Hi all:wave:

Wow! Great bargains everyone!

Sorry, forgotten who got the mahooosive cream mixing bowl for under a £. I've seen a lot of these in CS lately at a lot, lot more. Some were even more expensive than buying brand new from a high street store at well over £10 & £15 - think some of them are jumping on the "Shabby Chic, cup-cake baking" bandwagon.

Twas meeeeee! And I'm loving using it....now have ditched the breadmaker, (proper hand made bread is so much nicer!). My old pyrexy-type mixing bowl was less than half the size so I spread less flour around the kitchen/me/cat now

Only bargain this week, so far has been an M & S, black, long sleeved Autograph T shirty top thing - as new for 50p.

I got a lovely tshirt from Next for £1 and Jo Brands autobiography for 50p, been looking out for the book for a while. Starting to get through the list of things I am looking out for quite quickly lately!

I have shifted a lot of weight so far this year and luckily had kept lots of clothes in all different sizes so have not had to buy much up until now. I still have not quite hit my target so didnt want to spend money on anything new so have been haunting the charity shops lately. I have had far too many fabulous things to list them all, all absolutely fantastic quality and good names on them, next, per una etc.

I bought a lovely mango dress still with the £40 price ticket on for £6.99. I have had so many compliments about the nice clothes, I did break my silence and told a friend about my bargains. She would have been the last person I would have expected to go into a charity shop, but instead she became really excited and said she was going to have a look around them herself. :money:


I was having a sort out of what fit etc and realized that all of my work trousers were from charity shops and probably all of my non work trousers/jeans etc too, if I bought new I would have bought cheap so instead I have much better brands/quality for less money. There are definately better things in smaller sizes though, which is an incentive for me not to put the weight back on again. I have not managed to get anything quite as cheap as people on this thread have mentioned, I have trawled my local high street and there is one shop which is far better stocked than all the others and is also the cheapest. Prices are £4.99 for jeans (I got a next pair, and my OH pays £40 for his from next :eek:) £4.99 for linen trousers (again, from next and completely lined) jackets £7.99 or £8.99, blouses £4.99, dresses £7.99. Some of the books are £2 each, my church sells them cheaper than that so will only buy if its something I really want.

I am loving charity shops at the moment!:T

So pleased with them!

I'm addicted to charity shop shopping, I buy half my stuff from there. Last week I got some great stuff including a brown bolero jacket, a couple of nice tops, a dress and an art deco design glasses case for my mum

Picked up a jacket with one of the top buttons missing which was no problem, simply snipped off the other and it looked even
