough.

There’s a clear market for Dollar stores in the UK but they obviously don’t use dollars. So what do they have? Poundland, where everything’s a pound (around $ 1.66)!
The store is a block away from Reading Station and it has everything you would expect in a widely discounted variety, from cookies and biscuits, cans of soda, stuff for your car, dishes and cups, silverware, kitchen appliances, office supplies, even over-​the-​counter medicines like cold and flu stuff. Way too much to list here.
You do have to be aware of the prices. I’ve seen some items that were £1 at Poundland for less than that at Asda or Tesco, but the opposite is true too: there are some great bargains to be had.
The aisles are rather narrow — too narrow for trolleys — but they have a big stack of carry baskets. Shoppers seem friendly enough to step aside so you can pass. The lines can tend to be long and it blocks one of the aisles. Maybe it’s not so busy the rest of the year, but lots of people are looking for Christmas bargains now.
And yes, it’s exactly a pound. The price includes tax (they call it VAT over here).

You get a certain class of person in Poundland and, apart from this one occasion, it’s not me.
Full of complete and utter tat, you’d be better off spending an extra twenty pence and going blue-​stripe at Tesco.
I felt like I needed a shower after I came out.

You get everything in a pound. but not much choice compared to 99p storesi bought ear phones from here and they didnt work. tried to return itbut they told that they ll not exchange opened good :(

As the name suggests, everything in Poundland costsA POUND!
Some good bargains to be had from poundland, like USB cables, speakers, some ok CDs, just to name a few. You can also get really good branded toiletries at a fraction fo the price you pay at B**ts or SD. However, be vigilant when buying food, as some food may be very close to the Use by date and others are pass their best before date. If you are buying food to take to a party, its best to buy from supermarkets instead, as it is embrassing to bring out of date food. ;)
The thing that I dislike about Poundland is that there is always things scattered on floors of aisles, which can be hazardous. Its also generally crowded and the queues are somethings very long with just ½ tills open. Apart from that,…Happy shopping!

This store used to be better.
I guess inflation and the weak pound means you get less value for money.
nevertheless you can still pick up some essentials like toiletries for less then regular shops. the same goes for food, but not everything is a bargain.
toys are best avoided especially for young kids, as they are liable to break and probably don’t conform to UK safety standards.

Full of complete and utter junk in my opinion Hate it. The staff are pretty much incompetent and it’s crammed full of garbage.
I imagine if you knew what you wanted it could save you a bit of money, but frankly I can’t stand being in there long enough to find out

Poundland is crammed full of bargains! I regularly buy my tea/​coffee and cleaning stuff from there and it saves me a small fortune, I usually end up with a basket full of chocolates, sweets and toys for the kids as well.
I have also bought quite a bit of computer equipment — cables, dvd’s speakers etc, which have all turned out to be really good buys.
They sometimes have some really good books in there as well, including some great biographies, you have to be quick though, they sell out so quickly.
I managed to make a lovely birthday hamper for my friend’s 60^th birthday, made up almost entirely of things from Poundland, I got so much lovely stuff that I had to buy a bigger basket to put it all in, she absolutely loved it and is going to do it herself for christmas presents.
Highly recommended.

Great place to pick up a bargain especially in the run up to Christmas — great items for stocking fillers — such as boxes of maltesers and over confectionary.
Also good for stationary and toiletries — named goods a lot cheaper than supermarkets!

poundland is a great place to buy all thing s under £1, from high tech gadgets to 5 for £1 stationary deals, you can find almost everything at the poundland in reading, friar st. It is also crammed with food supplies for under a pound like cereals, milk and chocolate.
