What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Out,_Vile_Jelly

Something I love about charity shops which is FREE is their window displays; the ones near me consistently have eye-catching, creative and topical windows that change regularly. I walk past about 4 on the way to work and they always make the journey more interesting than the high st chain stores.

My latest bargain was a burgundy pinstriped TM Lewin shirt for £4.

Popped into my local charity shops this morning and it was quite disappointing really. One shop in particular was half empty, I had to check whether they were closing they had so little on the racks. I think more people are trying to sell on eBay before donating to the CSs.
After nearly going home empty handed I spied a pair of leopard print flats on the floor in the last CS. Took a closer look - Russell & Bromley, not worn with original box, my size and were originally £95 - in the sale! Lord knows what the full price was!
And the best bit? I only had to hand over £2 for them. Definitely my best bargain of recent weeks.

I found the latest Sophie Kinsella hardback (which is still £18.99 in the shops) for just £1 and a Jacqueline Wilson paperback for my daughter for 30p, so we were both happy!! :j

Yesterday I visited my brother in Letchworth where they have a plethora of great charity shops.

They are a lot more expensive than my local ones but the quality was good.

I bought a lovely F and F dress for a fiver and a John Lewis Woman skirt for £4 and also an old fashioned serving dish for £3.50.

I was rather perturbed however when it came up as £1250000 on their till receipt but was assured it hadn't gone through on my transaction!
