With rising energy costs and increasing petrol prices, the cost of living has left many people looking for ways to keep costs down. Besides saving money on bills and saving money on your motor, there’s other things that households can do to help cut costs as much as possible when it comes to shopping. While high street store Poundland may be known for keeping its prices low, it turns out that shoppers could be getting items for even cheaper.
With over 800 stores across the country, here’s some simple tips that could help you bag a discount… Choose the right time to visit When it comes to grabbing a bargain, picking when to shop is key. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter. Choosing to visit the store first thing in the morning means that shoppers can get their eyes on any bargains before anyone else.
Similarly, the restocking of shelves typically happens when the shop is closed, either at night or in the morning, meaning that they should be filled to the brim with goodies. However, if you want to know the specifics of your local poundland, speaking to a member of staff may help to gauge when the best time of day to shop is. Look out for reductions When food and drink items near their use-by dates, Poundland tends to subject them to heavy discounts.
As the day goes on, or as the expiry date gets closer, the discounts often get bigger. For instance, costs may be cut to 50p initially but may be brought down to 25p if they haven’t been purchased. Goods such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween related items may be marked down towards the end of the season in order to make room for new stock too.
