Okay reading ya'll talk about these dollar stores is making me sad because the nearest one we have is about an hour away!!! Booohooo.. it's okay, one day.

Re: Your local £1 shop / $1 shop / 2 RIYAL Shop...

Where i live alot of ppl shop at dollar stores b/c its a necessity and they cant afford othrewise. so u guys (including myself) count our blessings that its an option and not the ONLY choice...

yeah

sara, well said!

I love poundshops and before we had any in our town I loved going to the one in my home city of Brum (UK).

As many have said there is may bargains to be had e.g. cheap ceramic dishes which are often £4-5 in mainstream shops.

During the festive period I also pick up giftbags, small presents (and believe me there are some top bargains such as a pink hammer, pink staple gun, pink tool box, pink tax disc holder) as well sweets etc that are fine to eat there just not UK known thus are cheap but still make great gifts for unexpected kids.

I love bargain shopping-we also have B&M and Home Bargains in the UK where you can get many great priced shops. I believe in waste not want not so if I can pay 30% less for an item by shopping at a smaller shop and use the money towards something else I'm happy.
