A MAJOR bargain chain will slash the price of nearly 900 essentials to just £1 or less next week in a new year boost for shoppers. Poundland is increasing the number of items which cost £1 or less from around 1,500 to almost 2,400 in all its UK stores on Tuesday.

The lower prices will apply to a range of products including batteries, bleach, bread and Biscoff biscuits. The move is the next major step in its promise to deliver amazing value to customers. Across Poundland’s core range of around 5,000 items, about half will now cost £1 or less.
The news comes after Poundland cut the cost of key everyday essentials such as milk, bread, sugar and eggs before Christmas. These items can all be picked up for £1 and are price-locked so their cost should not increase. The discount chain also added fresh produce stands to more than 520 of its stores to sell everyday essentials such as apples and oranges for £1.
Poundland commercial director CJ Antal-Smith said the high street chain will do all it can to deliver the promise of amazing value to its customers. He said: “According to the Bank of England, Poundland should be £2.42-land today, based on the way inflation has risen since it opened its first store 35 years ago.
“But Poundland is all about defying inflation and delivering amazing value and our customers are being very clear that they need us to be at our best in 2025 in the face of continued pressure on household budgets.”. Homeware will be one of the main ranges to have its prices cut.
