What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Not exactly chazza, my local second hand furniture shop. Bought a lovely antique pine chest of drawers. It was £49 including delivery. It does need a bit of work done on it, a light sanding and wax, but it really is nice.

That sounds lovely - and a real bargain, well done!

I THINK it is a charity called Break.

Belevdere is lovely but there's no way I could part with that kind of money in a chazzer now. Perhaps I've grown too hardcore

I've grown very picky - as a result of my wardrobes being crammed full of my bargains - but I think I might have been tempted with KG shoes for £9 and a Phase Eight dress for £10 in brand new condition given the probably new prices and IF I really liked them.

Just going to explore the town of Leek and its C.S. :)my friend and I adore books and keep a keen eye out for material as she makes quilts for charity, even adapting duvet covers or pillow cases.

I got one of these yesterday! https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/263164384/mid-century-wooden-pineapple-bowl-dish?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_d-home_and_living-other&utm_custom1=258538e3-8843-4db2-9eed-e2a408dc0f3d&gclid=CMmnrZ-kkcwCFckaGwod9-YCGQ
Not everyone's cup of tea I know! But I love mid century stuff and in the reply to my Mam's question "what on earth are you going to do with that?"....I'm going to keep my nuts in it! It was only £1 from a fairly local Hospice shop.

Not a cs but we went to the tip this morning and stumbled upon them having an auction. I bought a lovely wing back chair for £2 3 pairs of wooden cobblers lasts for £4 a brand new upholstered headboard for £3.50 and an antique chair for £12
Whilst in the reuse bit for the auction I saw a lovely Laura Ashley lamp shade and asked if I could have it they said yes and charged me 50p

Lots of pictures coming up, I've bought loads of stuff over the last week! They're not the best pictures, sorry

Sonya Hopkins 100% wool vest top. I paid around £2.99 for it, simple vests on her website are around $260 Australian dollars, which is about £140 :eek:


Cropped Topshop top. I think this was around £2.50, guessing it would've been around £30 in Topshop.


Ricardo bag, seems to be completely unused. I'd never heard of the brand before, but seems to be an American luggae brand. I paid £5. Their bands seem to be around $50-80, so about £35-55.


Missguided dress, I'm absolutely in love with this! I paid £5, their dresses are only about £25 anyway, but I never order from them because I generally don't like buying clothes online, so I'm very happy to have found this in a CS


Toast top. I jump at any chance I can to get Toast clothes because they're great quality and most charity shops don't seem to know it's a good brand. I think I paid around £2.95.


River Island shorts. I paid around £3.50, I guess they'd be around £25 new.


Not Your Daughter's Jeans (sorry, terrible photo). I paid £1.99, they cost around £100-150 new. Unfortunately, even though they're a size 8, they're huge on me, so I may be selling them on


Lipsy dress. I paid £6, which is a lot for me, but I do love it. I think it would've been at least £30.


Primark skirt, around £3. I seem to be drawn to Primark things for some reason, but I usually don't buy them. I love the colour of the skirt though, it didn't look worn at all and most importantly, it fits my waist perfectly (which is a rarity!), so I was happy to pay £3 for it

New Look jumper. 50p! Their jumpers are usually around £15. It literally looks unworn!


H&M dress. Cost me £1, probably £10-15 new.


Topshop top, £1. Similar on their website are £10-15.


Lucky Brand jeans, £1. So happy with these! All the jeans I own at the moment are skinny jeans, so it's nice to have some straight leg ones. Lucky Brand is a designer American brand, their jeans are usually about $110-140 so somewhere around £75-100.


The last 4 items come from my absolute favourite shop which has just been refurbished and now has even more stuff! It's a bit of a rummage, but definitely worth it.

You got a good haul there Smoosh! Love seeing photos of people's finds too!
