I wanted new drinking glasses but spotted stylish vases in Poundland instead – you’d never know, they’re a bargain too
MUGS and glasses are something we use every single day, so chances are they’ll have received a few knocks or chips over time.
But, if you’re looking to replenish your drinkware, then you may just want to listen up…
That’s because a savvy shopper has revealed the genius way she nabbed some super stylish ones for cheap, from none other than Poundland – and they cost just £1 each.
The delighted woman took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared a snap of the bargain buys which feature an eye-catching ribbed effect.
However, not all was as it seemed…
The woman revealed that the glasses were not actually designed for that purpose, as she actually found them in the vase section of the store.
Alongside the image, she penned: “Recently bought some ribbed glass coffee mugs and wanted some drinking glasses to match.”
She went on to say how she’d spotted the set of ‘4 Ribber Hi Ball glasses’ on Habitat but noted how they were a bit out of her price range.

“Coming in a bit pricey at roughly £17 for 4 I was going to wait for a bit before buying some,” she continued.
“Found these in Poundland in the home section today.
“Labelled as a vase and on the receipt as a vase.
“Was on the shelf next to a much larger ribbed vase. But you defo wouldn’t know they were a vase if they were placed in the kitchen section.
“I’m pretty impressed as they seem like thick glass and I’ve saved myself some decent pennies.”
The post has since garnered hundreds of likes and comments, with many quick to praise the shopper’s genius solution.
“Love it! wrote one.
A second penned: “Also have these proper glasses in clear and smoked black in B&M for £2.”
A third commented: “Poundland has some really good stuff! I wanted some small ramekins dishes to put a small cheesecake mixture in and I found a pack of 3 for £1 in Poundland.
“I’m quite impressed with them.”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “Loooove these!”
