The store is somewhat off the beaten path in an industrial area to the east of Newcastle. For…read morefolks without a car, the bus or Metro will literally drop you off next to the parking lot. The shop is like any factory store in the states. The front end is all first run merchandise at full UK MSRP pricing - zero bargains to be had there. The back portion is all outlet stuff that is discounted anywhere from 30% (most common) to 50% to 70%. You'll have to hunt through stuff in this section and it can be overwhelming. The sizing is well marked, but stuff tends to get jumbled up, hence the hunting. The staff are polite and try to help, but they seemed to be overwhelmed as well during our visit. You might want to take cash with you as the time we visited their card readers were down. They apparently aren't always good about warning to this and we spent an hour shopping and selecting things to buy before we were told cash only which was very frustrating!!! There is an off-site cash machine available that's a 10 minute walk away (and the staff is all too eager to direct you to it), but it's limited to £250 per transaction. Due to this we walked away from our experience at the store empty handed and unhappy. The bottom line is that unless you are a Barbour fanatic and are looking to make a pilgrimage, or you're looking for a recently discontinued item, there is little reason to visit this place unless you simply run out of other places to visit. You can get the first run items from legit Barbour retailers in the UK at the same price, (or less if you shop on-line.) For US customers, buying at a UK retailer can save you some money depending on the exchange rate, but keep in mind that a $400 jacket eats into your free customs declaration pretty fast. In addition, bulky wax coated jackets might push your luggage weights over the limits in which case the savings is lost due to baggage surcharges. Also, e-Bay retailers in the states can get you the exact same items for an equivalent value to or slightly better than UK pricing.

A chav in a grey tracksuit shoved loads of cans of RightGuard deodorant down his top, then paid for a can of coke at the till.

The other lad was then seen outside dropping off the deodorant and other stollen goods to a beggar sitting on the street outside McDonalds who had carrier bags full of stuff hidden under a blanket. If it's so easy for me to spot, why can't the management see it as well.

This branch of Poundland is located in intu Eldon Square, fairly close to Old Eldon Square and it…read moreis basically inside the Bus Station, from the outside the store does look quite nice and a little bit modern, but as you go in, it begins to become more average, typical and uninspiring and pretty much an average Poundland. The selection of drinks is limited, the pricing was quite good, they mainly sold cans and things like that however, I'm normally a person who prefers drinks in bottles, plastic or glass rather than cans which I find to be a frustrating mess. The store its-self had some items for decent value, some for not, and some items which in my opinion were just junk. There was a decent amount of space in the store for movement, a little more than the average Pound Shop normally has which was decent. The location is also good being inside the bus station making it one of the easier places to grab a drink before you get on the bus, with prices probably cheaper than Waitrose nearby, albeit a poorer selection and a greater selection than Boots also in the same building, which only sells Coca Cola in Diet and Regular, unless you go up onto the main level of the store. Location mainly earns an extra star, this store deserves two stars in my opinion as it is okay, yet in all below average and the stores slight modern features and location at least warrant a two star rating.

Well well, what can I say about Poundland? Firstly it goes without saying that everything is £1,…read moreaha. Funny aren't I ;) but seriously, I have heard people asking sales assistants how much things are Anyway, Poundland do sell some absolute rubbish but there also diamonds to be found. They sell loads of computer components that sell for £8+ in other shops. they sell tons of branded cosmetics (I saw Rimmel foundations and eye pencils last time I was in) and shampoos that are £2 elsewhere so are worth stocking up on! Also they have lots of things that would make awesome stocking fillers for kids and their friends, such as Bratz and Harry Potten moneyboxes which sell for £5+ elsewhere. Their decorations are good quality too, and cheap and cheerful - important given the current financial climate as you need to stretch the pennies! So many people are snobby and shun these kinds of shops for selling tat, but if you actually keep your eyes peeled you can save a lot of money by shopping there for your toiletries and other home essentials.
