What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Stellar pans are fab. Mine are 20 years old and still great.

The pans have come up beautifully and have no marks on them. I am so pleased to find the metal cream works miracles but do advise using disposable gloves while cleaning them and an old J cloth.

Isn't it wonderful when something you really want turns up at a Charity Shop. Happy news for you.

I've been wanting a Past Times nightie for ages, and have been outbid on ebay several times. Recently an outlet CS near me had one for £1.99 almost new condition. It's very nearly my size and I like to think I'll be wearing it by autumn.

I've been looking for an inexpensive but nice lampshade from my bedroom light since I'm renting and those cheap paper lantern things are useless, they always fall to pieces when you try to dust them!

Any who, I went into Mary's Meals in Dunblane and found a brand new unused wicker-style globe lampshade for £1.50 and a drum-style black lampshade (black outside, gold interior with a chandelier pattern in black on the inside) for £2! I couldn't decide which one would look best so I bought both!

I went into The Range the other day and it turns out that (worse quality) wicker ones are selling for around £13 - bargain!

I also bought a really sturdy duck egg blue egg basket (new) for 50p. It was donated by a volunteer who said to me 'Ooh you won't get much in that I'm afraid!' - it fits 15 eggs!

Went round Worcester and Barnards Green today and can't remember what I got from where!


Floor length patterned White Stuff skirt with tie waist.


Sleeveless grey patterned White Stuff tunic top.


Have managed to put together 7 outfits for my new job (next week!!) Not bad for a scruff.

Nice one Frith. I was also in Worcester yesterday and bought a Monsoon
top £3.50 from Cancer Research.
Good luck with your new job (hope it's near a charity shop)!

I went shopping yesterday for my daughter and decided to look in the charity shops here. Our town is mostly closed and theres no clothes shops hardly

Found her new pink and purple Hitop shoes still with the original BHS sale label (should of been £18) but were ticketd as £3.99 in BHF
A white long summer dress with blue stitching for £2.99 in PDSA
A hello kitty tshirt for £1 in ty hafan shop
A hello kitty dress in Shaws trust for £1

And a red fleece for my son for £1 and a pair of black trousers for me £1 in the ty hafan shop

I will definitely make a point of going back in again as they are stocked with kids clothes but hardly anyone I know shops in them and most my 'friends' or fellow school mums 'need' the designer labels

On the lookout for a slow cooker still and a toastie maker :-)
