Poundstretcher Avis 

Boycott these stores, refused new polymer note . Shopping for/with with a totally blind person and their rudeness was off the scale !!
Will never shop with these again.

How can they deny they doubled prices when, after their 'sale', the sale prices are now EXACTLY the same as the standard price? Liars and fraudsters. Hopefully Trading Standard's have taken note, and will fine them again.

Absolutely horrendous store in Newtown. Staff are terrible. I tried to return a product and the child I can only assume to be the manager as aggressive and completely ignorant. What an absolute nightmare. He had no clue what he was talking about and treated me like I didn’t exist. He looked right through me. While his crony staff just watched and smirked. Seriously needs the sack!!!!! I’ve never met a more cold person in my life!!! No compassion whatsoever

Would have given zero rating complained to head office about being ripped off got a reply that showed head office don't understand the 50% and when mixed with other store offers and basically it was due there extra costs of transport etc will never shop there again avoid at all cost I was overcharged by £5.25

Not only did they hike up the prices in order to con us into thinking we were getting a 50% discount the discounted prices were more than in many other stores. Thank goodness I only bought a few items, will never shop there again.

The prices they are charging with 50% off is the original price, the ‘before price’ is a load of rubbish, complete scam, never going in again

The staff at poundstretcher didn't know if they stocked washing capsules for clothing, I had to ask and then find it myself, found Surf.Purchased lamp ( cream) as the lighting wasn't working at the council flats/ rooms on Church Road, they( Theori) wouldn't fix a light bulb straight away, they delayed for days.The lamp kept making the light bulbs not work, and I had to keep replacing the fuse?Lamp not 'purchaseable'.

What a complete rip off this is everything has been hiked up to double the price of before this promotion so it looks like your getting 50% off but actually you are paying the full original price! Shop elsewhere people you won't save anything in this shop..... bizarre!!

Visited poundstretcher to find high inflated prices already on shelf the whole spend a fiver and get all ur basket for 50,% off is a con i spent a fiver and my basket contained 8.90 . If it says on all the hype on the boards outside its 50% off when u spend 5 pounds then half of 5 is 2.50 the ad is misleading and the sales assistant was miserable aswell saying all prices were already half price. I went next door after my shop in poundstretcher and found the exact products alot chraper . Poundstretcher is a con avoid it unless u want to pay for over priced products. I wont be goin back.

Terrible way to treat customers. I shop there regularly but now they are having a 50% discount sale but the prices on the shelves are the price you pay and you do not realise this con until you have checked out. Will not be going back and more customers will be lost.

This store is confusing and deceiving the customer .
It's says on window of our store ...spend over £5 .00 and receive 50% off Ur total basket .
It's stupid way cos the goods on shelf are already reduced to 50 % they deduct it from the till and yet I had no idea the price stickers already been marked at 50 % but not until you get to till .funny way of having a sale
And one of the items I bought was damaged when I opened it up prices were broken.

bought stuff totalling £5.13...expected to pay half price at til,,,receipt had original prices totalling£10.27minus the "spend and save "amount of £5.14.paid the £5.13.
Seems dodgy doing that.

Have noticed prices have virtually doubled and then they offer 50% off £5. On most items you can get cheaper from other bargain stores if you shop carefully enough and items are in stock.

Rip off no 50% off. Only went in as advertising stated 50% off your basket at check out. But prices on the shelves are already at the 50% off price but no where did it tell me this. Got to the till and as the total seemed much higher than I had expected I asked if the 50% had been taken off - I was told yes and as there was such a big queue behind me I paid and left. Got home and checked receipt to see all the prices were 50% higher the discounted by 50% - what a rip off. Th e real prices are much the same as other discount retailers - not a bargain.

Went in cos it says 50% off your basket what a scan,there is no 50% off at all,just a big big scam,the ticket price has the discount taken off so you don't get any discount at the checkout, really put me off poundstretcher!!!

Absolute joke. 50% yet double the price. Agree with all other reviews and will be returning all my goods tomorrow.

I went into pound stretcher and bought for example Cadbury's drinking chocolate value £3. One of several purchased.
At the checkout Cadbury's drinking chocolate was £5.99. All the other prices were doubled and the 50% discount was then added which then went back to the original purchase price. A bit of a con.

SCAM. DON'T BUY FROM HERE AGAIN. SHAMEFUL. HAD TO PAY £10+ FOR STUFF THAT ADDED UP TO £5.

DON'T BE FOOLED. BOYCOTT POUNDSTRETCHER! THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR JOE LYCETT AND HIS GOT YOUR BACK TEAM!

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
