Poundland is selling things for MORE than £1… but denies the price hike is anything to do with Brexit

The shop has things which cost as much as £10 but insists it still offers value for money

YOU probably think you know where you are when it comes to Poundland, the clue is in the name after all.

Or maybe not... because a Twitter user has posted a picture which people are finding VERY disturbing.

It's a poster which was put up in his local shop, which warns customers that times are changing.

"We now sell some amazing value products that cost more than £1," it reads.

"If you have any queries in relation to use selling products over £1, please ask for the store manager in store."

It was shared online by Bryan Roberts, who was quick to point out what he thought was to blame for the shocking decision - Brexit.

"Looks like it's finally official from Poundland #Brexit," he wrote.

Unsure whether to believe this is really happening? Well sorry to break to it you, but another user had pretty conclusive proof.

 

That's right, Poundland is now selling things for as much as a tenner.

There seems to be some confusion about the shop's pricing scheme, with some people saying it's been selling items for more than a quid for ages.

Apparently it's dependent on where you live, with stores in some parts of the country offering deals on bulk items which means they cost a bit more.

Adding even more confusion is this shot by Twitter user Andy, which shows things being sold at LESS than a pound.

 

He jokingly shared the poster along with the caption: "We even have 70p/80p/90p this week."

Prompting the reply from Bryan: "B***** hell. It's total anarchy."

In all seriousness, Poundland has denied the new pricing scheme has anything to do with Brexit.
