What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

......a sweet little sherry glass for 20p. It's got little rose swags cut into it and has a grass green pedestal base.
At the moment it's holding a lily flower that fell off my Mother's Day bouquet

imho

Went to my local Jumble sale and bought a Morphy Richards bread Maker £10 and makes excellent bread .Then see a juicer for £5 paid for it then see a Magimix juicer so asked if i could buy that one instead so paid another £1.Was looking on line for a manual and see it on Amazon for £150 !!

Wow! Total bargain! I know from experience that Magimix items aren't cheap, can't believe someone was selling one for only £6!!

Is that the exact one you got, in cream? It looks really nice and stylish too!

I bought a couple of things at the weekend including a pair of flat suede boots lined with wool for £4.95 in the new Sue Ryder shop and most comfy they are too.

imho

Georgiegirl256 yeah cream one.Weighs a ton.The first juicer i picked up for £5 was just a basic juicer but looked better than the rubbish one i had at home. Didnt know when i paid another £1 to get the Magimix it cost £150 i only swapped as i just thought it was a better make.
2 brand new 2 seater sofas, they didnt look like they had even been sat on was for sale for £20 each and i went there to find a sofa for my son but thought he might not like them so didnt buy but really should have done as they would have gone nice in his room.Oh bought a Sebo vacum cleaner at the same jummie last year think its was £8 and its the best cleaner i have used.
I am really lucky with my Jumble sales as live in a posh area.

Thank you Silvasava ! I will try the steel wool if it doesn't make my teeth go on edge

Got a lovely Per Una top in my local Sue Ryder - was a bit bigger than I usually buy 'cos it was a 'clingy' fabric. Tried it on at home - lovely apart from the fact that the armholes were much to big & showed my bra
Took it back yesterday & found a nice cherry red denim jacket to replace it I think the assistant will put the top on at a higher price when it goes back though.

I had a ride out to a market town near me which is a 'posh' area and got a metal heart with beading round the outside and a bag of material for crafting total of £5. The hospice shop has undergone a revamp and the prices are now higher I use to get loads of bargains there but it was really posh and the old ladies said they felt a bit out of it now... bless em.

I was about to buy a summer shirt for DH in the BHF but at £6, thought it was a bit steep so walked away. But I did get 6 large kilner jars unused for £8 - bargain I must say

Sitting looking out of the window at big, fat snowflakes falling, this seems very silly but I've just bought a summer maxi dress in a mushroom base colour with fuchsia, turquoise, purple and lime pattern (sounds hideous but it looks lovely, and they are SOOOO my colours) and the top of the dress is trimmed with beads and sequins - for £4.00.

The bonus is that it doesn't even need taking up!
