Best car boot sale and charity shop bargains.

Outdoorlass

:TTop thread, I am only part way through reading it but I am loving, looking forward to redaing the rest later when the kids are in bed and I get an hour to myself:D But just wanted to add my finds from last week.

Mini Oven/Grill (brand spanking new) = £3.00 Was made up cos we camp and its perfecr for that! (would have cost £50 new)

Mini Lava Lamp (new) = £1.50

Per Una zip up cardie = 50p (only bought cos my daughter was cold, whilst there) (brill condition)

Pineapple hoodie = 50p (again. bought as daughter 2 was cold) (brill condition)

Gorgoues dress the puff ball style for my DD1 = 50p (think its designer, I dunno)

New Look canvass bag with badges on etc (brand new) = £1.00

Pair of zip up baseball boots (like Converse) = £1.00

Fashion jeweller star necklace = 10p

Gorgeous vase = 20p (has pride of place in my lounge)

Various books all 40p each, which is great as my DD1 is an avid reader and it gets expensive to buy new.

I am gutted though as the boot sale we went to last week, (newly discovered) has finished now for the season So will have to slum it at the other ones, where tbh are too big and a lot of stalls are just selling new tat. I never seem to have much luck at the charity shops around here either tbh. So I am now looking out for jumble sales/attic sales etc. I do love going the booty, found out that my MIL does too, which is great as she has a good eye for stuff and is happy to spend ages milling about:cool:

Hi everyone, today I was quite pleased, not that big but still got some great bargains:
2 Absolutely wonderful African wooden carvings, both around 1 metre tall. (I collect African stuff, such as drums and things so was ecstatic to find them for £3 for the both of them!)
The sims 2 and 9 expansions packs (all there with instructions and all working, for £5)
1Kg of lego, in a toolbox which will also get some use out of it, for £1
Mil.com boots: £2 (selling for £23.95 new on eBay)
A Marciano coat: £4 (Marciano seems to be very expensive)

Well done on everyone else's bargains!

Managed to pick a few things up today.

Got a huge box of stickle bricks for 5.00 (worth around 40.00 on e-bay but will let the girls play with them for a while).

2 Keypers (80's toys) for 50p each , worth 10.00+ each on e-bay.

3 huge boxes full of ELC Happy Land (like fisher price little people) for 15.00

And a pair of new next jeans (childrens) for 50p.

Saffronsmum - I see I'm not the only one after ELC Happy Land :-) The lady I bought mine off today said she had loads at home, I did mention giving her my phone number but she didn't take it very seriously!

I have realised that the ELC Church I bought today came with the vicar and bride, but no groom!!!! will have to keep an eye out for one otherwise she's been left at the alter :-)

My eldest daughter got some Happy Land for her 2nd birthday (she'll be 10 soon lol) now her little sister plays with it instead & it's still very well looked after. I NEVER see any in charity shops, no decent car boots local to me, and it's far too expensive to buy new all the time sadly but I did get a HUGE box full about 5 years ago advertised in local paper IIRC I paid £5 for the lot then (I would say it would have been around £200 worth!!!!!)
