Poundland is selling 100s of items from just 10p ahead of 37 stores closing in August starting in days
The discounter is offering shoppers some major bargains on toiletries, kids' toys and pet products in a giant clearance sale.
It comes as the retailer goes through a restructuring after being sold, with 68 branches set to close by mid-October.
Shoppers can buy party banners for 10p, plus Union Jack handheld flags and a mock Valentine's Day engagement ring for 25p.
Savvy savers can also get a 12-pack of plastic tumblers for 50p, a bridesmaid paper sash for 80p and a kids bonnet for 75p.
A number of Christmas, Halloween and Easter items feature in the giant clearance sale as well.
Shoppers will find Easter Bunny party glasses for 50p, while packs of Christmas plastic baubles are just 35p.
The clearance stock is only available online with delivery charges starting from £3.95. Spends over £50 qualify for free delivery.
Of course, make sure you compare prices before buying any of the products as you might find something similar cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner are three worth visiting to check prices across the major retailers.
POUNDLAND PLOTS MASS CLOSURES
The giant sale comes as Poundland gears up to close 68 shops, as well as wind down its online operation.
The discounter was bought for a nominal £1 fee in June by US investment firm Gordon Brothers.
Five ways to save money at Poundland
As part of the deal that was struck with Pepco, which owns Poundland, Gordon Brothers is plotting a major restructuring of the business.
It has also pumped £80million of financing into the retailer.
This is what was proposed in June:
Closing 68 stores and negotiating rent reductions at a number of other locations
Getting rid of frozen food products at all stores where they're currently sold
Reducing the number of chilled food items sold
Closing its frozen and digital distribution centre in Darton, South Yorkshire, later this year
Closing its national distribution centre in Bilston, West Midlands, in early 2026
No longer selling products on its website
Providing more womenswear and seasonal ranges
The majority of these plans going ahead are subject to approval by the High Court.
However, 40 of the 68 stores have already been confirmed as closing, with plans to shut them brought forward of any High Court decision.
The 68 branches are all earmarked for closure by mid-October, with three already having shut.
Meanwhile, 37 will close in August - 10 on August 10, 15 on August 17 and 12 on August 24. That means a further 28 will shut.

Pepco, a Polish company, put Poundland up for sale in March as it looked to offload the brand.
It had reported weak Poundland sales over the previous six months and cut the brand's trading guidance for the year as a result.
Poundland revenues dropped by 6.5% to £830million for the six months to March compared with a year earlier.
The brand suffered "challenges across all categories" and had 18 net store closures over the period.
Pepco had blamed "highly challenging trading conditions" for the fall in sales.
There are currently 800 Poundland stores in operation across the UK, with plans to bring this down to 650 to 700.
This includes the list of 68 which are closing as part of the restructuring deal and other branches shutting gradually as leases expire.

Nissan begins talks with union to cut jobs at European regional office
TOKYO, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor (7201.T), opens new tab has begun negotiations with the union representing staff at its European regional office about changes that will include job losses, according to a company document and internal emails. The struggling Japanese automaker, which has embarked on a major restructuring, confirmed it has entered consultations with staff representatives at Nissan Automotive Europe, its regional office in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France, which has around 560 staff. The office, which also oversees Nissan's operations for Africa, the Middle East, India and Oceania, is set to undergo major changes, according to a person with knowledge of the issue who declined to be identified. Management and the union agreed to discuss voluntary redundancies before any forced layoffs, the document seen by Reuters showed. Talks are expected to conclude by October 20, with full details to be shared with staff in November, the document and the emails said. "We are working diligently and respectfully with all parties to ensure that this process is conducted with care, transparency and in full compliance with legal requirements," Massimiliano Messina, Nissan's vice chairperson for the region, said in a July 31 email. Messina also said in the email that no decisions had yet been made. After taking the helm in April, CEO Ivan Espinosa announced a sweeping restructuring that includes cutting about 15% of Nissan's workforce, slashing global production capacity by nearly 30% to 2.5 million vehicles and the number of its manufacturing sites to 10 from 17. The automaker, which has seen weak sales in China and the U.S. compound pain brought on from an expansionist strategy, hopes to save 500 billion yen ($3.4 billion) with the restructuring. In recent developments, Nissan said last week it would stop output at its Civac plant in Mexico by March next year. It also said it will end car production at its Oppama plant in Japan by March 2028 and at Nissan-Shatai's (7222.T), opens new tab Shonan factory by March 2027. The automaker employs nearly 19,000 people across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India and Oceania, with close to 60% based in Europe, according to a diversity report published in October 2024.

