The only price you can see in that picture is the banner for £6 😂
And i believe even that says *from* above it
£1.25 land
Yea there is another one and everything is over a quid
A ‘one below’ near me (ripoff Poundland) has rebranded to ‘One Beyond’. It’s a fucking joke is what it is
Pound(ish)Land.
Do exactly this, with comic sans, on the wall. It should only be legible from one particular angle
Sound ‘laa
Everything should weigh a Pound, 1lb (453.5g)
That would make shopping easier as you would know how heavy your bags are going to be.
Not even Iceland is safe
I remember going into a newly opened one in town, years ago, and this crackhead-looking guy came in for a look round, and every time he picked an item up, he’d shout across to the assistant, “How much is this, love?”
“A pound.”
“And how much for this?”
“That’s a pound.”
Over, and over again.
Looking back, it was uncomfortable but funny. Nowadays, it’s understandable. Maybe it’s people like him who sowed the seed of what it’s become today? 🤔
Pound + pounds land
Just put a question mark at the end; Poundland?
Poundsland
EX-Poundland
Honestly my local poundlands are actually still really great. Basically most things are a pound, and compared to the next door asdas and tescos its a bargain. For the same product that is a quid in poundland would be 2-3x more somewhere else.
Used to be a Poundland
Off topic but when I first came to the UK, I thought it’s a sex shop
Should be renamed to Inflationland.
Back in the 90s and 2000s, you could find pretty amazing stuff in all the pound shops and chains like poundbusters, because a lot of it was surplus stock and things like that they got for cheap. They seemed to be mostly owned and run by Middle Eastern and Indian families, at least the ones I knew as a kid were. The Poundbusters near me had a bunch of Sailor Moon fashion dolls briefly, which I wish I’d bought because those things fetch a pretty price on EBay nowadays. I also got some plushies of my favorite Pokemon which I wish I still had.
Then the 99p store and Poundland came along and cornered the market by having a bigger presence and selling lots of stuff that was specifically made for them, so there was more consistent stock for sale, whereas the other stores sold what they could get and once it was gone it was gone.
All the little pound stores and Poundbusters couldn’t really compete, and once they had all been killed off along with competitors like Woolies, Poundland and 99p store merged and jacked up all their prices.
Everything under 1.49 land
Right, their entire tagline was ‘everything for a pound’. That was the whole beauty of the shop. Now it’s a joke.

We’ve moved onto Poundland 2
I was thinking that. Apoundandup.
Should be called “PoundsLand” not “Poundland”
They should do random drops of one pound coins every hour.
I’m launching Fiverland next year. Should be good for a couple of years at least.
Poundland+
Just wait. 5 years from now the UK will be using Freddo’s as currency
Why didn’t they call it Pound Town? Lost opportunity…
Multipoundland
Hasn’t been a place for things that cost a pound for a long time.
Pound and
We moved here a little while ago and think Pound Town is a better name and we laugh every time we see one.

Honestly, this rebrand feels fresh like Giving the memes a Proper cuppa and a Warm biscuit upgrade.
My two personal favourites…
1. WhateverthefucktheylikeLand
Or
2. Not-a-Poundland
Technically everything is at least a pound and uses the currency.
It’s not even £2 or £3 land anymore.
I’ve seen stuff in there for £5.
People were losing their minds. Children were crying. Grown men fighting at the tills having had too much pick-n-mix en route.
I’m not going back in there. Fuck that.
I miss Woolworths!
Fiver.
£1 five years ago land
when they say everything is a pound, they mean it y’know
