I've just found this thread, and love it!

If its ok to post about Charity Shops, then these are the bargains me and my daughter got last week.

2 pairs of jeans for me £1.00 each
1 pair of skinny jeans for my daughter £1.95 (M&S)
3 cross stitch books for £1.00
2 jumpers for me £3.50

We've not been around them for ages, so was really chuffed.

My OH bought a David Beckham 'My Life' hardback biography from a local charity shop after Xmas for £0.33 and it is in fantastic condition. As soon as he has read it, I'm going to put it on ebay. I noticed that someone is selling the same book (i.e. used and in good condition) on there for £6.99.

I may be popping the shop again as I noticed they had a number of other very good books in there.

Found a lovely framed original watercolour in a charity shop for 99p yesterday of a sea stack. Well pleased with my purchase. Artist looks to be (can't make out first initial) Cumming (dated 2001)

I got a huge box of BarryM nail varnishes (assorted colours) for 50p - there's about 30 varnishes in there and they all look brand new got them from a carboot near leicester. Also got lots of boxes of individual false eyelashes for £2 and a plastic dog bed for my labrador which was £1.60 and in great condition. My bf got a rabbit hutch for £3, the man originally wanted £10 but my bf brought him right down to £3.50 and the guy said 'oh, lets just round it up to £3' haha xx

Hi Saddington hasn't started yet, on their website they have March/April still on there but no actual date as yet.

Could have been Croft or Measham or even Melton Mowbray as they are all year round.

That's an impressive list!!
Thought I was doing well with my Spotlight by Warehouse black dress, BNWT at £80 for £3.50 until I read that :rotfl:

Very envious of the 1970s Gucci bag
