If anyone either works in a high street store or for a charity and know where we can buy our favourite brands cheaply please let us all know.I will add them all to this post.

I will start with M&S who donate their 'per una' end of season to PDSA.

*M&S Per Una at PDSA shops
*M&S at OXFAM shops

    oxfam in witney have currently got samples from karen millen silk underwear and oasis mainly underwear. All small booby sizes though! Lots of medium knickers and thongs. Have also seen clothes samples from whistles and some other good brands but my mind has gone blank.
  • New Life in Cannock get gear from Karen Millen, Monsoon, Principles, M&S and River Island.

    Florence & Fred clothes in a local charity chain in N Ireland - Drop Inn - included bags, shoes and, last winter, cashmere jumpers for £15. Theey were only in a few branches.. They've also had Ben Sherman stuff in the past.

    Oxfam here have had C & A bras recently - all D/E cup - at £2.99, labels for 12.95 euros, plus the H & M stuff regularly, some M & S.

    Simon Community shop in Newtownards last summer had an entire rail of Primark clothes, plus lots of gloves last winter (good for me as I'm forever losing single gloves, so bought several identical pairs for what I'd usually pay for one!)
