Poundland fans 'stalk' stores for £2 product that's 'just like' Sol De Janeiro

Shoppers have said the discount products are a great alternative to branded items that can sell for much more

Poundland fans have been made aware of a potential saving to be made if they also like using Sol De Janeiro products. There are some £2 alternatives that some are claiming smell 'just like' the major brand.

Sol De Janeiro is a giant in the fragrance industry, with thousands of people picking bottles of its perfumes and body sprays up daily. But, for those who'd rather save a few pounds and extend the life of their favourite product, then Poundland could be a great alternative.

One shopper posted their findings in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group. Ali said: "Got this by email yesterday and I will be stalking my store as my girls loved the salted caramel Sol de Janeiro [alternative] previously!"

The mum added that the Body Stories range could be picked up both online and in store with further savings being made using the Poundland Perks scheme. She said: "You can get sprays and body creams for £2 instead of £2.50! I hadn’t even heard of Poundland perks until I went in today!"

Other shoppers were quick to share their excitement in the comments section. One said: "Bought the salted caramel travel set today lovely stuff and good prices."

When someone commented that they'd rather avoid a Poundland product, Ali replied: "My eldest daughter is a brand ‘snob’ and loves the SDJ stuff but this is a good substitute for when she’s at school and only uses the SDJ for more special occasions." The other person responded that her idea "made sense."

A third person wrote: "I have the originals and I honestly prefer this. Glad I've got an order in now as they'll probably sell out fast once more people know!"

Someone else claimed: "Saw these the other day. They smell lovely. Nobody would ever know it was from Poundland once you've got it on either!"

Across the Poundland website, Body Stories has a huge range of sprays, body washes and travel sets. Products start from as little as £2.50.

In other Poundland news, the store may have these summer-inspired products on the shelves but there is something festive in stores that shoppers can also enjoy. Beyond the Christmas decorations, Poundland has joined the likes of Tesco and Aldi in offering a lunchtime meal deal range.

This year, it includes two festive sandwiches. Customers building their £3 meal can pick either turkey, cranberry, and stuffing or the cheese and Christmas slaw option.
