Most shoppers are familiar with Poundland since the rand started spreading across the country, offering bargain shopping where most of the items cost just £1 each. In recent months the brand has branched out with a range of products at low prices - although not £1 - as well as clothing and food in fridge and freezer aisles.
Shopper Emma Gill was keen to see if you could pick up an entire week's shopping at ppiundland - as you would at any supermarket - and what the total would be. She set out her experiences of trying to buy a full week's worth of food and household supplies at Poundland in an article for MEN.
Emma said: "Of the 47 items I picked up ... 22 of them cost £1, three were under £1 and 22 cost more. The ones that were less were a 1kg bag of carrots for 50p, coffee sachets which worked out at 75p a box with a two for £1.50 offer, and a jumbo sausage roll, which should have been 75p but was reduced to 40p because it was short-dated.
