What's the best thing you've ever bought in a POUND shop?

They sell pink bike cleaner, 'dirty bike' which does exactly the same job as Muck Off, I use it for cleaning everything outside and have a stash of 10 bottles in the shed because they only sell it during the summer.
Another good one is a 12 pack of those polystyrene glider planes, my little lad loves them but clumsy little hands break them pretty quickly, a packet of them can keep him (and me) going all day!!

I think that's a brilliant idea. I might suggest that for ours this year, as it seems to have crept up to a tenner. And I got 1 of those desktop pool table "executive toys" for the second year running. Not amused...I know someone who works at a large supplier TO the pound shop industry. They sell hundreds of products.
Some are great - same formula / factory as the proper brand, but a pound. Others are more hit and miss. I'm aware of dodgy batches of dog treats that kill dogs, car air fresheners that melt dashboards, "glade plugins" that drip and kill paint / wood / carpet, that sort of thing. The trick is sussing out which bits are good and which are dodgy - I recon that is why pound shop type punters seem to fanny on in every isle for ages, before leaving with a couple of normal bits..

Well done for propping up the Chinese economy though with your purchasing of fake and seconds/crap quality products. Just be careful with the electrical stuff though yeah? You know that CE sign isn't what you might think it is?
I'd rather buy something once and it last more than a week or buy the real item than have to resort to a 'market' type item from a pound store.

That sounds like the precinct leading towards the bus station
