It comes as the retailer goes through a restructuring after being sold, with 68 branches set to close by mid-October.
Shoppers can buy party banners for 10p, plus Union Jack handheld flags and a mock Valentine's Day engagement ring for 25p.
Savvy savers can also get a 12-pack of plastic tumblers for 50p, a bridesmaid paper sash for 80p and a kids bonnet for 75p.
A number of Christmas, Halloween and Easter items feature in the giant clearance sale as well.
Shoppers will find Easter Bunny party glasses for 50p, while packs of Christmas plastic baubles are just 35p.
The clearance stock is only available online with delivery charges starting from £3.95. Spends over £50 qualify for free delivery.
Of course, make sure you compare prices before buying any of the products as you might find something similar cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner are three worth visiting to check prices across the major retailers.
POUNDLAND PLOTS MASS CLOSURES
The giant sale comes as Poundland gears up to close 68 shops, as well as wind down its online operation.
The discounter was bought for a nominal £1 fee in June by US investment firm Gordon Brothers.
Five ways to save money at Poundland
As part of the deal that was struck with Pepco, which owns Poundland, Gordon Brothers is plotting a major restructuring of the business.
It has also pumped £80million of financing into the retailer.
This is what was proposed in June:
Closing 68 stores and negotiating rent reductions at a number of other locations
Getting rid of frozen food products at all stores where they're currently sold
Reducing the number of chilled food items sold
Closing its frozen and digital distribution centre in Darton, South Yorkshire, later this year
Closing its national distribution centre in Bilston, West Midlands, in early 2026
No longer selling products on its website
Providing more womenswear and seasonal ranges
The majority of these plans going ahead are subject to approval by the High Court.
However, 40 of the 68 stores have already been confirmed as closing, with plans to shut them brought forward of any High Court decision.
The 68 branches are all earmarked for closure by mid-October, with three already having shut.
Meanwhile, 37 will close in August - 10 on August 10, 15 on August 17 and 12 on August 24. That means a further 28 will shut.

Pepco, a Polish company, put Poundland up for sale in March as it looked to offload the brand.
It had reported weak Poundland sales over the previous six months and cut the brand's trading guidance for the year as a result.
Poundland revenues dropped by 6.5% to £830million for the six months to March compared with a year earlier.
The brand suffered "challenges across all categories" and had 18 net store closures over the period.
Pepco had blamed "highly challenging trading conditions" for the fall in sales.
There are currently 800 Poundland stores in operation across the UK, with plans to bring this down to 650 to 700.
This includes the list of 68 which are closing as part of the restructuring deal and other branches shutting gradually as leases expire.

British Land hires lawyers to scrutinise retail rescue deals
British Land, the FTSE 100 commercial property company, has hired lawyers to scrutinise rescue deals for the high street retailers Poundland and River Island. Sky News has learnt that Hogan Lovells, the City law firm, has been instructed by British Land to seek further information on restructuring plans that the two chains say are necessary for their survival. British Land owns 20 Poundland stores, 13 of which would see rents compromised under its restructuring plan, while it is River Island's landlord at 22 shops - seven of which would be affected. Retail industry sources said that British Land had already struck deals to re-let some of the affected Poundland sites. The company, which has a market capitalisation of ? and is one of Britain's biggest commercial landlords, is understood to have abstained on the River Island restructuring plan vote. The appointment of Hogan Lovells does not amount to a decision to formally challenge the restructurings, but that remains an option in both cases, according to industry sources. Hogan Lovells has been engaged on a string of previous challenges to retailers' rescue deals on the basis that they unfairly compromised property-owners. About 20,000 jobs would potentially be put at risk if Poundland and River Island were to collapse altogether. Both face sanctions hearings in court this month which will determine whether their rescue deals can go ahead. Even if the proposals are rubber-stamped, about 100 stores in aggregate across the two chains will be permanently closed.

Major supermarket axing 3,600 jobs after closing 17 stores
Morrisons cut 3,600 jobs after closing 17 stores last year, it's been revealed, following a rough year. The popular supermarket's workforce has plummeted from around 104,819 employees to just 101,144 as of October last year. It comes after a year of major losses in 2023, in which the shop slashed 8,800 roles due to increasing costs. In April, the closure of more than a dozen Morrisons shops also saw the end of dozens of cafes and other services. Along with hundreds of jobs, the supermarket shut two cafés and 100 other in-store services like 12 florists, four pharmacies and dozens and meat and fish counters. It's the latest in a wave of store closures that saw 13,000 shops vanish from high streets last year. It's even claimed WHSmith as a victim. Gorleston Lowestoft Road – April 16 Shenfield 214 Hutton Road – April 16 Peebles 3-5 Old Town – April 16 Poole Waterloo Estate – April 16 Tonbridge Higham Lane Est – April 16 Romsey The Cornmarket – April 16 Stewarton Lainshaw Street – April 16 Selsdon Featherbed Lane – April 16 Haxby Village – May 14 Great Barr Queslett R – April 16 Whickham Oakfield Road – April 16 Worle – April 16 Goring-By-Sea Strand Para – April 16 Woking Westfield Road – April 16 Wokingham 40 Peach Street – April 16 Exeter 51 Sidwell Street – April 16 Bath Moorland Road – April 16 Rami Baitiéh, Chief Executive of Morrisons, previously said: 'The changes… are a necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate Morrisons and enable us to focus our investment into the areas that customers really value and that can play a full part in our growth. 'Morrisons Cafés are rightly famous for their great quality well-priced food, their place in the local community and their appealing mix of traditional favourites alongside exciting new dishes. More Trending 'In most locations, the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option. 'Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.' British high streets are facing even more shop closures this year, with dozens of shops set to shut in August. Up to 17,000 shops are expected to close this year alone, according to the Centre for Retail Research.
