Euro, or discount shops?

Hiya all,

In the UK, as many will know, there are "pound shops" or heavily discount shops. These are very common, and are particular good in kitting your home out with glasses, knives and forks and for buying things like chocolate, etc.

I was wondering if Malta has any of these types of shops, and if so, what their names are?

Thanks,

That Tallira place was pretty bad, 50 cents for anything but it was all junk cept maybe plates, dunno lol. Nothing like a UK low-cost store. We bought some stuff at JB Stores though.

There are two types of tal lira, one does everything under a euro, the other from 2鈧� to about10鈧� for household items, sound聽 like you when to first. I brought a frying pan when first move here 4yrs ago for about 4鈧� and still going strong. But I agree they are not like uk stores, however the pasta sauce jars for 1鈧� are great in stews in this cold weather also some of markets are good for this type of thing.

HI, I know this is an old post but someone told me that there is a one euro store in Sliema and they have bought some pretty good stuff. Does anyone knows the exact location and the name?

The shop mentioned above is the Tallira store, in Gozo everything used to be 鈧�2 but now they charge different prices, I don鈥檛 know if the one in Sliema also changed.

HI thanks for your reply. I am aware of Tallira but I don't think there is one in Sliema. I was asking for similar shop in Sliema that was selling stuff for one euro.聽 The the person that bought staff from there got them earlier this year. I asked here since I believe that people that know Tal lira or as a called them "smart shoppers" will more likely know this one too.

There is a sort of 1鈧� shop, managed by orientals, sort of chinese 1 鈧� shop, but not as cheap as in other countries. I think it might be in Gzira technically speaking.
