Every few weeks I have to change buses at a certain stop and it's right by a Scope shop. Everything in there is £1 on the clothing racks and I always have a quick look.
I am making tote bags out of t-shirts for my daughter's school's PTA to sell for fundraising and I found 2 perfect tshirts...one even says 'shopaholic' on the front!!

In the last week I've bought a lovely Per Una maxi dress in pink & purple jersey - the really nice quality that 'bounces' IYSWIM. £7.99 from Lighthouse (not really sure what this charity shop does but we have a few in our area), maybe a bit pricey but I know this dress sold for £39.50.

Also an unworn (or at least unwashed as they still have the tiny paper circle on the label) pair of M&S pale grey 100% linen trousers with a fine white stripe. £2.50 from RSPCA.

Every so often I just like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to all those people who buy lots of clothes then donate them to charity shops so us MSE-ers can get such great bargains. :T

Are you from Poole by any chance? If so, I think it's a Centre for the Arts....I googled it, I was curious! :rotfl:

Very true! You would not believe how many NWT clothes I see in charity shops nowadays too, there's some good quality stuff to be had!

Nowhere near Poole, LOL, North Derbyshire.
Next time I go in I'll have to take more notice of what/who they are supporting or ask a volunteer.
They tend to be a bit on the expensive side for clothes but I did buy an almost new Tripp suitcase a while ago for £7.50.

A pair of Ray-ban sunglasses for me for £1.25. I am so pleased as I really needed some sunglasses and these ones are perfect
Not a charity shop find but an ebay one; our Rayburn that we got for £150 and it works!
It is now fitted and doing it's job beautifully

Ah lol! It was the first thing that came up on google! I've never heard of them before?

I find a lot of charity shops are a lot more expensive than they used to be. They're more aware of how much an item is worth etc.

I went in about 4 shops yesterday, and came out with nothing

(Had to correct the autocorrect, it corrected 'with nothing' to 'itching' :rotfl:)
