I was Mrs Poundland, but I stopped going when their prices went up

Sharon Carroll, known as "Mrs Poundland," reduced her purchases at Poundland when prices increased from £1, expressing concerns about both pricing and product quality. The struggling retailer was recently bought for £1, risking closure of up to 100 stores. Poundland's presence in small towns builds customer loyalty, but increased competition from other brands led to challenges. Customers like Elinor Martin and Elizabeth Gray hope Poundland overcomes its struggles as they find it convenient and budget-friendly.
