What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Princess, well done! I agree it's a good idea to look for other items. I have been so lucky lately getting some high end clothes in my size.

I got a lovely Highland Pottery cheese dome, just because it's beautiful and looked such a quality item, for £2.50. On checking Google to find out more about the studio, I found that cheese domes sell for £78!!! It's absolutely beautiful. Must not break it now as I so often do.

I got this Boden cardigan today for £4.99.

It was £45 originally and in as new condition so I was very chuffed.

Also got DS two lovely checked shirts from H&M for £1.49. They look unworn, and best of all he actually likes them.

Hello

Popped into one or 2 local CS's today and don't usually spot anything, but came away with a lovely Per una top for me for £4.49. It's grey chiffon with dots and ruffles which will go over my white strappy top and linen trousers for hols

Also picked up 2 x Next tops for my daughter, 1x Gap for Kids top and a dress all for 50p each.

For crafting I found a 100% lambswool jumper which I am going to felt. It was £3.50.

So a good day for me i think

I made myself a promise that I wouldn't haunt any charity shops because there's nothing that I'm in particular need of. And I have no money spare for fun spendys, even very cheap ones. That promise was broken almost immediately it was made. *sigh*

I found a very splendid pair of navy linen trousers and a sweet, palest lavender linen blouse, both for £2.99 each. And a couple of other things, not all of them for me....... Now, all I need is some warm weather so I can go out in my lovely new clothes, resplendent.

They sound lovely B&T, and I am exactly the same; I promised no more CS for a few weeks, but...:o I now have some amazing clothes (and would have even more if I worked in an office! Saw a fab suit, but didn't get as I would never have worn it.)

It's hard to pass up a bargain when it's not only in your size but your taste as well!

Mine was yesterday in Scope. My daughter has been asking for the Little Miss collection for ages to go with her Mr Men. Looking though the dresses and I hear yell Mammy quick come here (you can imagine the scene my son and daughter sitting crossed legged reading though these books.
Books were 49p each I doubled on a few and shes 2 books short of the collection (which pains me as we put some back and hate to think I left the 2 she needed behind) so for £16.66 she got 35 books a few doubles and a special edition book.
Happy happy little girl. Seen the 2 other books on ebay for 1.99 each so not too bad So sorry I was ramblerling

Having just bought a leatherbomber type jacket as a pressie for a grandson keen on Aircraft at the normal high street shop price ,We were doing our usual weekly jaunt to Bridport,40=miles from home, to enjoy the SaturdayMarket, the friendly atmosphere and chatty locals,when we did our usual dive into the charity shops and found a brand new Black bomber jacket festooned with all the American sew on badges,Airborne etc.etc. for the grand sum of a fiver. He was a bit surprised to get 2 jackets but you can guess which one he likes best.Pity I didn't find it first. My wife ,I may add, is the expert bargain spotter.
