Has anyone been out looking for stuff in the chazzer shop yesterday today?

Are they open tomorrow?

I think it will depend which shops and where you are.

Local BHF open yesterday, Air Ambulance have signs saying £1 sale starting 29th December.

Today is Bank Holiday as Boxing Day fell on a Saturday.

Have got through a number of my chazzer books this Christmas break.

The latest is Enslaved - cost me all of 99p but had me gripped, saddened and enlightened at the same time. And confirmed to me that the chaz is my favourite way of spending disposable income.

Well I had no intention of cs shopping today and actually paid real money for a few things from normal shops, all be it in the sale. I then came across a charity shop where all clothing was £2 per item so I bought, a brand new pair of Boden cords, two pairs of johnnie b coloured jeans for dd a pair of next skinny jeans for dd and a Paul smith pink, wool winter jacket. I bought dd1 a pair of not your daughters jeans for just £1 so all in all I paid £11 for hundreds of pounds worth of clothes. Dd aged 11 had asked for a new pair of jeans earlier in the day from new look but they were £20 so I was reluctant. I went to another cs and got dd a pair of skinny black stretchy trousers and a pair of new look teens skinny jeans and a lovely sweatshirt for £8. She now has 5 new pairs of trousers and a sweatshirt for £14.

Oh definitely me too.

It should be one of my New Years challenges for 2016 to only spend disposable income in cs for the whole year.

Exactly how I like to make the most of charity shops for DsS's basic clothes, he grows so fast! I assume the quantity of barely worn stuff I find for him come from other boys growth spurts!

Hello all


















Few bargains from the last few days. Picked up a talking Buzz Lightyear for my DS £3.99 in Shelter. The woman on the till was a bit snooty, when she scanned it in she commented how she wouldn't have priced it so cheaply, but the manager had priced it. I know they are £49.99 brand new and my son has an old battered one from the carboot, which can be redonated. I also bought a Topshop cream/black fluffy jumper from the same shop for £4.49.
Today I've been to Worcester for a rare charity shop and picked up a Fat Face jersery floral blouse for £3.99 in BHF.

The Cancer Research shop in Lancaster is closing down for refurishment so are selling everything for £1 except furniture. Got a skirt and 2 pairs of trousers. I could have bought loads but I'm trying to have a declutter.

They'll probably be begging for stock when they re-open, so declutter away.
