There's good cheap and there's bad cheap, Poundland has it all - plus a few surprises too…
Walking through a local Poundland shop recently with eyes like pound coins, I was surprised and a little queasy when I saw some bacon and other porky products in a fridge.
There was just something a little wrong about it and perhaps I'll come round, but I think I'll stick to the cut-price chocolate and shampoo for now, thanks.
Just because it's cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it
That said, there are some brilliant bargains to be had in Pound Shops but you have to have your wits about you – the fixed price can make you go a bit wild in the aisles.
It's wise to keep a running total of your basket or have a fixed budget as Poundland can make you spin the wheel of cheapness a little too hard and overspend, defeating the object of shopping there in the first place.

Best buys at Poundland
Toiletries, cleaning products, cakes and biscuits, for example, can sometimes be a brilliant deal but in other cases might be slightly cheaper in the supermarket, so it pays to do price comparisons if you're trying to save money. Top tip: the hair dyes are almost always a bargain.
The books and DVDs are always worth a look as there are often high-profile new releases as well as the occasional oddball straight-to-DVD release that you're curious enough to pay a pound for.
Poundland packaging and batteries are also well-regarded amongst frugalistas as being bargainous.
It's a good idea to pop back into Poundland regularly as the stock changes often and goes fast. I recently got a great foam laptop case and camera case for £1 each (obviously!).
Not the most exciting of purchases but practical and they saved me a pretty penny as both had been over a fiver elsewhere.
A quick word to the wise, though, don't you spendthrifts know there's a 99p store now as well?
