Poundland

Yes we’re all guilty of needlessly buying stuff we don’t need and over consuming, but please don’t judge my love of Poundland too harshly as I do try to take a measured approach with my purchases. Yup, there can be a lot of seemingly pointless items but look a little closer and some gems await you. Staff here always helpful and occasionally cheery which is nice. Selection of items is vast, so whether it be some stationery or some raw plugs your looking for they’ve usually got it. Stand out sections are the gardening, household organising items like baskets, containers and toopaware (for all those Catterick fans), and general DIY. Gonna miss my quick fix when this closes due to the St James Centre refurb, but fingers crossed they relocate to somewhere not too far.

I love me some Poundland… specifically this one! I think this is best out of all the other ones in city centre because it sells many things that cover the basic necessities in life for only a £1! This store has a long aisle dedicated to toiletries… From liquid hand soap, bar soap, shampoo (herbal essence. Pantene), conditioner, body moisturiser, deodorants, toothbrush/​toothpaste and men’s care such as shaving cream, razors.
If you’re under the weather, they sell medicine… Cough drops, meds for the fly, generic version of Vicks.
There’s usually at least one row dedicated to seasonal stuff like Christmas decorations, gardening, Easter, Valentine’s, etc… so this is really the best place to get decorations for all your occasions. Other aisles are dedicated to house related products like toilet paper, cleaning materials, plates, pans, even candles.
If you need school materials like paper, pencils/​pens, markers, or even a DVD to watch… They sell it.
Lastly this place sells a lot of basic food intend and bad for me to endorse but junk food! There’s a lot of different crisps and chocolates here so it really just depends on your taste bud. Honestly, if this store doesn’t sell a particular candy bar, I don’t but it cause why pay .70p for one bar if I can pay £1 for 5 bars?!
I LOVE this place and if you’re on a budget, a bargain hunter, or just cheap… then this is heaven!

I LOVE this place! I come in every few weeks to top up in basics for my home– toiletries, cleaning products, snack foods.
This saves me quite a bit of money and will definitely continue coming back.

I like this store. It’s new and well stocked. It sells loads of stuff, if you’re looking for something and don’t want to pay over the odds then I usually check here first. It’s the best store of it’s type in my view, better than Poundstretcher whose Edinburgh stores are very grubby inside, better than B&M whose stores are only out of town and better than many supermarkets for value.
I didn’t give it a full 5 stars because value is relative. Some items are cheaper than £1 elsewhere if you look around and it’s easy to spend more than you intended because the impression is of so much value but you can buy junk you don’t need if you get carried away.
Another reason I like this store is the ambience. It is a nice ambience and staff appear happy and good spirited which is a big help!

Time to get down the Poundy for your cheap thrills. Everything a pound or less. This is the place for low-​cost toiletries like shampoo and condish, name brand toothpaste and toothbrushes, hair ties, cheap ibuprofen and paracetamol, cheap gardening supplies including plants and those solar lights, cheap art supplies, wrapping paper and greeting cards. Junk food is extremely well-​represented but I never buy it. So you can pay £3.60 for facial wipes in any other shop or get 2 packs for a pound here. No brainer.

I LOVE POUNDLAND. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY.
No matter how much crap you want, you can get it at Poundland for £1 (per item). Or, for you more mathy technical types:
n = items of crap
Total cost of items: n x 1 = £n = BARGAIN.
(range of goods is good (once saw a girl in front of me buying her pregnancy tests here — although she bought three which is probably a good decision considering they are £1 each: S) however I’ve found the Pound Saver stores sometimes have a larger range of items…)

Great for a bargain and not full of tat. Smart shoppers could save a fortune in this place!

Poundland, in St James’ Centre, is a great place to shop. Endless bargains are on offer. One thing that Scotland lacks, by comparison with England, is a wide variety of discount shops no Netto or Wilkinsons for example. However this chain does its best to make up for that. A wide range of goods are available including many brand names. Everything from food to DIY to health products.
This store has some particularly friendly and efficient staff Jo and Jane are two which come to mind.
Well worth a visit :-))

