As Poundland looks set to close yet another store after it’s already shut 51 this year, one YouTuber shares how she was blown away when she visited a Poundland store for the very first time
A YouTube star has revealed how she visited Poundland for the first time and was left surprised by the products on offer – in particular one department.
Cara, who runs the Magic Geekdom YouTube channel – which boasts more than 77,000 subscribers – told her viewers how she visited a Poundland store for the first time and was blown away by the clothing department.
The influencer updates her followers on her travels around the UK and says the size of the clothes department really shocked her when she compared it to a similar US chain called Dollar Tree.
“I’ve never actually gone shopping in a Poundland,” she said. “There’s a whole clothing department I was not expecting. I feel like in the US our Dollar Trees do not have this many clothes. It comes as Poundland announces major price rule.

“I was not expecting a whole section of clothes, like this is huge. Do you see this? This whole clothing section is giving Primark.
“I’m just curious. I don’t think I’m going to buy anything but I did see some slippers I thought were cute. It’s so loud in here.”
And the YouTuber seemed to be impressed with what products were on offer compared to what one might expect to find in a Dollar Tree store in the USA. Cara added: “I don’t know, I’m going to say, and granted a dollar costs less than a pound. I mean a pound is worth more than a dollar.
“These seem like better quality things than you would find at the dollar tree in the US. I think you would be hard pressed to find a set of kitchen utensils for that cheap in the US.
“The sign says there are over 1,500 items that are a pound or less. They do have a little bit of everything here don’t they. The car station area, they’ve got a bike pump.”
Cara’s travel videos have proved popular, in another video she claims she discovered the UK’s ‘most overlooked city’ as a visit there left her stunned.
Apparantly she couldn’t contain her excitement when she went to Leeds. She expressed her surprise at the beauty of the city, highlighting Leeds City Museum as a prime example of the city’s allure.
The YouTuber said: “This was my very first time in Leeds and it completely blew me away! I didn’t know much about the city going in, but after a full day exploring its stunning arcades, fascinating museums, delicious food spots, and lively streets, I can honestly say Leeds is one of the most overlooked cities I’ve visited so far in the UK.
