AFAIK, Poundtown is in Poundland, so ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
TFW your date makes the turn heading towards poundland
PSA: if you pat your brow with sweet, yeasty white bread before joining her in Poundland, you both're gonna have a bad time. ๐ซฃ
TIL the yanks have a thing called a dollar store.
Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Dollar General (where they couldn't keep prices at $1.)
5 Below - I thought would be a winter clothing/sports store, nope. $5 and below items
Ha. I would have also thought 5 below was a temp. thing.
Thereโs one a few miles from my house and I thought the same until this thread.
They opened one in Panama City Beach years ago. It's actually a decent place to bring younger kids if you have them or are hanging out with your nieces/nephews. All kinds of random things at the time.
I'm sure it's all cheap junk but if you are hanging out and want to find them some quick entertainment they have cheap pool floats/ beach stuff, marker/drawing/coloring sets, TShirts, little plush stuffed animals of things like Lilo and stitch, small Lego sets, sports balls, backyard games and even some shitty headphones and such.
Can find some activities for them for the weekend and they have fun looking around while you don't have to worry about it being expensive like if you bought a toy at Target or something.
For us it was usually things like little water guns, water balloons with fillers and big notepads and colored pencils as the kids were 4-12 years old and they loved going there. Not sure how they'll survive the tariffs though.
Don't worry. TACO.
funnily they don't have Dollar Store, that's a swedish thing
It was also just sold for ยฃ1!
That's comittment ๐ฏ
It's so interesting to see how people react to something that is so normal to me ๐คฃ
We also sometimes call it The Pound Shop.
I watch an electronics guy called Big Clive on YT and I'm always impressed by the stuff he finds at Poundland.. kinda jealous.
Theres a GREAT channel that covers poundland tat called Ashens you should check out then. Thats where I learned of it.

I always watch his buying undelivered mail ones... absolutely love that a brown chair is his studio.
Hello!
Havenโt seen that guy in years, but was one of the first YouTubers I actually followed.
He still does the same thing, just a bit less frequently. He does a lot of other stuff though, including full movies.
Two tickets, please, Iโd like to ride The Fuck Train to Poundland.
In related news, Americans wear thongs on their feet.
That would explain all the foot fetishists on onlyfans
One of my buddies has a big time thing for high heels, but only if he cant see toes because he thinks feet are disgusting.
And they don't seem to know what "gangbanger" actually means.
I know itโs gonna sound weird, but thanks to Big Clive, I am quite familiar with Poundland.
In my case it was Ashens.
We have a dog daycare center around here called Pound Town.
I don't think I'd have the heart to take my dog to poundtown ๐จ
The Yelp cover picture for Pound Town.
Somebody's gonna watch some Ashens tonight.
Someone has never watched Ashens and it shows.
This is also the name of my bedroom. :)
Are you that cheap?
I never charge. Pounding is free.
There is also the "Poundstretcher".
Last I heard about this place, it (the whole company) was sold for one pound.
Man, Europeans are so sexually mature.
I understood that reference
I just woke up and I will have a very good day all thanks to you! I will dream of this moment, this feeling of accomplishment!
Just past Fingerville
Some of my favourite UK towns/villages etc:
Would a blowout sale there be called a Fingerbang!?
There's a Poundtown Burgers in Syracuse
It's just south of Newpoundland.

How many pounds to get pounded?
Belfast has the red edition.
me and your mum went to the shops last night
I took your mother there last night. A real bargain
Dammit, I knew mummification would be a bad idea, we should've cremated her...