Good old Poundland, whenever I go in for a browse I come out with a whole bunch of stuff I had know idea I even needed or wanted. It’s particularly good at Halloween time when they go all out with decorations and you can decorate your room with fabulous items for you’ve guess it… one pound, the same items can also be found in other stores for a much higher price.
In addition to novelty items, they also have a range of household goodies and food too and not just made up brands, they stock many household names.
This particular branch is always choc-​a-​block, the people of Edinburgh don’t mess around when it comes to snapping up a bargain. It’s well stocked and even though quite chaotic, it’s well organised and there’s always plenty of staff on, just in case you’re not sure of the price of something…

I love Poundland. A quid for everything! What a marvellous idea. I particularly like 24 Oxo Cubes for a pound. Everything you need is in this store, pants, toiletries, cat food, kitchen utensils… and all for a pound!
One Christmas me and my friends did secret Santa from the pound shop. My friend bought me Feminine Hygiene Wash and a book on salt. I returned the favour with a book on different uses of vinegar. That sums up the quality of the goods in here. Fantastic!

Poundland is every student and skint person’s dream. For those not in the know, everything in this shop cost £1, yip only £1. The stock ranges from practical and useful items like toothpaste, loo roll, candles, pens and paper etc; to fun stuff like glow sticks and face paints (told you it was every student’s dream…). There is an amusing section with books and DVDs where you might find such gems as Chico’s autobiography or Harold from Neighbours’ Work Out video (these titles are made-​up, but it gives you an idea of the kind of ridiculous things available — I once came across some soft porn, seriously.!). The stock seems to vary with every delivery, so you can never be entirely sure of what you’re going to find — you can be certain of one thing though, the price is always going to be £1.

fantastic shop … love to bag a bargain and great to entertain the little ones my three year old loves the poundshop and whenever he gets anything new he tells everyone its from the poundshop even if it isn’t…juice snacks toiletries are a great buy and the cards are good too for all occassions, normally always very busy so be prepared!

This is a great shop in the St James centre where everything is a pound. They have a great selection of products from toiletries including shampoo and toothbrushes, gardening tools and plants, toys, food, craft materials, party accessories and kitchen equipment. The store gets really busy at weekends and sometimes you have to queue for a while at the tills. Its amazing just what you can buy for a pound so its worth going for a browse and pick up some bargains.

Goes along the same lines as other Pound stores, pretty much everything is £1! Sometimes there are other offers so you get several things for £1, such as chocolate bars or cans of juice.
The shop is very large and you can find so much in here from toiletries and stationary to garden gnomes and bras. They have also started selling sandwiches now, which are cheaper than buying them from a newsagents or shop. There are a lot of things which don’t seem very good quality and are not very appealing, but they do sell some brand names too. You can buy neutrogena shampoo for £1, which is about half the price of other shops. They also sell cheaper toothpaste and shower gel.
I wouldn’t do all my shopping here, but you can get some great bargains if you have a look around!

Poundland in the St James Centre is such a fantastic place for hunting out bargain, and as the name suggests, everything is a pound.
Yes, it’s a bit of a jumble sale and some of the stuff they sell is utter rubbish, but there are some great bargains to be had.
Their toilettries are half the price of Boots/​Superdrug and they have so many of the big names like Charles Worthington, Herbal Essences, Revlon. The household stuff is great for anyone starting a new home with lots of mugs, plates and kitchenware at a fraction of what you pay in John Lewis across the mall. My favourite place to rummage has to be in their food and sweety aisle. They are always getting in new bags of Haribo, Wine gums, Eclairs and at only £1 it’a great way to get in the good books with your work mates!
The only negative of this place is how busy it gets and how long you sometimes have to wait at the till. With so many bargains to be had you need to be patient with the queues, but i believe it’s worth that wait!

poundland is a nice and quite big shop in the st james centre. Its good because everything in the shop is a pound and its got a wide variety of things to choose from.

This is a Great shop. Some items are pure junk, but there are quite a few quality items and snack deals to make up for this. A huge shop, it’s hard not to spend more than anticipated!
Great for Christmas cards/​wrap/​decorations at this time of the year!

This shop is absolutely fantastic, it sells absolutely everything. And at this time of year when money is hard its a great shop to go to. They have lots of xmas things in just now, and they have various types of food, cans of juice are 4 for £1, which is brilliant. The shop is always VERY busy, which is understandable. They have lots of toiletry things, and make up which is good makes. Would recommend anybody to go there, as there is something for everybody. Either everything is £1, or with some things it is so many for £1.

poundland is the best place in the UK, especialy on this credit crunch.
