Spent a whole £2 in the chazza shops this week :eek:

50p for a Country Casuals jersey top in a mink colour.

50p on a scarf with a magnetic clasp that makes it into a loop wot you wind twice round your neck( ??!). In shades of raspberry pink and mink...looks good with the above.

£1 on a B/N, M & S swim suit with a proper bra doofer thingy, in purple and white fuzzy stripes.

Where abouts are you? Wouldn't get anything for those prices where I live.
Well done.

It's a Sue Ryder Hospice chazza sale, actually held at a hospice and they have a fab 50p rail. Everything else is really cheap too. Sales are twice a week for just a couple of hours and can get very crowded. It's been going for a long time and some regulars have been going for 20+ years. It's as much a social thing too as they have a cafe.

A pair of gorgeous raspberry pink per una cargo zip-off trouser/shorts in Dr B for £1.99. There's no feature around the bottom of the legs so just right for a shortie like me as I'm always having to take things up.

Yayy, have found a dress for the doo I have to go to soon. £8.50 for a floor length Debnams debut gown (and its hand washable!). Tried it on in the shop and then again when I got home. It will give me an incentive to lose a few pounds, but it fits pretty good already - just got to get shoes, a bag and work out how to do my hair, nails and make up now. Yayyyyy!!!! :T:T:T

You say that, I actually emailed Barnardo's to let them know how ridiculously overpriced the merchandise at a particular branch is. That is because staff are completely out of touch and assume that the locals can afford it. The giveaway is that something should not be more expensive used and on sale at a CS than unused from a regular retail store. The clues are out there, guys!

I was hunting through the odds and sods basket in a Barnardo's and came across 3 medium size Kipling bags, all immaculate and clearly unused. Got them for £4.99 each - checked Ebay and the cheapest one, secondhand, was £35! :T

I have one of these- mines a cross body bag and was a birthday present. I believe it cost around the £60 mark so you've done well there
