But this wasn't always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir On March 31 of the year, Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer's archives recall as a 'shopping frenzy.' The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at 'pre-war prices' was one of the factors cited for the buzz. During the chaos a window was forced in and Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience. Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn't caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe: 118 in the Republic of Ireland, 15 in Northern Ireland Five

FATHER'S Day is on Sunday and if you haven't got a gift yet, it could actually work in your favour.

Also discounted were beer bottle gift bags, themed mugs and beer openers. They wrote on the Facebook group 'Some nice little bits to get from the kids.' More on Father's Day Her post has racked up numerous likes, from fellow bargain hunters. However, some made the joke about the 'best dad' items being put in the clearance section. One commented: 'Says it all really.' Another added: 'They never have appropriate gifts for the deadbeat dads! Most read in Fabulous 'Always just amazing dad and superheroes.' Father's Day is on Sunday, June 15 and there are a number of free or small cost activities to guarantee your dad has the best time. Home Bargains launches Father's Day gifts in store & there's a £5.99 present shoppers are already snapping up There are many places across the country that are giving dads free entry for one day only.

An ex employee on Poundland's prices Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp. She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually. In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1. Holly uploaded her video with the caption "I heard this a lot" as she said: 'POV: Not everything's £1 in Poundland'. Holly explained that customers would often say to her: 'But this is the pound shop, is it not?' "That's very misleading, I'll only pay for that if it's a pound.' 'Disgusting, what a rip off."
