What frugal find came your way today?

Fab day as i helped a friend clear out his garage, and at the bottom of the [stacked ] garage was a brand new bath still in its wrapping!!! Have just had the house rewired and am doing it up properly, [for a change :rotfl:] and starting with the bathroom , had to get new bath as old one same age as me, 62 :eek: so, got a new bath with fittings for free, instead of £140, [price still on it!]

Yesterday I found wedding bubbles & silver balloons in Poundland for DD's wedding. Total cost £17 instead of approx three times that :T

May well have found her ideal dress on Ebay (fingers crossed)

Passed on 13 garments to the charity shop & 4 small tubes of beads to my Mum and enjoyed drying all my washing in the sun

I found a couple of pots for the allotment dumped in a bush, and a torch which still works - I'd been meaning to buy one for a while as the old one wasn't working.

Got loads of food for our BBQ in the reduced section with many bits reduced from £3 to 30p which was lovely. Friends brought round nibbles too and even though we offered them bits to take home they refused so we now have enough food for a few days!

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.
I am in the middle of spring cleaning my airing cupboards and have a pile of single duvet covers with pillow cases, patterned, Hannah Montanna, Doctor who,( my youngest dd loves DW). We won't use them as my girls have double duvets on their beds now.They are all in excellent condition. My problem is do i take them to charity shop or freecycle, i have worked in charity shops so know that stuff can hang around for a while before being sold. What would you do??
Thanks allxxx

If you stick it on freecycle your arm will be snatched off lol it wont stay around for long and someone will collect it for you.
