Poundworld

Poundworld is a shop where everything is a pound, or two pounds, or basically somewhere that you don’t get 5ps or 10ps in change… My dream!
However, in order to recieve change, one must spend money and this in itself is difficult when everything in the shop is utter rubbish. I get discount stores and as I spent a lonely childhood in a local pound shop I feel I have special affinity with the ol’ quid shops. But there are two particular shops… the ones that you go to if you want to try and get a bargain, and then the ones that are just full of rubbish. Going by the two stars, you could probably take a punt on which category this sorry mess falls into.
The recession has hit us all (as we are told on the news) and thus discount shops have never seen their profits so sky high before, but I have walked around this shop three times, desperately searching for something I would be happy paying a pound for and I stopped short of sweets I’d never heard before and a packet of batteries which I know I would get very little use out of.
Having a position on the main street in the city centre is a bold move for a discount shop so you have to admire its grit and determination. Plus, its location guarantees it a steady stream of customers who march up and down to Primark and then back to their buses.
But truthfully there are better discount stores in Belfast and it is a shame that despite such an ideal location for a shop, the stock in it amounts to nothing but junk and rubbish.
