There's a Poundworld store near me and under the Poundworld logo it declares "everything £1", like this...
poundworld.net/

Only thing is everything is not £1, multiples of £1, yes but not 1 actual pound.

It really pisses me off because probably the majority of things are nowhere near £1. The first time I went in I put stuff in my trolley thinking it was a pound only to realise they sold stuff like curtains, clothes airers, toys etc that are something like £15.

Surely that's false advertising or am I being thick and missing something?

Also where the hell has "convert links" disappeared to?

Im fairly sure everything in our poundworld IS a pound. That said I'm more of a poundland kinda girl lol!

Yanbu though!

I've never seen anything in a poundworld that wasn't one actual pound. Or sometimes they're 2 for a pound.

Were the prices the manufacturers recommended price, or put on by a previous shop? Places like poundworld often buy up surplus stock from shops that are closing.

There are shelf edge labels with the prices on so it's not just an MRP. Looking at their website I linked to everything on there is £1 but there is much more instore.

I prefer pound land as well Grin I love spending a few quid in there.

Is Poundworld different from Poundland?
In Poundland everything is £1 or under.

MunchMunch · 01/10/2013 19:40

Yes TheGreyLady we have a few shops of both in My area.

We have both too, and 99p stores, and another shop where everything is 99p, called sams.I think.

There's a Poundworld by us and they don't have anything over a pound in it either. Unless it's a new thing increasing their range.

feetlikeahobbit · 01/10/2013 20:18

I think it's called Poundworld plus and yes, they do sell things for way over a quid. They tuck it at the back of the shop.

CrohnicallyLurking · 01/10/2013 20:59

A quick google brought up 'pound world extra' which clearly says 'bargains over £1', I guess you have one of those rather than a regular pound world. So if the store is labelled as an 'extra' then I'm afraid YABU.

MunchMunch · 01/10/2013 21:16

Not labelled as Poundworld Extra and nothing expensive tucked away, everything out and mingled in with the pound stuff. I've wanted to ask the staff many times but thought I was totally missing something and would look a dick in front of everyone but next time I go in I'm going to brave it and ask.
