The essentials delivery service where nearly everything costs £1

If you've been to the supermarket recently, you'll probably agree that it's not the most relaxing experience in the world.

Asda, Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons customers are experiencing long waits, with customers limited to one person per household allowed to enter many stores - something which has proven stressful for many.

Others aren't so lucky to be able to get to the supermarket, and rely on delivery services to get essentials to their homes.

But as a result, many people have been turning to Poundshop.com - a site brimming with essentials where many things cost as little as £1.

Shoppers can find hundreds of branded products on the site, with everything from toilet rolls and tea bags, to soap, antibacterial hand gel and garden items.

Products are available in the following categories:

  • Food and Drink
  • Health and Beauty
  • Household
  • Gardening
  • Home Living
  • Kids & Toys
  • Pets
  • Summer Essentials

But the low price tag doesn't mean compromising on quality. There are some brilliant brands available, including cult cleaning brand Elbow Grease, Kellog's, Colgate, Vaseline and hair care brand Aussie.

You'll also find goodies from Dove, Crayola, Cadbury, Radox and The Pink Stuff.

There is currently a minimum spend of £30, and delivery starts £4.95 for standard service across the UK.

Due to increased demand the website warns that delivery could take an average of 15 days, but the company will try to get your items to you as quickly as possible.
