In these straitened times in which we are all now living, trying to get as much for your pound as possible is part of everyday life. But with inflation rocketing, it's getting harder and harder to get very much for our pennies it seems.
The nation's pound shops used to be a sure fire way to get a load of bargains for £1 or less, but do they still represent a good place for a bargain amid spiralling costs and inflation across the UK?
With this in mind, I headed down to Greater Manchester's pound shop hotspot of Wythenshawe to see exactly what I could get for a pound. Here, you'll find a whole load of different shops with "pound" in their name - around a Pound, Pound Express Plus, Poundstretcher, Poundland and Pound Bakery - yep, Wythenshawe has got them all.
