The Marmite one being a prime example of it, showing the best value per 100g is found away from Poundland. Something which applies to a lot of products found there.

Lidl and Aldi have very minimal massive brands in comparison to major supermarket chains so they're really irrelevant to the argument. I think Lidl sell Pepsi at 25p per can. This is merely the Home Bargains and B&M Scenario.

The outcome is simple.

Poundland isn't as great as people quickly assume. Home Bargains and B&M are great shops if it suits you, there's no denying that, just explained the reasons behind their pricing, they cannot offer the same space and quantity as a supermarket though but I find myself in them quite often.
