    I'm staying away from the clothes for a while as I have too many, but I found a brand new 400ml can of Elnett Hairspray today.

    I usually pay £6-ish at Superdrug for this size - the charity shop one was only £1.50!!!
  • Realising that a lovely M&S Autograph top I got for £2.50 in a local hospice shop ages ago and finally wore to a christening on Sunday is actually 100% silk!

  • Got a hardly worn pair of grey casual boots from New Look for £4 today. These are usually about £25. At the till they had loose random toiletries and I got 3 mini shower gels for weekends away and a full size sealed Boots body butter, these were all 35p each!
    I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases I feel the possessions possess them, rather than the other way round
  • Wow some of you had got great bargains :) Mine was a per una skirt in a new charity shop for £4 very pleased.
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    That link for local charity shops only shows up four in my town. There are actually four others - small and independant ;) and cheaper by a loads usually, so just saying, it's not a definitive list.
