    3 brand new eye shadows still in their box - 30p (Had a £7 price label on the box!)
    Magic 8 ball - 10p
    Brand new lamp - £1.95

    Love hearing about everyone else's bargains!!
  • Visiting family in Bourne which has a few chaz shops and picked up a new pair of work trousers for £1 off the sale rail. Autonomy they are, not sure if that is a good brand or not but they fit great. My little girl got some books. :T
    I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases I feel the possessions possess them, rather than the other way round
  • Hi all, not exactly CS but from a WI jumble today I got:
    old fashioned rotary whisk
    large plastic fishing box
    brand new compact mirror with "Lucy" on
    2 x brand new kelloggs cornflakes bowl with straws
    all for £2.50
    and 8 items of clothing for £2.10, including a gorgeous girls Monsoon dress.
    And a very happy me, lol. x
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    I have only been in charity shops looking for something if I had fancy dress party to go to/with my mum!! However DS who is hard up student has started going to charity shops and car boot sales, yesterday she got a pair of brand new brown leather flatties for £3, she had seen them in T0psh0p before christmas for £18, she is very pleased and it has spurred me on.
    Thoughts to all. Mrs D.

    This week I picked up a sewing box like this for £2.50 http://www.sewessential.co.uk/largeimage.asp?ProductID=GB156L&ProductName=Light%20Cantilever%20Sewing%20Box. It's in a very 'well loved' state and is currently in pieces on my table having a shabby chic makeover.
  • Wow, what fantastic finds we've all had today! I love that sewing box Nicnax! And starsandmoon - I have an Autonomy jacket (bought from a CS of course!) and it is lovely.. I've not heard of them either but they make good clothes!!

    I have wanted one for ages and ages but didn't want to pay the £8.50 plus each they usually cost.
