A major chaz win for me this week.

Was on the prowl for baby stuff and came across a good quality playpen - must have been used previously but looked brand new. I was happy to pay £20 for it and couldn't resist looking for it online afterwards. Usually retails for £100.

I had. Abut find today. Basler BNWT dark grey wool and angora long coat £10. Would have been about £250 originally. The thing is, I don't really need it! But it was too good to pass up! I'll be the best dressed dog walker in the park!

A Thonet stool which is lovely. Cost £20 but a friend tells me they cost £100 new. It is beautifully made and oddly enough I don't go to this particular CS anymore as dogs aren't allowed it but the stool was outside!

I was in one of our local CS yesterday and spotted a Brand new pair of
Jimmy Choo sandals for £34.95. I thought they were horrible and would never have brought them even if they had fitted me.

But a bargain for someone if they loved them. They were party type sandals so someone will snap them up for a Xmas party I would think

Its so amazing what you can find in the Chazzers if you look hard enough
