Some are, like our lovely Salvation Army shop where nothing is over £1.75. The Scope shop is absolutely ridiculous lately - at the moment they've got some TopShop wrap dresses (at least 2 years old) for £12!!!!

Don't know if we have any Sally Army shops round here, may have to get the phone book out!

I love my local Sali Army

A few months back I got 2 Ikea ( poang ? ) chairs, £5quid the pair, were in almost pristine condition too.

The most I've spent in there on one item, was £10.00, which was on a American prom style dress, its absolutly gorgeous, bought it for my daughter to wear to our wedding. Sells for between £60 and £100 on ebay :j

Carboot bargains from last sunday

Footspa ( BNIB ) 1.50
Bath Jet Spa ( BNIB ) 1.00
OH got a solar airship, 1.00 looks like a huge 8meter bin bag to me

Daughter got herself,
A retro 50's style red swing dress - 50p
A whole bunch of Next/Topshop clothing 25p each

Didn't get anything that was for resale ( which is quite unusual for me lol )

OMG!!!I found my little lucky cat charm necklace in my bedroom yesterday and have been wearing it when I go bargain hunting,I think its actually working.
I went shopping again on the way home from school with the little one and spotted a coffee set in a lovely shape.I thought it was a 60,s stainless steel one but I just looked it up.Its this http://www.picquot.co.uk/order_form.html
I have the coffee pot,milk jug and sugar bowl in the current new design.
Can,t believe it.I only paid £3.30 for the lot.Definately selling those.

Wow, what a bargain, but I can assure you that I wouldn't pay their gargantuan prices - who can justify 400 odd quid for a coffee set?
Congrats :T

West coast of scotland.
I dont think the shops here have more good stuff than anywhere else its just that I look every day after dropping dd off at school so come across good stuff more often.
