An American YouTube vlogger popped into Poundland for the first time and was absolutely gobsmacked by what she discovered in one particular section.

Cara, who operates the Magic Geekdom channel with over 77,000 subscribers, regularly keeps her audience informed about her adventures across the UK.

One quintessentially British experience she'd never had was browsing the legendary high street bargain retailer Poundland, but that all changed in her most recent video update.

It was the sheer scale of the clothing section that truly astounded Cara as she drew comparisons with a comparable American chain called Dollar Tree.

She exclaimed: "I've never actually gone shopping in a Poundland. 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," reports the Mirror.

"I was not expecting a whole section of clothes, like this is huge. Do you see this? This whole clothing section is giving Primark. I'm just curious. I don't think I'm going to buy anything but I did see some slippers I thought were cute. It's so loud in here."

Poundland launched in 1990 and now operates more than 800 outlets.

The content creator devoted considerable time exploring the discount retailer, wandering through the aisles whilst contrasting the merchandise available with what you'd typically encounter in an American Dollar Tree.

Cara remarked: "I don't know, I'm going to say, and granted a dollar costs less than a pound. I mean a pound is worth more than a dollar.

"These seem like better quality things than you would find at the Dollar Tree in the US. I think you would be hard pressed to find a set of kitchen utensils for that cheap in the US. The sign says there are over 1,500 items that are a pound or less.

"They do have a little bit of everything here don't they. The car station area, they've got a bike pump."

In a separate video, Cara declared she had uncovered the UK's 'most underrated city' after a visit left her absolutely gobsmacked. She couldn't hide her delight during her trip to Leeds.

She voiced her astonishment at the city's splendour, spotting Leeds City Museum as a perfect illustration of the city's charm.

The content creator revealed: "This was my very first time in Leeds and it completely blew me away! I didn't know much about the city going in, but after a full day exploring its stunning arcades, fascinating museums, delicious food spots, and lively streets, I can honestly say Leeds is one of the most overlooked cities I've visited so far in the UK.

"From beautiful architecture to incredible markets and independent shops, this city has so much to offer."
