Hey Thrifty! I live in the grotty West Midlands. Most people only seem to want Primark or River Island footballer's wives type-gear, leaving all the vintage/designer bargains for me!

I'm liking your bargains, too. That 1975 Vogue mag sounds just up my street. I recently bought a book called "House Proud" which has some amazing thifty tips for customising furniture and it has a great idea for making placemats from vintage Vogue covers. xx0 -
Picked up a twice used electric breast pump today for £2.
Beat them down from £4 as they wanted rid.
RRP £50Who made hogs and dogs and frogs?

Wow, Goanmad,you're good at this bargain hunting lark.
Best thing I've had, I think, was a pair of oak Art Deco book-ends carved in the shape of hares, for £1.25.
When I went to pay,I was told the charity shop had had them for ages, but were saving them for Easter!One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other0 -

Several dresses, including Ghost, Monsoon etc around 50p-£2.