The BMW iX3 is about to make a BIG comeback
An 800V electrical architecture will mean the iX3's battery will also be able to charge at up to 400kW, enabling a 218-mile top-up in just 10 minutes from suitable chargers. Two powertrains will be available when the iX3 arrives in the UK early next year: a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive one and a dual-motor, four-wheel drive one that can deliver up to 402bhp. The second-generation iX3 also receives a new computing system that is 10 times faster than the network of chips in current BMWs. In addition, to maximise interior space within this set-up and to keep vehicle height as low as possible to aid aerodynamics, BMW will unusually bolt the front seats directly to the pack – another first for the firm. Visually, the new iX3 will draw on the original Neue Klasse models from the 1960s and return to small kidney grilles rather than the bolder, more expansive front ends that adorn the likes of the iX. The double-kidney grille will divide a large, gloss black panel on the iX3's front end – similar in style to the Vizor found on Vauxhalls. The panel is likely to conceal the sensors and cameras required by the latest generation of driver assistance systems. The rest of the car will feature a boxier, more chiselled look than today's models, with angled lights front and rear, plus a rear light bar. The reinvention continues inside the iX3, which will be the fi rst car to employ BMW's new iDrive X system.

The village pub I run is being taxed to death
At 5pm on Saturday, my pub sat empty. The beer garden was open, the sun was shining – yet there was not a single punter to serve. If you didn't know already that Britain's pubs are in crisis, then this sorry sight would have hammered home the catastrophic impact of Rachel Reeves's tax raid. For the hospitality industry, we've never seen a situation quite as bad as this. As well as an apocalyptic backdrop of soaring costs and rising levies, landlords are also battling an unprecedented shift in consumer behaviour. Families no long view a pit stop at the pub as an everyday social activity, but rather as a special treat. And I don't blame them. When the average price of a pint rose above £5, we crossed a psychological threshold that turned what used to be one of Britain's favourite pastimes into a luxury. No landlord wants to raise prices, but it is now the only way for us to recoup costs and survive in the face of higher taxes. Somehow, the Westminster elite is yet to grasp all of this. Despite the devastating effects of the Chancellor's National Insurance increase, there is talk of further tax rises this autumn. This would not only seal the fate of many more pubs and restaurants across the UK but also further unravel the country's social fabric. The pub was once a place to enjoy each other's company. A hub where people of all backgrounds could come to congregate, socialise and get out of the house. But tax rises have ripped that apart, as hard-up households choose the cheaper option of staying at home instead of popping out for a drink and a chat. Whatever we do to attract customers, visits keep falling – as people just aren't using the pub in the same way as old. I was confronted with this depressing reality at The Wonston Arms on Saturday afternoon. Despite our award-winning status, which includes being named Camra National Pub of the Year in 2018 and recently being awarded Hampshire's best boozer by The Telegraph, we did not have a single customer. In my 10 years running the pub, which is wet-led and does not serve food, I'd never experienced anything like it. It was one of the most shocking moments in what has been a dreadful year for the industry – one dominated by closures and job losses. Since the Chancellor's Budget, I have tried to strip all unnecessary costs from the business in the hope of putting us on a stable financial footing. I've got rid of Sky TV, scaled back our weekly opening hours from 35 to 27 and gone from having three full-time staff to running the pub myself, occasionally with the help of my wife and the odd part-timer. The volatility of trading and our ballooning tax bill have made it impossible for us to hire in the same way we used to. We're not alone. Every single landlord I speak to is now saying that costs are unbearable. And the worst thing is that we can't say everything is going to be alright next weekend, or the weekend after that. Trading in the hospitality industry today means survival, not success. This is why I am calling on the Government to cut VAT for hospitality in the next Budget. Avoid the temptation of tax rises and give us a reason to invest. No one in this game is here to sit still. We all want to grow, attract more business and strengthen our ties to the local community. I invite Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves to personally come down to my pub to see how hard people like me are working. For all the pictures of politicians pulling pints and the countless promises to save Britain's pubs, it is now time for them to show they mean it.
