What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

A trip to Ludlow today.


My sons have had lots of H and M fleecy hoodies over the years. I went in last week and they have STOPPED STOCKING THEM!!!


But in Oxfam Ludlow today, one H and M hoody, grey, 13-14 size for £3.99. :-)


Also got a White Stuff purple t shirt with stylised dandelion heads on for £4.99.


Popped into St Michael's Hospice shop in Tenbury on the way home and got some Sainsburys pyjama bottoms for £3. Funny shop, though. I wanted to try on a top and there is no fitting room so they said to "go between the racks of clothes in the back room". So I did that and the 3 ladies in there made no attempt to leave the room/look the other way and infact kept pushing past me and hanging things on the rail while I was getting changed! Very odd. :-/

I've enjoyed reading this thread for a while, and you've all inspired me to look a bit closer at my local shops. Previously I'd only look at the books and dvd's, but in the past few weeks I've bought the following:

A grey Max Mara cardigan with duffle style buttons - £4.99 - Loros
Purple Principles crochet cardigan - £4.00 - Willen Hospice
Red Weird fish flowery t-shirt - £3.00 - Willen Hospice
Flowery Kaliko dress - £8.50 (which seemed a lot, but the dress fits perfectly) RSPCA
and a flowery cord Boden skirt again from RSPCA for £5.00

We only have three charity shops in my little town, and the Age UK shop seems to price its clothes very high, considering it stocks mostly M&S and supermarket ranges.

Today I picked up a lovely large teak trivet (A4 size so will hold the biggest pans), and two half litre pickling jars (one is Le Parfait), all were 50p each.

Hi everyone, long time lurker here but I had to share today's charity shop bargain (I'm still feeling giddy about it). Went to a different town nearby today to "do" the charity shops. Sat on the shelf with the toiletry gift packs was a brand new unopened, still sealed with cellophane 75ml bottle of Illamasqua Freak perfume for £3.99! (shop price £59). That will make a lovely additional gift for one of my daughters.

I also bought a perfect condition Villeroy and Boch sweet dish with a Christmas design for 99p. Love it.

As an avid charity shopper, I've picked up some lovely things over the years, my work colleagues don't know I lead a double life! (they'd turn their noses up!)

I adore charity shopping

I buy gifts. For my dad for Christmas I got a 3/4 length grey wool Pierre Cardin smart work coat. £30
For my bil last year a gorgeous leather jacket for £10.

One of our charity shops had a £1 sale so I bought two dresses and eight tops.

I have been on the lookout for a long, thick dressing gown since the weather changed. Saw just the thing whilst on a break in Kendal this week. £2.99, ankle length and snuggly fleece. Happy!

Delighted with yesterday's find - £7 for a pair of Jigsaw 100% wool trousers, and they had clearly barely been worn (or just very well looked after)! :-)

Got a beautiful evening dress plus matching bag -£18.50 for both!! Got two posh dinners to go to, so that's me sorted. Got a contrasting wrap for £1.99 today, just chucked it in the washing machine-job done!!

I needed a shirt for my 13 year old for a christening and a nice bowl to put fruit salad in. I managed to get a nice shirt and 2 glass fruit bowls for a total of £5.50. I was very pleased. Even better, my 13 year old likes the shirt.
