Poundland

[Dancingfairy]

Is it just me who thinks poundland shouldn't be allowed to sell items for more than £1. Why even bother call it poundland?

Nope, everything should be a pound.

Agree, last time there was stuff for £2, £6, confusing.

I bloody hate it, go to pick something up thinking it's a really good bargain for a quick turns out its 3 bloody quid. Change the name if your going to change what you sell.

For a quid that should say

I scanned some through today and it was £5 it was put with all the £1 stuff very annoying.

Yip it should be what it says on the tin

They make it pretty obvious what's more though and it's almost always behind the tills. There washing powder deals are amazing.

But its not called One Pound Land.

It’s whole premis tho is that studs a £1 so they don’t need price tags everything’s a £1

Well I just looked on there Facebook page and actually it is a big £1 sign. They are not behind the tills round here and not any I've seen so you can't speak for all pound shops.

And I wouldn't say the deals were "amazing" no different to tescos offers

I'm not a regular Poundland shopper, but even I know their Unique Selling Point : Everything's £1.

If that is no longer the case, they no longer have a USP, and they become just another shop. Without that USP Tesco, Asda Aldi & Lidl will eat them alive.

All the pound shops by me make it very clear when stuff is more than £1.

If you don't like it, don't shop there

I try to avoid the more expensive stuff in there after buying an £8 extra large pack of Finish dishwasher tablets. No wonder they were in there in that shop as every single tablet was broken to powder so presumably they ended up in Poundland as rejects

Ours makes it very clear when something is more than a pound.

We always get the finish powerball bulk pack. Never had a problem. I don't really mind - it's obvious when something looks too good to be £1.

I suppose you should vote with your feet if it really bothers you.

If you don't like it, don't shop there

Great tip Captain Obvious

But it isn't obvious. People grip and moan but they still shop there instead of the local shop because they can save 10p

Gripe*

I agree op it's a joke in there now every items a random price was so easy grabbing stuff before. Now it's like oh that's £3 that's 50p or 4 for £1.50 etc etc. Odd bits still £1 which is good but they do have a cheek calling it Poundland now!!
Don't think the bigger offers are that amazing can get better in the supermarkets normally xx

It really annoys me.

In our one it is fairly obvious what is more than £1, although it's not behind the till so I don't why it annoys me so much. It does though.

Everything should be £1 that's the whole point of poundland.

Our local store has been extended at the back and doubles up as Pep & Co. It's chaos. You can hardly move and stuff is so crammed in it's impossible to find anything.
Might have to go to Poundworld...

Ours is starting to have more non pound items then pound. It annoys me, probably irrationally. But it still does!
It puts me off shopping there, I'd sooner go to wilko or b and m

To be fair, calling it Poundland was always going to be a business model with a limited lifespan. Just wait a few years until they rename it Fiverland.

Same here as I've noticed they've gradually increased the amount of non pound bits that now it's looking 50:50. Mine is also a "pep and co" so no longer a £ shop really I hadn't even heard of them until they popped up in my local pound shop. Very cheap (not in a good way) clothes.
