Poundland launches range of reusable face masks at £5 for three

Poundland has launched a range of reusable face masks at £5 for a pack of three.

Wearing face coverings in shops has been mandatory in Scotland since 10 July and will be in England from 24 July. Poundland added the masks so people could “continue to shop in style”, the variety discounter said on Facebook.

The cotton masks come in a range of designs, including one patterned with unicorns and hearts.

Poundland joins a number of supermarkets including Aldi, Asda, Co-op, Iceland, Tesco, and Waitrose in selling face coverings.

Iceland’s quickly sold out while the Co-op’s became its bestselling products within days of launching at the end of May, out-selling everyday essentials like milk.

Superdrug and B&M are also selling masks, which have been compulsory on public transport in England since 12 June.
