    So glad to find this thread. Throughout the week I start looking forward to my Sunday car boot fix! None of my family can understand it and tease me for getting up at 6am on a Sunday but I love It!!
    Some recent bargains:

    Genuine Chanel loose face Powder (New) £4
    Genuine Chanel Blusher (New) £3
    50ml Anais Anais new and sealed £3
    Next Handbag £1
    Laura ashley cookies cutters in tin (new and Sealed) £1
    GHD Conditioner (new) £1
    Christian Dior Foundation (New) £2

    Glad ther are lots of others who get such a buzz from this,was beginning to think I was a bit Weird!!

    Hope we all get some bargains this weekend!

    My husband also thinks I am mad to want to rummage through other people's "rubbish", as he calls it, early on a Sunday morning!

    Great buys, by the way, I am jealous of the Anais Anais, mine is about to run out (it's my favourite perfume) and I can't afford to buy more at the moment:(

    Heatwave starts this weekend:cool:, so we can all get out there bargain hunting - happy rummaging!

    This Sunday I bought a lovely vintage dress to wear to the races with my friends this summer - just £4 and its classic Audrey Hepburn style. Shame its black as I don't normally wear black but its lovely so will brighten it up with some fab accessories

    I also got some shoe storage racks for under the beds at 50p each - one still in the box, the other new without a box
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    You would never believe what have i seen today in charity shop-Amazon Kindle with charger,carry bag,instructions and in excellent condition!Price-well £50.00-I would say not THAT high.Did I buy it-it was really tempting but no as the manager told me it's american and I need to buy an adapter-and I'm(let's say)not very good with gadgets.
    I bought an Ipod clasic from the very same charity shop couple months ago as I know the stuff they are selling is good and if you have any problems they give you a full refund.
    But anyway-giving Kindle to charity shop-what do you think?

    bargai, ide get it if i had 50 notes to spare

    Went to my local jumble sale yesterday and got a Irobot vacuum cleaner the ones that clean on its own.Was told by the guy behind the table he knows who owned it and they have only used it twice and cost £300 i got it for £45 bargain as a friend has always wanted one .I see one for sale last year for £30 in same jumble sale but never thought to get it. Only had £40 on me so had to ask him to keep it for 15 mns while i searched for my friend to borrow more cash from . I was only 10 mins and 3 people wanted to buy it if i didnt come back in the 15 mins, and 1 guy was waiting there hoping i didnt turn up.

    So, are you going to try asking people what they've got in their bags?!;)
