Lots of chewing gum - £1

Nutri Grains - £1

You jest, but I was in Poundland the other day and they had stuff on sale for £5 and £10.  I couldn't believe my eyes

Battery powered fairy lights for dressing a tent / yourself at night 

[Mattty]

Yeah there was stuff for £2 and £1.50 earlier. Bastards. 

[Room to sway]

Nuts!

They do ones that taste just like Crunchy Nut Cornflakes that went down very well last year. Taking loads more this year. Not sure of the name exactly but I think they're sesame caramel or something like that.

I picked up some extra tent pegs and a portable charger (probably naff but oh well).

I was looking at those earlier and I think they charge up your phone to like a tenth of what the Anker ones do, so that makes it a reasonably good deal I think

That's reminded me to dig a couple of sets out of the loft.

Just been there myself.  Luggage tags, hand sanitiser, wetwipes, torch batteries, skins, lighters, sorted!

It's not a festival without a trip to poundland for a load of useful(and useless) things!

I've got a few bits but will do another run tonight, can't resist it!

Went yesterday and got a tent lamp and three bags of Haribo. 20% extra free in the Haribo.

Forgot to get batteries, but I don't want to go back. My nearest Poundland is fucking grim even by Poundland standards.

Balls, just bought a camping pillow.

What is the one from poundland like?

[big__phil]

Doing mine tomorrow. Will get lighters, skins, chewing gum and loads of crap I don't need.

Top tip - buy a load of lighters from Poundland and give them away to anyone who asks to borrow one.

Top tip 2 - when buying lighters make sure they actually have lighter fluid in them!

I got a tarp, some new tent pegs, a hanging led tent lamp, carabiners, cheapy ponchos and some dubious looking 'memory foam' insoles. Got to love a poundland shop.

[cornish hick]

going there after work.

pegs, tags, sanitiser, wipes, hat, biscuit bars and anything that falls in my basket.

Are these safe if wet? 

[Michaels denim shorts]

They're only powered by 2x AAs mate I imagine the worst that can happen is they stop working

If they're from Poundland they're probably not even safe dry.

We are NOT going to get wet

This year just tent pegs and ear plugs so far. Will be making another stop off before now and leaving.

Bought in previous years and still going strong are (at least) tent pegs, glow sticks, a camping mug, A folding camping stool and a rubber mallet.

Bought and decided "rubbish", were the big water bottles (have had two, both leaked) and the inflatable camping pillows (same problem).

It's just 10 led tree lights on a circuit with a AA battery port, not really a lot to go drastically wrong. Maybe put the battery pack bit In a sealed plastic bag if you are worried.

My mate has loads of em in his house, they all still work from last years fest when he got dressed up in them by some randomers, & came back to camp looking like a Christmas tree

Mini glitterball for the tent - £1

Inflatable, can't imagine it lasting the whole week to be honest

[rpfranks]

don't forget the tent peg extractor!

[Woffy]

Just walked out of the one in Newbury. 

No space blankets, FFS.
