Poundland has announced they are starting to sell engagement rings just in time for a Valentine’s proposal. A picture of a Poundland engagement ring was posted on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK with some members debating whether this is a nice gesture or too cheap.
One commenter said what a great idea this was while another suggested having the wedding reception in McDonald’s next. The intention of the ring is to have it as a promise ring while the couple can then choose a ring that they both love.

A 2017 survey done by jewelers Beaverbrooks said a quarter of men propose to their partners without a ring, out of fear of getting it wrong.
Engagement rings are expensive and can often cost up to 3 months wages. If you are planning to propose to your partner, the Poundland ring might be the way to go if you’re looking to do it on the cheap.
