It's funny.. we were talking about £1 stores at work today. They're alright for general household stuff; soap, shampoo, bubblebath.. that sort of thing.
Seriously, they are not bad for some basic stuff, some good bargains on food in the 99p store in Dartford, on crisps, drinks, biscuits etc when I'm passing (which is not often)
Did get a shed load of xmas decs for the office there last year, absolute bargain, and if they get ruined you dont really care.
Although i wouldn't class it as a £1 shop, Alans Homecare in Welling near the Wimpy always sold cheap tat and that's been there for about 20 years, so some people must be getting bargains.
i paid £1 for a tool kit consisting of a plastic hammer a plastic scredriver a set of plastic screws and a plastic drill----I think it was designed for kids but i couldn't work it out!
Good for bulk buying lighters or like DA9 says cheap Xmas decorations. I don't believe that any of the branded stuff that they sell at knock down prices is Kosher though.
