Went in the other day  first time.they were restocking ßhevles. I bought 3 bottles of bleach sponges ,4 boxes of toothpaste 2 bottles of lemonade3 packs of biscuits 1 packet of cakes 1 pack of pens 2 bottles of suntan lotion lol 2 packets of ham sliced and washing powder and 2 bottles of washing up liquid spent £21  if i bought these items say co op ms or sainsburys looking at £30 plus. But i agree with ken people tend to buy 2s and 3s of the same items thats why the shelves might look bare.people saying i went there 2 or 3 in the afternoon and it was empty.the shop opens at 8am everyone dont shop at the sametime1😉

well said teddyboy23 

The place wouldn’t take Amex due to “a problem” twice last week. Nobody had a clue as to when Amex would be accepted again. Shelves were oddly empty but only a few of them. It’s clean, bright and not crowded and I got what I’d gone in for (and a few things I’d not had on my list). 7.5/10 

I went in there just after 5pm and it was reasonably busy with customers, but was able to walk straight to a self-service till and pay.

I like the fact it's open until 9pm so I can grab some food as there's more food than the Poundland's in Camberwell and Peckham.

a lot of shops won't take amex as the charge is a lot more than the other banks from the business ....think your find that's why  i know 3 shops that don't take it so i use one of my other bank cards ....easy

Thing is, Poundland does accept it and has for ages but this branch has an ongoing IT problem, it seems. I had no other card and no cash the first time I went.

I went into Poundland just to see if anything had changed since it opened.

It struck me that quite a few  of the things they are selling can actually be bought a lot cheaper elsewhere, eg tea lights, so I'm unclear quite what is the point.

I did buy a bright yellow dustpan and brush for £1.25. Bargain (if it doesn't disintegrate the first time I use it 🤣)

I don't think they (the company as a whole) claim items will cheaper than anywhere else...?

"Poundland"

Is there actually anything for a pound?

Seems like their original USP is no longer valid. Just another shop.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
