Pound shops, Dollar Stores, call them what you will, have become ubiquitous in recent years. Furthermore the public’s attitude towards them has radically changed. Where in the past snobbery may well have kept certain socio-economic groups away, it now seems that everyone is happy to use such outlets in search of a bargain. I frequent them regularly for toiletries, kitchen and bathroom cleaning products as well as tinned foods. Most products are well known named brands and the prices just cannot be ignored. Pound shops can also be a fascinating source of curious and esoteric items. I discovered such a product today.
