i really like morrisons but poundland is good for washing up liquid etc. does anyone find them good now theyve got an extended grocery range or do you all prefer the supermarket for staple items ?

Our Poundland has sold them for a while but I always use Asda for my normal shopping.

i like asda but the one near me is hit and miss. they are cheap but i find if i get to like a particular item then theyre out of stock of it for the next 6 months ! [:D]

I buy a few things from poundland but our nearest is 16 miles away in the same town as the Asda. But I do often go there as it's where the main campus of our college is.

I love them, but I am biased as my daughter works there so I get discount.

The only thing we buy from Poundland are batteries and deodorant for hubby!

yeah theyre good for batteries and i need lots of pens for work as my companies got really tight on supplying so although they dont last ages i can get a decent supply for work

FD - if you need pens, then nip into Barclays Bank - there's always loads of pens which they invite you to take.

kal i used to have loads of the blue barclay pens-ahem xx
but now theyve got little blue ones with barclays all over them and the problem is if we do customer stuff (i have to get their names and addresses ) some staff have been told off for using them cos they dont look professional-even though they wont supply us any boo !
the otheres were great though xx

It's still ridiculous - there must be some very sad people using the transport system!
