What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Went to a small charity shop on Saturday. Hadn't seen it before but it was amazing and the prices were reasonable.

I found a pair of Harley Davidson black jeans. Tag said £3.50 and I was more than happy to pay that. I got to the counter and the woman said oh it has a pink cross on the tag, that means its half price. So a good pair of jeans in amazing condition for £1.75! I don't know what they cost new but I know that is a bargain.

Another little gem from Cancer Research in West Bridgford today- white men's Hollister t-shirt (I have to wear the men's stuff as the women's sizes don't fit me but the men's stuff is a nice size on me) RRP £20 for £3.75 I previously bought a Hollister polo in the same shop and it has been worn to death with the tracksuit I bought in the Hollister sale at Xmas also a grey zip up Dotty P hooded cardie for £3.

It sounds like Droitwich is the place to be! Handy that one of my siblings lives there, I must have a look round.


I went to Leominster (Herefordshire) today and picked up 2 Prestige cake tins that will replace my 2 not prestigious tins. Then I got 2 Anthony Horowitz books for my older son and a paperback for me.

I got a lovely pale blue Italian silk scarf for £1.50. But dithered over some Morland sheepskin boots, just my size and looked almost new, but refuse to pay £25 for second-hand! Even though brand new they would have been a heck of a lot more! The charity shops in Ilkley are pricing themselves out these days and seem far less busy than they used to be. A shame as the charities themselves must be suffering because of it.

Pickings have mostly been slim over the last few weeks, but got a few really good bargains -
a 1950s brown wool coat with a real fur collar for £6, and a pair of lined brown leather gloves to match for £1
the complete Buffy the Vampire Slayer series DVDs for £10
but the best bargain had to be a set of Potmeirion "Dusk" china - 6 large plates, 6 bowls, 8 cups and saucers (one cup chipped), sugar bowl and milk jug and oil and vinegar set - for £15! Some items still had barcode stickers on the base, so must never have been used. I checked Ebay, and the sugar bowl and milk jug (used) are selling for £14.99 plus postage!
