Not a brilliant week this week...bargain wise

Just found a pair of B/N John Rocha chino-type trousers with turn ups in a sort of minky colour £2 in the Hospice Charity Shop

Also, in the odds and ends box I found a pack of those heel thingies that you stick in the back of your shoes when they are a big too big and which stop 'em falling off your feet...25p. (Was thinking I needed some for a particular pair of shoes but had no idea where to look for them!:)) Amazing what you find in these shops.....

Soooo total spend this week £2.25

My favourite purchase this week is a pair of beige Birkenstock toe-post sandals for £4. Very pleasing, especially as they were in my size....hard to come by as I have huge size 8 hooves :-).

Inspired by reading this thread last night - I went to a few local charity shops today! I got a lovely as new Nike tshirt for my fussy teenager in a luminous orange! he loves it £3.59 :j also got two pieces of a 1960s dinner service that my friends brother collects 20p per piece which he will be happy with! saw lots of overpriced stuff, Charity shops round here aren't brill but very happy with my two bargain.

Had a good day for bargains: 2 brand new t-shirts; short sleeved cotton shirt for OH; long sleeved linen shirt and blouse (both M & S and as new) for me; a pair of pyjamas; dressing-gown; a Whistles woven bag (with a broken mirror, so they took £1) and 6 dVDs (3 for £2). Total (between two different Sally Ann branches) was about £25. But - I have a purse full of loyalty cards because I've been clearing out for weeks now so used £22 worth. Total cash spent - just under £3!! Brilliant day. And the best part is that I still have £20 in stamps left to use for next time <g>

This is becoming increasingly common in charity shop (no, I am not becoming meaner...!).

I got a new M&S shirt and designer necktie for 5.99p in Cheltenham. Love it. Cheap work clothes, but quality


Charity shops charge too much for ties generally even crappy ones
