What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

I can't really answer your question but speaking personally I always take my unwanted stuff directly to the charity shop of my choice (it's a local Hospice).
At least I know that it's got to the place I intended.

I am very fortunate as not being a driver it it is difficult to take too much to the Charity shop but the Council provide us with lilac plastic recyle bags specifically for clothing :T so this is where I put things that are not good enough to donate to a charity shop and can leave the bag by the front gate.

We took a trip to Edinburgh last week which included a day in North Berwick (lovely place with some wonderful shops!)

I picked up the following from a couple of the local charity shops:

A Little White Company top for £3 (age 4) (RRP £20)
A Powell Craft ballerina rag doll for £3 (RRP £15)
A Disney Cars bedding set for £3.50 (RRP £10)
A chiffon & silk silver/greyhalter neck evening top for £3.50 and a black lace long sleeve top for £3.50, both F&F (Tesco) (RRP at least £10 each)

Just a little find yesterday at a local hospice shop. A little present for my uncle for 50p....the guy at the till said it was worth 50p of anyone's money once he'd read it and had a giggle! It's a little stone figure of a married couple on a sofa, and it says "the opinions expressed by the husband of this house are not necessarily those of the management."

2 vintage mid length skirts, one lemon in colour and the other a silky black with colourful flowers from the £1 rail that will look great teamed with a plain tee. A turquoise vest top with gold zip breast pocket also off the £1 rail.

Great bargain!

I bet if you googled it, you'd have a shock at the original price.

3 more books for me - and another Usborne "touchy-feely" one for the baby. Really useful since she loves books, and her favourite is whichever one I happen to be reading. So now I have a total of 3 chaz-purchased mint condition thick-cardboardy books for her full of bright colours, shiny shapes and different textures, which I lay out for her. Watching her "read" them (systematically turn over the pages and inspect the contents) is fascinating, especially when the books are upside down!

Not much to report till today.....

On Monday I got an M & S T shirt in lemon yellow, looks new - the Martin House Hospice shop were selling off T shirts for 50p.

On Tuesday at the other hospice garage sale I spotted an, as new, LK Bennet skirt on the 'good' rail, dark charcoal pencil-type skirt, lovely fabric and beautifully made but priced at £9. As you can't try on I talked myself out of it at that price but kept thinking about it all week. So I decided to take a tape measure with me today to compare it with an existing well fitting skirt and if it was still there and seemed likely it would fit I would splurge. It was and I did So pleased, it fits perfectly and I love it. I happened to call into the LK Bennet shop in Harrogate last week-end and was :eek: at the prices so I think it was a bargain at £9.

I picked up a lovely new Next black lacy cocktail dress still with the labels attached it had been £68 and it was marked at £7 and it fitted perfectly, love my local Hospice shop.

I've got one! I've got one! :j

It seems ages since I got a bargain.

From our hospice shop:
a UGG cable knit beanie-style hat in fawn. Had no tag on, I asked the lady, she looked at the logo and said 'Oh, Australia'. How does 75p sound?' It sounded pretty good to me - they are about £60 new.

a Next multi-coloured tunic (that I can get away with as a beach dress) in wonderful shades of fuchsia pink, purple, turquoise, jade & orange with a fuchsia pink crochured bit at the neck and random sequins. £3.50. It will be perfect for travelling in to match my fuchsia & turquoise trainers. I just need to find some toning leggings.
Primark here I come.
