Poundland

One of the better pound shops in Bradford, and one of the biggest. Being part of a nationwide chain of stores, poundland gets some good bargains in. It is very good for cleaning supplies and toiletries, and surprisingly good for childrens’ books and computer supplies.

The problem with poundland is that, because it is so popular, it gets very busy and crowded, with queues that are forced in to the aisles. There is a lot of tills but not always the staff to fill them.

Aside from that the store is very clean and tidy. The shelves are not cluttered and the store has a layout that makes sense, you cn quite easily find what you want.

This is the busyest and the best pound shop in town. They have some absolute bargains like dvds and cds for a quid and they are sometimes the best ones - i once bought the mask dvd for £8 from hmv and then found it in here for a quid. They have a good choice of books too - some really good ones for kids and some good ones for adults like biographies - the stock is always changing. They have a good range of medical items like lemsip and the like for a quid which is a bargain. They sell household items, the odd bits of food and drink and lots of choice in confectionary. They sell some good socks for kids and adults alike too.

A really busy shop with lots and lots of bargain which keep changing - be patient and look about to find the bargains.

The staff are too busy to chat but are lovely and friendly when ther have to be.

There are many pound shops around Bradford. I think I have lost count and they seem to have diferent names too.

I highly recomend pound shops as you can buy a lot of house hold products cheaper than the supermarket. I now do not buy house hold and bath prouducts form supermarkets I get them all from the pound shops.

In the pound shops that I have been in the staff seem over worked and stressed and would rather get you out than have a banter with you.

It is better if you have a lot of time to have a good nosey as there is bargins to be had. Be warned though people flock to these places and quing time is quite long. I worry about being in the ques as you do not know if some one is going to take from your pockett.
