Bought a packet of Rice Krispies Squares from the £1 shop then saw packets in "M" supermarket for 99p. |

There are lots of things out there to trick you. Its a good idea to look at the weight as well as the price, as there are so many variations. |

On a TV programme the pound shops admitted that some of their items were lower weight. As long as we know I don't see that it matters. Sometimes for example a box of chocolates will be a pound for a box lighter than those sold elsewhere But to some people it will be a good buy gettins some of the chocs they like for less. |

The tiniest tins of baked beans are in the pound shop. Just the size I need. |

I just assumed the pound shops were for a higher class of shopper than the 99p shop. |

Most major manufacturers now produce specials of their best sellers just for the £1 shops. |

As with the baked beans, sometimes the smaller portion is all that you need and doesn't leave you with a bit hanging about. |
