Lets hear it for the 99p shops

[hipipol]

Don't you find that the batteries are just utter shite - they seemed to last about 5 mins. Maybe I just got a knackered lot?

er, thats WHY they are 99p

 

[PacificOcean]

Dalston High Street has a 96p shop!

Beat that!

 

[pootle]

the SE5 ex woolies shop does have an ersatz camping / outdoor rail, next to the fishing tackle one - useful for little things like tent pegs and sychlike

What time does the Camberwell one close?

I'm going to be that way after work weds and need assorted festival bits and pieces. Stuff buying tent pegs for £5.99 if I can get them for 99p

Bath's too posh for pound shops

I think there used to be one in the Southgate shopping centre - whether there will be space in the new Southgate is a different question

There is an interesting article about them in todays paper - http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/aug/04/poundland

Given the current climate I expect it to be 99% 99p shops.

Question though: would you really buy/trust a 99p pregnancy testing kit?!

Just downmarket Lidls

Harder to in though...

Are you on commission to post that link as many times as is humanly possible? It's almost as bad as me and my passenger of shit obsession

Powis Street in Woolwich used to havea 60p shop. It was fucking shite

 

[Upchuck]

They're not Harvey Nicks are they?

I used to get sent into the Camden 99p shop regularly to buy various bits and pieces.

It had really narrow aisles, combined with really wide customers.

I'd never experienced claustrophobia before

Ah, my local.......there is also always at least one a screaming child being ignored as a permanent fixture. Two big bottles of bleach for pouring down the loo for 99p though. Worth a trip - just get up before the rest of the knackers are out of bed!

 

[Thimble Queen]

I went to get canvas and there was none left

 

[not-bono-ever]

I went to get canvas and there was none left

sorry


I got about 10 of the puppies/ my fault - though there were loads left last week - Im sure someone has bought the lot and out them on Ebay for 9.99 each
