What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Thrifted a Lainey Keogh knit cardigan (an Irish designer) today for €6, and a Fran & Jane pinafore for €9 (Irish boutique, this would have originally sold for €130-150 I reckon) ... neither are really my style but the pinafore especially was a good buy as I'm beginning to buy more sensible office appropriate clothes as I job hunt.

Yesterday - pair of Clarks casual loafer-style shoes for OH, £1.50 (Action Against Animal Cruelty shop - best c/shop in town for giveaway prices). Good condition, look hardly worn. Checked online and although they aren't available from Clarks now, eBay sellers of similar ones say RRP would be £89.99!

In the same shop, a Tupperware oval bowl set, in four parts - main bowl (could use for serving salads), shallower bowl that I'm not sure what it's for, insert with holes in for defrosting, and a lid. Cost me 40p. I had one when I was first married in the 70s, when Tupperware parties were all the rage, and it cost me about £12 even then! That one went a bit stained over the years and got thrown out eventually, but this one looks good as new.

Today - two black rain hats, brand new still with Florence & Fred £5 & £5.75 tags on, in the £1 rummage basket in Cancer Research. Tesco must have donated a load of stuff as there was all sorts in there, so good for them :beer:.

Someone asked earlier about finding out where charity shops are located.

This is dead useful if you're ever in a new area and want to look for some bargains http://www.charityretail.org.uk/locator.php :j

Even if you have no intention of buying - a browse of stock and prices can tell you if you are in a good area. on the other hand, you know that you are in trouble if you can't afford the local chazzer!

Three white Fenn Wright Manson almost new 500 thread count Egyptian cotton pillowcases for 50p each. I bought the double duvet set to match a few years ago and even in TKMaxx it was £40.00 (RRP was about £70)

A nice glass cheese dome and wooden board thing - just what I wanted - still boxed and looks like it has never been used; possibly someone's wedding present from the 70's/80's - £2.50.
