Poundland confirms price change across stores

Poundland confirms price change across stores - as 25 locations get huge makeover

Poundland is doubling the number of items it sells for £1 or less across its stores as part of a cost of living drive.

Despite what its name suggests, Poundland prices actually range from 50p to £5.

New examples of items that will be sold for £1 or less include Gillette Shave Foam (200ml), Domestos Bleach (750ml) and Toilet Duck Pine (750ml).

Poundland first started pushing out more £1 or less products back in June this year to help more shoppers who are struggling with their finances.

It will also continue to expand its frozen and chilled food range to more stores - dubbed “Project Diamond” - with Poundland naming the next 25 locations.

You can see a full list of stores below.

By the autumn, around 350 stores will stock chilled and frozen food, alongside PEP&CO clothing and homewares.

Poundland brought its “Project Diamond” makeover to around 50 stores this summer.

Austin Cooke, Poundland’s chief operating officer, said: “Right across the country, our colleagues are working hard to bring their communities more value, in more places, on the items they want and need, week in, week out.

“And as we extend into exciting new categories such as chilled and frozen food and clothing, whether customers want a full shop or to top-up, we’re continuing our mission to deliver the very best value, on the items we know our customers need most.”

The announcement from Poundland comes just a week after the discouner began the roll-out of new fresh meat and fish lines sold under the cookit brand.

Its initial range includes 11 items including ribs, steaks, bacon, sausages, mince, salmon and cod fillets, starting at just £1.

Poundland has around 800 stores across the UK.
