    Today I got one of those scarfy/necklacey thingumidoos with the dangly bits on the ends for 50p (IYKWIM:o)

    Also got a lovely Per Una woolly, tweedy, long, cross cut skirt in autumnal colours...great for winter for £2.75 :)
  • Hi Everyone, I usually only read this thread, but had to tell you about my bargain today. In the Red Cross shop I found a whole stack of Dolls House magazines for 30p each! As a newly-converted addict I was delighted, as these magazines now cost anything from £3.99 upwards. I spent £4.80 on 16 of them, so they'll give me a couple of hours reading and maybe even some ideas for my dolls house.

    I got a new to me two seater recliner sofa today from local charity shop. For the bargain price of £95 incl delivery. I thought it was a good deal, I've been looking out for a small recliner sofa for a while.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
  • I just saw an Edina Ronay cardi, 1/2 price at £2.49 outside a hospice shop, but I thought it looked horrible and I def wouldnt have worn it.

    Got home and had a quick squint at the website......£200 to £300 new!!!

    Popped in to our local Salvation Army shop with some bags today, and got a beautiful Phase 8 dress which will be perfect for work for £8.99! My mother in law had give me £30 for my birthday yesterday, and I know that she will be thrilled that I got both this and a pair of leather shoes ( reduced from £40 to £20 in M & S outlet) with her money
  • Have been looking for a coat with a funnel neck for ages. Had a cs trawl yesterday and found an italian wool coat in french navy ..and a funnel neck! Cost £9.99 and both the pockets were still stitched closed. Bargain!

    A friend went into a local charity shop this week and bought a pair of brand new Per Una jeans. When she got them home she felt they were a bit too short (fallen out with her sox ;) so she brought them round for me as I'm a good 3" shorter than her. She refused to take any money but as I was making some bread I gave her a loaf. So my bnwt Per Una stretch jeans cost me about 30p. That's what I call the bargain of the week!

    Picked up this set: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Duralex-9-pc-Lys-Stackable-Clear-Bowls-0200-/121174014722?pt=Cookware&hash=item1c3688bb02 for £7 today, I know I don't really need them, but the small sized bowls are so cute! (though no idea what practical use they could have) and I have plenty of Duralex alongside my Pyrex, I'm pretty sure it's the leading/comparative French brand. :)
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
