AFAIK only Poundland itself. Boots usually has film on a BOGOHP basis that works out not far off a fiver a film, and you can't often do much better than that, except for Macodirect.de, where minimum order and delivery costs mean they are worth while for larger orders only.
Ahh! Cheers.It's not at all bad... a couple of years ago we did an Agfa Vista Challenge, the results are here and give a good idea of what you can get...
opened an poundland special when i was out wednesday and the film inside was not agfa branded, it was a purple colour, looked like the kind of thing i used to take out of throw away cameras when i worked in Klick years ago Expiry was nov 2017
H'mm on the box it will say made in the EU or Japan
it says Japan
Ah interesting. i think all the poundland film i have says japan, whatever that means. think this is my 3rd or 4th film, my first purple special
That depends on how much profit Poundland currently make. And it might well be in Fuji's/Agfa's financial interest to sell at a lower price to Poundland in order to keep production levels up and thus profits higher.Just thought:- the £ is down and if it stays down, will Poundland still be able to import Vista and sell at a profit..as Dell have increased their prices by 10%
Every foot of shelf space in every shop there is has to earn it's keep. If Poundland put film on a shelf, it is because it is making the required profit, not because anyone complained about it not being there.
The owner of Poundland is a hard-nosed businessman, not a philanthropist.
Great big pile of it in Wakey poundland today, 100 rolls at least, I of course bought deoderant, cotton buds and plastic razors instead....lol
I reckon they're just a rebranded no-name battery like a lot of items in discount shops. I think people assume a known brand will be better than an alternative although I'd be surprised.
Trying out their Kodak AA batteries 12 for £1...h'mm do Kodak make batteries other than film.....also was amazed the price of 9v batteries on ebay etc so trying out their 9v ones @ 2 for a £1
Keep a close eye on those Kodak batteries as I have had AA ones leak on me that were still in their packet. Have also had them leak in the missus Scholl foot sander.Trying out their Kodak AA batteries 12 for £1...h'mm do Kodak make batteries other than film.....also was amazed the price of 9v batteries on ebay etc so trying out their 9v ones @ 2 for a £1

I know Poundland and Poundstretcher are different companies, but I still wouldn't touch poundshop batteries with a bargepole

Well if the officials checked on poundstretcher why didn't they check Poundland...also once the boss of Poundland had seen the massive fine surely he would ensure their batteries for sale are of better quality or at least import them from a reliable source. h'mm but David said his ones leaked so Poundland have\are getting away with it.
As it says in the article I posted, Poundstretcher were told to stop selling them and continued to do so - that's why the fine was big. It's best not to assume good faith here.

It occurs to me that the post-Brexit collapse of the pound will have killed Poundland's margins. I'd be surprised if they could afford to carry on selling a roll of film for a pound.
Of course, that could be said for pretty much every single thing in their stores, so maybe Poundland will have to become Poundthirtyland.
