I noticed in our town that things in the charity shops are getting really a lot more expensive - even not really very good makes. We live in a little village about 5 miles out of town and they cs there is much better. That sounds really tight doesn't it? But we are on a budget and I wonder if it has affected turnover?

No I totally agree - now that charity shops are a lot more popular, I think the chain ones especially are raising their prices, unfairly in some cases to be honest! There's a CS in my town, full of old ladies who volunteer mainly for the gossip i think because I've found them quite rude, and they have the same things there for months. Mostly because they consider a musty, dated jacket worth €40! They had an old telephone (90s old and well used) for €20!!!

I desperately needed a replacement for my tatty, old, warm, and very comfy trainers which are falling apart rapidly and I found these today



Princely sum of £6!! Really chuffed with them and they are so comfy.

Coo! Those boots are really cute. A fabulous bargain at six quid if they're leather. I want!

Visited a sue Ryder cs where we are staying on holiday to see if we could pick up a clock for dd (7) as no clock in her room so she keeps waking us at 5am. Saw a wall clock and went over to inspect small orange sticker to find out price. After straining to read it dh and I looked at each other and laughed.... It said NOT FOR SALE!

Pleased with my bargains as like the poster above was saying some shops are getting so expensive that it is silly. Although childerns stuff seems to be reasonable even in a lot of the expensive places

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I got 4 M&S bikinis and one Camille one, all BNWT and in my bust size (quite large cups, smallish back) for £10.00 at Save the Children.

OK, so maybe I didn't really need 5 more bikinis but one bikini top in M&S would have have cost more than a tenner.
