Poundland

Well I did my bit today to regenerate the British economy. :D
I saw a new Poundland in Wakefield, and went in to have a look. They had a small number of gardening things and I was pleased to get for £1 each packet:-

4x Incarvillea delvayii (hardy gloxinia/ flowering fern)
6x Mirabilis jalapa (4 o/clock plant)
3x Eryngium planum (sea holly)
25x Acidanthera murilea (peacock orchid)

and they had some other small bulbs - 2 packets for £1 - no wonder Woolies couldn't compete!

 

Well done Peter.

I think Pound land has now been undercut.

We have a 99p shop.:lollol:

 

Ninetyninepeeland? Doesn`t sound right, somehow, Pete.:lollol:

 

:lollol:Thats why its called "The 99p shop".:D

 

Not the " Not Quite A Pound, Shop ", then?

 

Apparently the pound is only worth 75 p now anyway, so either way, I think we are being overcharged.

Sorry about this Peter.

 

Better send it quick before its worth even less. :D

 

Hello Peter S We went to Ellsmere port for run in the car for an hour or so and Poundland in there arcade was selling plants at £1
I had a packet of Sommelin and 4 lilies [black outwas the name ?] A packet of physalis with 3 plantlets and I also had a packet of herb seeds in 6 varieties parsley,basil,chives,thyme dill and mint altogether 800 seeds all at a pound apiece :plant:

 

I have to say I have bought lots from pound land over the years.

From fruit trees, to bulbs and seeds to cloches, fleeces and many other bargains :hehe:

All have been perfectly fine and great value for money.

 

How about "Sub-Quid", then they could sell rolls too..:D

Steve...

 

Not that people have less money up North but in Newcastle there was a penny land though I never went in but doubt that was the prices!

I just got back from the Range - no sales on pots but also many of the pots were in a dark area outside so I couldn't really see them. In general they do seem quite expensive though - £40 for a big square one and it's not even pot it's fibreglass

They do have a seed sale on though and their £1.99 seeds are 3 for 1 - most in packets with 4 types/varieties so I got:

Sweet pea collection
Buterfly collection
Field flowers Mix
Hanging Basket collection - Nast tomb thumb, lobelia sapphire, sweet pea, petunia (2,475 seeds!)
Field flowers mixed
Marigold and petunia (1,300 seeds)
