Do some retailers think we are dumb....Poundland!

Don't go to Poundland but we get as much of our food from Lidl as possible (given their limited variety), because the fruit and veg is so much fresher than the big 4. And God is it cheaper!

As a self-confessed snob I used to avoid such places like the plague but having a baby and a serious dent in my bank balance means I had to change my ways. I am always scouting for a bargain now, I even go to Coventry market sometimes! ;-) 

I think Poundland can be great for craft things and if you know the prices elsewhere you can get bargains on other things. Aldi and Lidl are definitely cheaper for many everyday items, I tend to spend too much on random 'stuff' in there though! Danger!
