An American woman visiting the UK documented her first trip to budget high street retailer Poundland – and was left stunned by what she found in the store.
Cara, who hails from Portland, Oregon, shares a love of British culture with her partner Jeremy – so much so that they’ve dedicated an entire YouTube channel to highlighting some of the best food, views and hidden gems the nation has to offer.
Since their initial visit in 2018, the couple have travelled to Britain a handful of times, capturing along the way the moments they tried iconic dishes, such as fish and chips, and popular eateries, like Toby Carvery and Greggs, for the first time.
In a video uploaded to their channel The Magic Geekdom in August, Cara couldn’t contain her shock after making her first trip to Poundland, where she was blown away by the variety of goods that aren’t commonly found in Dollar Tree stores back home.
Dollar Tree is considered one of the most popular discount retail chains in North America, offering a wide range of items, such as groceries, toys, hardware, party supplies, household goods and seasonal decorations.
However, Cara was left impressed by a number additional products sold in Poundland – namely its Pepco clothing section.
She recorded herself wide-eyed as she took in the endless rails of socks, underwear, t-shirts, coats, shoes, nightwear and accessories.
The content creator gushed: ‘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. This is huge! The clothing section is giving Primark.’

The chilled food left Cara less than impressed – but overall the experience was ‘pretty fun’
Speaking to the camera, she asked viewers whether Poundland clothes were good quality after admitting she already had her eye on a pair of ‘cute’ fluffy slippers.
Making her way to the home goods aisle, she noticed a full cutlery set on display for £3 and added that it would be more difficult to find a similar set in the U.S. sold at the same price point.
She then moved on to the DIY and hardware aisle, where she spotted a much larger range of tools, paintbrushes and other items on display than those found in American discount stores.
However, she was let down by the stationary and crafts aisle, where the lack of variation in gel pens, pencils and felt-tips was ‘not as exciting’ as she’d hoped.
Cara also added that in the chilled food section, the produce did not appear to be the ‘best of quality.’
Concluding her visit, she said: ‘Poundland has so many surprising items and brands that the whole experience was pretty fun, especially because they have seasonal summer items right now.’
It comes as another American tourist who visited Wetherspoons for the first time has revealed his shock over the budget boozer’s ‘ridiculous’ menu prices.
Joel Simpson, who goes by ItsJPS on YouTube, shared his trip to the UK this month, where he spent the majority of his week-long break in London and Brighton.

Towards the tail end of his trip, the content creator decided to stop by Yorkshire, where he toured the scenic moors of the Yorkshire Dales and marvelled at the historic Durham Cathedral.
Accompanied by three British friends, Joel decided to seal his visit to the north with a meal at Wetherspoons, which he excitedly admitted he was trying out for the first time.
A video uploaded to his channel shows the group heading into The Postern Gate, one of the chain’s five York venues, before taking their seats and ordering from the menu.
The following scenes shows a hearty spread of loaded chips, 10 chicken wings and a pepperoni pizza, which Joel said was all purchased for £15.
