Best Car Boot, Charity Shop and Jumble Sale Bargains - New Thread 4/10/09

ramenkid

I started my first treasure hunt of this year last weekend, went to a local table top sale & car boot sale.

Got loads of bargains:

For £22, I got various brands of expensive skincare products. They are: Origins Perfect World eye serum, Origins Perfect World face serum, L’Occitane hand cream, L’Occitane brightening Serum, Utima II Face Mask, 2 x travel size Dior wrinkle crème. All are new & sealed, in full size. All these would cost around £170.

£1.50 for 3 DVD’s. One of the dvds I got for boyfriend has got 4 films in (A fu-kung collections with Bruce Lee's & Jackie Chan’s films). So there are 6 films to watch.

£6 for 11 tops mostly from Topshop & River Island & one each from Orion London & Firetrap. All in good styles (not plain design or basic jerseys) & in good condition. The lady was selling her daughter’s clothes for 50p a piece! I was the first person looking at her stuff & got the best pieces!

£1 for 4 bottles of herbs & spice. All sealed & new. Cost £1 - £1.60 each in supermarket.

So I spent about £30 on a big pile of stuff. I'm a happy bunny!

Hi Monkeypuzzle!

I tend to go to the Cannock ones (not too much of a trip for you) but the Hams Hall one on a saturday is also really good.

Thanks goanmad, you had a fab haul there, the London car boot sales aren't as good, but I know Hams Hall so I'll try and go next time I'm on a visit!

Went to a boot fair near my in laws on sunday and I must say it wasnt as good as the one near my house! But I did manage to get my son some Disney Cars cars (if that makes sense lol) I got a bundle of 4 for 10p!! All in all spent about a £2 on his cars and then the bargan of the day was a booster seat for meal times (the type that straps to the dining room chair) for £1!!
Roll on Sunday so I can go to the one near my house! I was really looking for a small plastic table and chair for my son so hopefully I can track one down there!

well i'm back from visiting my mum and my childhood home...very glad to be back. no finds at all in the CS's except I sorted out mums garage and i found a heap of old vintage tins, an old porcelain plate stand and some vintage ephemera for my crafting and best of all a brass post office tag for my keyring to remind me of my dad .

Everyone has been finding sooo many bargains...well done, I am jealous.
