Many of the traditional 100 peseta stores have kept their old names in spite of the advent of the euro. Prices have been adjusted accordingly, however.

While many of the items on offer at a 100 peseta store are of dubious quality, there are also many good bargains to be had. Visit these stores to buy basic household chemicals and cleaning materials at a cut rate. Also find plastic containers, laundry baskets and other handy storage products at discount prices. Be advised that the plastic is not top quality, but if you treat it well, it will perform quite well. Basic home office materials can also be obtained here quite cheaply.

The 100 peseta store is especially useful for those with children. Find supplies for creative projects - marking pens, crayons, coloured pencils, Plasticine and notebooks. Also find books, colour books, puzzles, paper dolls and other activity packs. Finally there are usually numerous low cost toys and games, which make great travel activities, party favours and fun prizes and rewards. However, it is important to use common sense to evaluate the safety of these toys.
