Default Poundland and the 99p store in Torquay are trying to undercut each other

Poundland its 90p
99p store its 92p


Lucky for Torquay locals.


[Now there's even a sale at the pound shops! Discount stores across the country cutting prices to 90p as they battle for customers

Poundland and the 99p store in Torquay are trying to undercut each other
The 99p Store has gradually dropped its price to 92p in 'tactical marketing'
Poundland have dropped theirs to 90p, offering lowest prices in the town
Comes as more and more shoppers are using the stores to supplement weekly shops ]

This happened in my local town. A new 99p store opened so Poundland became the 95p store. I don't see how a 4p difference is going to make any difference.

Any reduction is good.


Some things are a pound in supermarkets


Like 4 Frys Turkish Delights
is only a Ł1 in AsdaWalmart
but now Poundland is also selling the 4 pack

Shaun get to Poundland
Alkaline AA or AAA batterys
Kodak use by 2021



packs of 6 in poundland

That is below trade price.
Kodak was closed down
so Poundland has their stocks


And you get them at 90p.
