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

[Thankyou4calling]

How these stores do it is beyond me.

I know it's not very PH but sometimes needs must.

I bought a set of 5 spanners for a pound. I accept if you use these tools for your living they probably aren't for you but they seem ok in a home DIY way, you'd definitely be happy at £5.99 for them so a pound is nuts.

What's your best buy? Or am I alone in this.

Microfibre cloths. Not worth washing them for that price!

Some mid-sized flowerpots with fitted vented clear plastic lids. They're like individual incubators and ideal for giving seedlings a hurry up on the window ledge.

How much of the driveway did it clear?

A greenhouse. Well, it was one of those flimsy things with a plastic cover - think condom with a zipper in it. Anyway, it came with three shelves and was robust enough (with about half a dozen bricks on the lowest shelf) to survive a year. Did the germinating bizzy lizzies fine.

10 litre water butt. One for gathering drinking water, and one for er..... gathering non-drinking water whilst camping at festivals.

Im really quite embarrassed for anyone he feels they should go into such establishment!
