    Not had a bargain for weeks, but yesterday I found a Phase Eight Spring/Autumn weight short jacket, still with the spare button in an envelope attached to the label for £2.50 (from our local hospice shop). Fits me perfectly.

    Plus 2 pair of M&S 100% linen ('Love Linen') trousers with elastic webbing on the back of the waistband for £3.25 each. Black & purple and both look little worn, the circular paper examination stickers are still on the labels.


    ETA - jacket is vry similar to this one:

    Love that jacket
  • I was back in the St Gemma's 99p shop in Otley this week. Found a few decent bargains - brand new white Next shirt, which will serve DS well for work, a couple of skirts for myself and also a Next necklace. Not bad for just short of £4 for the lot!

  • My best bargains this week were ...

    A pair of Steve Madden black knee high leather boots, look as if they've been worn about twice, from the 'everything for £1.99' Barnardo's shop

    and

    A beautiful beige M&S linen suit for my 14 year old son, looks brand new, £4.50 from the Devon Air Ambulance Shop.

    Hi all :)

    I haven't been shopping for a few weeks as i've been on holiday in Cornwall. My partner hates charity shopping or any kind of shopping really, so i didn't get to have a look around the Cornish charity shops unfortunately.

    I managed to sneak away to the carboot this morning though and got some fab bargains.

    Loads of clothes for DS for 50p each including Ted Baker jeans and t-shirt.
    Johnnie B floral vest £1.50
    Fat Face blue super soft cardigan 50p
    Next yellow shirt with white crotchet trim £1.50

    Suze :)

    Kidderminster this morning: Soft grey Per Una Tshirt with "swirl" design on from Kemp Hospice and a lovely green Per Una light cotton top in green from Oxfam. Both as new and £3 each.
    Normal people worry me.

    Wow, Floss, that's a pretty good haul. :T

    Jealous of the Monsoon dress & M&S cashmere sweater. :p

    I have a load of stuff to take to my local Hospice shop tomorrow morning.
