  • Went into a neighbouring small town today and looked in the local Hospice shop.
    Came straight out when I saw a (donated - not new) Country Casual linen shirt for ...... £20 :eek:
    Checked the price again - yup, I got it right!
    Normal people worry me.
  • I've had two great bargains this week. This morning I bought a pair of Per Una Roma jeans that fit perfectly (I need size 10 long leg which are hard to come by) for £1.99 in Barnardo's. On Monday I bought another pair of jeans this time from Age UK for £3.99. These were a brand I'd never heard of before: Not Your Daughter's Jeans. When I looked online they are at least £140!!!! :eek: They look new too.

    Yesterday from Bewdley I got bigger son and Animal T shirt with a camper van and got myself an UNOPENED Oasis CD from 1995!

    And Bewdley is where I saw the £20 linen shirt I mentioned!

    Very jealous - love NYDJs!
  • After seeing a pair of roxy boots for £20 :eek: in one charity shop, was very happy with a monsoon tea dress for £3.50, thank goodness some shops are keeping realistic prices!

    I tend to find it's the more 'local' charity shops that price better, the nation chains are the ones who seem to overprice.

    I think that must be an American make. I follow a blogger in America and she is always raving about them:p
  • It's my lucky week! Got another pair of Per Una jeans today. £2.99 in Barnardo's in Winton. :j
