Poundstretcher Anmeldelser 

My wife and I have shopped at Pound Stretcher in Gosport for many years. On a recent trip we noticed they were offering 50% discount on all items after a £5 spend.
We often purchase dehumidifiers that cost approximately 70 pence each. They had packs of six shown as £5. Thinking this was the full price we picked up four packs of dehumidifiers and two jars of Nescafe coffee listed as £4.50.
After deductions I was expecting to pay £14.50 but the till showed £29. I informed the young girl, serving, she had made a mistake but she insisted it was the correct amount and that the deductions were on the prices shown. The argument got heated and the manager came over and also concurred the prices were correct. I informed him Nescafe coffee does not cost £9 anywhere and that dehumidifiers had never been £10 for six. He informed us he had no control over the prices.
We purchased two of the packs of dehumidifiers for £10 which was about the normal cost and left with no intention of shopping there again.
This is just a blatant scam with prices artificially inflated so they may offer this fraudulent promotion.

I went to Sheerness store they have put theprices up by double before the 50% offer the flavouredwater was 79p the all of a sudden they went up more than double so did thereothewr stock
spendover 5 pound to save 50% what a takeon

ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL SCAM . They do take 50% once it's all gone through the till the trouble is the have signage stating the price of the product AFTER the discount without doubt their legal team has found a loophole to allow this. I WILL NEVER shop at pound land ever again. The only thing missing at the till was masks on the staff (who have a very clear 'script'). Don't Go In you will think you got a bargain in reality you will be paying full price plus. ie on shelf Roundup is marked at £4 so obv you think it's £2 at the till nope £4 is the price simple con I have no doubt somewhere an explanation of pricing is there but it's small and well hidden. AVOID THE PLACE & Save some cash

Echo everything already said. Shameful trying to take advantage of people in difficult times when money is tight. No doubt lawyers have made sure it is “legally” inside the rules, but morally reprehensible. I will never shop there again. May gain in the short term but long term they are sealing their fate of failure… despicable

I have always shopped at pound stretcher but will never enter a store of theirs again!!

50% off? Total con! Everything has doubled in price before they apply the so called 50% discount.

They obviously think the public are stupid

I have just been shopping at poundstretchers & saw posters all over their shopfronts with spend 5 pounds & get 50% off I thought I had items totalling 6.90 & I would get 50`% of this price,therefore I was amazed that the total on the receipt was 13.69.I queried the bill & got told that the prices on bill were the ones that they had to put in their tills.THEY ARE NOT GIVING ANY DISCOUNTS As they are doubling their prices at the till.

They have a 50% off sale, Ive been.coming here years. I know for a fact they have increased prices by 50%-150% pre sale, some items are still pricemarked 69p but listed at 1.25. The shops are untidy and unclean i would say theyre on thier way out behind Wilko's
THIER "SALE" IS OFFENSIVE

Appalling rip off. They have doubled prices to sell to you with 50% off. You end up paying MORE than anywhere else. Avoid like the plague.
This is one shop that deserves to go the way of the dodo

WOW,does Poundstrecher honestly think the public are stupid,Double 99% of all stock and then declare half price sale.The marketing team have simply destroyed the company.I give them 6months before total colapse.The poor shop staff are at the front line of this outstanding misleading con,i will now boycot from now on.Hope this helps.

I bought extra stong bin bags, had to throw them out , they were thin as paper, bought tolit rolls we used them but they were like sandpiper rubbish, bought dishwasher tables they went in the bin ,kitchen rolls were not too bad, but I could have bought them some where else cheaper. Will not be going back 😡

Sorry to have say that the sale offering 50% off everything is scandalous. Virtually everything in the store I visited today is marked at an absurdly high price. For example the Miracle Grow plant food is marked at a full retail price of £9 discounted to £4.50. The local Waitrose store just 200m away has the identical product for full retail price of £4.50 with a further 25% off. Avoid this trader.

Complete rip off.It says 50% off your total basket at the checkout.The ticket price on the item says one price and when you get your receipt its double the price and then 50%off.very deceiving.

It feels very much like they have increased the prices for their 50% off event this weekend.
Very disappointed and won't be shopping there again as this feels very much like a cheat on their customers.

I would give zero stars if I could. The 50%off sale is a fraud and rip off. The price of most items has been increased. At the checkout I was offered biscuits at 75p. I expected then to be half that price, nope, the 'real' price was £1.50! I would never have considered them at that price.
I shall never shop there again, they are liars and fraudsters! Their business should fail!

The 50%off your total shop when you spend £5.00 or more is very miss leading! I felt cheated!!

Poundstretcher 50% what lies I bought regularly dog ​​treats for 4.99 now they made 6.99 surf liquid detergent they made£16.00 where everywhere is 9.99 I couldn’t believe it!
Before you buy anything in this store, think about whether the blanket before the sale cost 9.99 and now it costs 15.00 they have very low-quality product and they are unprofessional liars honestly

This store is no different to Poundland the same garbage for one use and they want to rip off our money as if you were buying at Harrods

No thank you

50% off sale yeh right more like we will raise the prices even above RRP for
Some products and then slap on a fake 50% off sale. A store close to me even had the cheek to use the wording “closing down sale, everything 50% off the marked retail price. Shame on you, I hope your business fails

This so called '50% off sale' will be the death of Poundstretcher. People have very long memories and don't like being taken for mugs. Where are Trading Standards when you need them?

CROOKS

RAISED PRICES 100% only to claim sales 50% off

Don’t shop at this retailer I have reported them to trading standards for this illegal practice

I'm no fool, the 50% off sale is a complete scam! Prices of everything increased by 50% then if you spend more than £5 you get 50% off. Dohh you take people for fools they wont shop with you again simples!
