In search of a bargain ...the pound in your pocket goes a long way here

I meant to post a shot from a Ruby walk today...I took a few pics of the local football on St. Mary's park, but the murky grey misty morning meant the images were far too grainy and noisy.

So you have a pic from our trip to Newark on Trent yesterday.

This is the 99p shop, undercutting 'Poundland' by a penny.

We've bought a Ruby toy in here before and I got some antibacterial hand gel for use in the office....well modern offices, with 'hot desking', keyboards and mice etc. are so dirty these days.

Posted in monochrome, to give the shot a gritty urban feel.

From the 99p store we went to Waitrose ...... different ends of the shopping experience one might say.


Great shot

great shot! i recently bought a toilette scrub brush from a 99 cent store. i don't know if 99cents and 99pounds is similar, but i'm guessing it is.

Love the way those people entering the shop are doing so with determination, marching in! And like the whole feel to this, with the busy windows. We combine Aldi with Waitrose!

Have to scrimp so we can afford Waitrose!!! Great B&W

I reckon this would also look good in gaudy colour! I went to 99p store and then waitrose in my lunch hour today - both fab shops for different reasons!

cool shot -love that a pound shop is next to a 99p shop! and even more that you then went to Waitrose! I love Waitrose!

Hahaa - there will be a 98p shop next! And you're right about filthy offices. Spent a fortune in Waitrose this week :0( !

Trouble is- although everything is cheap you can easily spend a lot of pounds in there!
