In the UK we have poundland which is the same idea. To be honest I love it. I get protein bars, chewing gum, cans of coke, milk and sweets cheaper than anywhere

- robjan 5y agoFrom what I understand, a lot of the Poundland goods are grey market parallel traded goods. e.g. Colgate toothpaste manufactured in the UK but intended to be distributed in Poland. The manufacturer often sells them at a lower margin in lower income markets because some money is better than none.
