The weird and wonderful items you can buy in Cardiff for a quid, including sex toys and viagra
One pound can go a long way, take note Alfie Deyes
Everyone loves a good bargain, especially us students. And one place you can always rely on finding one is in the famous one pound shop, also known as Poundland. After doing some searching, we thought it would be interesting to find the most ludicrous items you can buy there for just a pound, as most of us are only familiar with their sweet aisle and washing up liquid.
From pet food to protein powder, and sex toys to fake boobs, our resident discount store down Queen Street in Cardiff is full of weird and wacky products. Here's a list of what you can get your hands on.
Sex toys
It's hard to believe, but Poundland have released their own brand of sex toys called "Nooky", including "vibrating love eggs", "joy rings" and "finger stimulators". Gone are the days of having to fork out for expensive bits of plastic. These bargain buys come with no hazard warnings, but should probably only be used at your own risk.
Face massagers
Let exam and deadline stress melt away with this bizarre looking massage device. You know, just in case it's giving you face ache.
Sexual stimulant pills
You've heard of viagra, but have you ever heard of "Nooky" stimulant pills? These bad boys are designed to stimulate anyone who's having trouble with their labido. They'd make a funny secret Santa gift but we're yet to find out if they work.
Pay as you go SIM cards
If you don't fancy the risk of breaking your phone on a night out or at a festival, head to Poundland for one of these SIM cards and stick it in an old phone. They'll instantly remind you of the nostalgic days of having to go to the supermarket to top your credit up.
Novelty boobs
Who knows why you might need this, but if you do, you know where to find it.
Cocktail shaker and accessories kit
Why go to Spoons for a pitcher when you can bring the cocktails home for just a quid? You even get umbrellas.
Christmas hits CDs
The same Christmas songs have been on repeat since the 1970s, so just in case you can't get enough of them, stock up, or give them as gifts to the older people in your family who still own CD players.
Amy Childs' autobiography
This is the answer to a Christmas gift for every TOWIE lover in your life. It is an informative account of the life of the nations sweetheart.
Mario Falcone body wash
It seems that Amy Childs isn't the only TOWIE star to line the Poundland shelves. You can now smell reem like Mario for just a quid. The packaging isn't too bad either.
A screwdriver set
They're a really random purchase for the average student, but may come in handy for the unlikely time that you decide to fix something yourself, rather than calling your landlord out.
Pet food
If anyone has successfully smuggled a dog into their student house, this pet food is for you. Even better, if you're thinking of getting a pet whilst at uni, you can do it on a budget.
Phone chargers
For the heartbreaking moment when you realise your Apple charger is completely messed up.
So after this experience, we can assure you that a quid can go a long way, and you never know when you're going to need some of these vital things.
