the rougher and more poverty stricken the area is the better their poundland will be. This one is one of the best i have seen. Nice big store with good range of bigger items

You know, last year I got EVERYTHING I needed for T in the Park. Rehydration sachets, travel wash, toothpaste and of course, glow sticks. I know that’s not everything, but they don’t sell alcohol. The Poundland in the Forge has a semi-decent home ware and healthcare area which is the only reason I’d go anyway. Good for random bits and pieces.

What better place for a Poundland than The Forge Shopping Centre, right in the middle of poverty stricken Parkhead. You’ll always find this place packed with pram pushing, trackie wearing Vicky Pollard lookalikes, all filling their baskets with pound purchases. Poundland is an amazing store, which is always queued right up the length of the store. Sure, it’s unashamedly tacky, and some of the items aren’t worth the pound you pay for them, however you’ll find some decent essentials in here such as toiletries and stationery. I’m amazed that anywhere can afford to sell absolutely everything for a pound, however it’s always incredibly busy, so I imgaine it’ll be around for a very long time.

I had never been in this til very recently, and was very surprised that there were actual genuine bargains among the tat. Their selection of big names like Charles Worthington, and Revlon is amazing and of course very cheap. Often the only difference is the packaging. The household stuff is also great as I grudge spending a lot of money on basics like bin bags or clothes pins. There are also bargains to be had in their food aisle, but you need to be pretty vigilant checking expiry dates etc. They now also accept cards, as long as you spend £5 minimum. The only downside is that the credit crunch is encouraging a lot of people to try this place out, so it can get very busy with the queues.
