What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Visited my sister at the weekend and we did a quick tour of the charity shops in her town.

I was delighted to find a big basket of shells, a small basket of shells and a shell necklace all for £4.50. They'll be great for my shellcrafting. I also found two of the Pretty Ugly Mugs I collect for £1.50 each.

I balanced it out yesterday by donating two bags of clothes to the Salvation Army!

Pair of Animal jeans (this years, RRP £50) for £8 :j

That's from the new scope shop in town. They have a lot of 'younger' clothes and jeans, plus the lady in there is really nice!

I got an even better bargain at one of the clothes swaps - a Zara coat in a very fine fake fur. It's gorgeous and I am so chuffed.

I went to a one off Christmas charity shop that is on all week.

Managed to get a new real leather purse for a fiver and a Sekonda water resistant, quartz watch with gold face and leather strap still in box for £15. I am hoping I will not be allergic to the watch as clawing at your wrist every few minutes is not an elegant look!;)

I also found a fancy Noel candle for a pound which will make a nice centrepiece on the table.

Hi all,

Haven't been to the local shops for a while now, but these are a few bits ive bought this week.

*Camel coloured New Look Skinny jeans £1.99
*Next baby boy stripy t-shirt 29p
*Next baby boy jeans 49p
*Primark floral clutch purse £2.09 Brand New with tags
*George leopard print pumps £2.09

Wouldn't normally buy George or Primark, but loved the design of the pumps with the leopard print bits in heart shapes and they're really comfy. The Primark purse will be a little gift for my Mum for Xmas, I'm so poor i can't afford much for presents this year and the purse will make a lovely gift.

This week will be my last carboot sale trip of the year too it's getting far too cold and hardly any sellers anymore.Will miss going as ive had so many bargains this year, bring on springtime.

Had a trip to the Mencap charity shop and got:

a Crock-pot slow cooker for £4,
and
a Shelf pottery Dragon lamp for £5.

Last week got a 6 place setting (bowls, side plates, big plates, mugs)Biltons dinner set in a flower pattern with matching Teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl for £4
and a 60's Melaware turquoise tea set for £2
I love that place

one of the shops was having a half-price event on clothing for that day only and I bagged a leopard print fun fur (ex River Island) for my daughter for £2.50.

In another one, I bought myself a pair of Hotter shoes for £6. They are last seasons but virtually unworn - the sole is perfect & I wonder if they were just tried in the shop or at home and the purchaser had second thoughts.

And I got my mum 2 beautiful Laura Ashley lampshade for £2 each. They were too small for her bedside lamps so am on the look-out for lamp bases now

Just remembered that I got 3 baskets for 3.98 - one of the children wanted some for hampers, so hopefully will be pleased

Don't forget you can always paint the metal parts that might be in contact with your skin, with clear nail varnish to avoid any allergy problems.
