We have a fantastic range of Autumn plants this year at Poundland and they are all available now!

We have loads to offer including bulbs, perennials and seeds.  You will find packs of tulips, red hot pokers, crocus’ and gypsophilia as well as bulb collections in purple, orange and red, offering Amazing Value for just £1 each.  Plus pick up the accessories you will need, such as forks, hand trowels, containers and cane supports.

Plus, take a look at our planting guides that have been posted online today for tips and advice on planting bulbs, shrubs and fruit shrubs.  Once you have visited Poundland to get everything you need for a beautiful Autumn garden, you won’t need anything else!! (and it will have cost you much less than other retailers too).

On a completely different note, check out this blog post that we found earlier on the Ms Purple MakeUp blog – a fantastic find in Poundland!  Bumpits are volumising inserts that are used in your hair to give a bigger and wilder look!  They retail in the UK for £9.99 and we have them in selected Poundland stores now for – you’ve guessed it – £1!  I am sure now that the word has got out they will fly off the shelves, so you need to get down there quick!!

Reports in The Sun and on the BBC today claim that the average family is now spending almost £20 a week more on food than they were a year ago. That’s an extra £1,000 a year!!!

But with some savvy shopping at Poundland, customers can SAVE money instead of spending extra. Our amazing Food and Drink section has a great Grocery range with all your everyday essentials and the odd treat too!

Heinz soups 2 for £1 , John West Rice 3 for £2, Princes Tinned Tomatoes 3 for £1,  and that’s just a few of the amazing offers, check out more on our Grocery webpage but even better, head into your nearest store and get all your grocery for less!!!

If you go into a store this weekend get involved with our ‘Summer of Love’. As part of our Charity Partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, we are having a summer fun day to raise much needed funds. No matter what the weather outside it will be glorious in Poundland!  Staff will be dressed in their bright and colourful summer clothes and any donations you can make to this much deserved charity will be welcome.

With more talks of travel companies going out of business and airport staff going on strike, the idea of taking a holiday in the UK becomes more appealing!  The ‘Staycation’ is this year’s buzz word when it comes to holidaying at home and if you’re enjoying the delights of the British Isles this summer, why not head to Poundland and pick up all your travel and camping essentials! It’s also V Festival next weekend, so all these camping and travel things will be great for that too!

Well it was bitter sweet last night for England fans, the England football team were back on form with a 2-1 win over Hungary at Wembley, yeh!  but then came the news that David Beckham’s international career is over because “he is probably, little bit old” according to Fabio Capello. Click here to read the article in The Sun. How sad we won’t get to see Beckham wearing the Three Lions again, do you think it is the right decision?

He can always come and play for the Poundland football team, we don’t have any age restrictions!
