I’m famous for spending the most in Poundland EVER – now I’ve headed back for a huge haul, the new decorations are cute
A SHOPPER who spent an eye-watering £500 at Poundland a week has shared some of the latest bargains to land on the shelves at the popular retailer.
Liyana Leena, from Birmingham, first went viral after staff in Poundland claimed they had never seen anyone spend so much at the tills.
In fact, the love for the discount store was so out of control that one Christmas saw the 33-year-old buy one of every item from the their seasonal range, leaving her with a massive bill totalling £491.60.
Since then, Liyana has been sharing shopping hauls on her YouTube channel, Liyana Lifestyle, which boasts 14k subscribers.
The homeware fan recently popped into the local Poundland again and posted a video demonstrating the bits she’d got her hands on – and if you love autumn, keep on reading.
Amongst some of her favourite items of the monster haul, she said in the video, was an oven glove with an adorable pumpkin print.
”I thought this was really good, it’s so well-designed. The colours look really lovely too.”
Speaking of the orange tone buy, the bargain hunter went on: ”It looks high-end, so I really wouldn’t have thought that this would be in Poundland.”
Another affordable find she had stumbled across – and snapped up – was pumpkin-inspired string lights in gold, as well as a lush velvet decoration in a shape of mini pumpkin – ideal for those obsessed with Halloween.
”I always have to pick these up,” she chuckled, adding, ”I’ve got got a bunch of them from Home Bargains.”
Meanwhile, if you enjoy autumn-inspired beverages, such as Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte that you can make at home, then Poundland’s new drinking jars with a straw are a must.
Whilst shopping, Liyana had bagged two pumpkin-shaped jars – one with an orange ombre effect and other with black elements.
”I think they’re really good for £1.50.”
For children and parties, the discount retailer is now also offering a Pin The Hat On the Pumpkin game that’s suitable for up to nine players, as well as stick-on Flying Bats for decorating your home.
Although she had noticed other stores selling a similar product, the 33-year-old reckoned that at £1.50 Poundland’s version was probably ”the cheapest option”.
Other must-have decorations and party essentials included a two-pack of paper pumpkins, a massive pumpkin balloon, a ten-pack paper plates with a Halloween theme and different masks, such as a wolf one.
According to Liyana, the store runs their collections in so-called phases – and there will be a second autumn range coming in soon.
Fellow fans of the bargain retailer raced to comments, where one said: ”Ooh lots of goodies there.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Hi Hun, I got the tea towel & oven gloves , they didn’t much in our Poundland.”
”I was lucky enough to grab two glass light up pumpkins weeks ago,” another penned.
