What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

What did you decide? I would definitely keep it - sounds lovely.

DH broke our sugar bowl a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't been able to see one I like, but today I got a hand sponged motley blue one which will match my blue kitchen, with a lid and a big enough opening to get a spoon in and out for 99p. Very happy. Especially as it was in the more expensive CS.Just have to remember not to put it in the dishwasher!
Interestingly the more expensive CS had a lot of clothes etc reduced - obviously not selling at the price they are asking. Nothing for me unfortunately. I do have my eye on a red cardigan, but I'm not prepared to pay the money they are asking, and as yet it's not reduced. I live in hope!

Having discovered the other week that the Oxfam shop has moved close to where I work, I decided to go today after I finished. Only with 10minutes till my finish time, I got sent a time consuming email demand from a fussy customer. 45 minutes later.... Just as well the chazzer shuts early and I wouldn't have caught it anyway. Going to ask my boss tomorrow if I can have slightly longer for lunch to go. Am still on the hunt for a 'victorian style' blouse for DD

Not sure who this was to? I've scrolled up and can only see myself mentioning CS said I could take something back for a refund. I'm not going to, someone else in DD's drama group will wear it if she doesn't.

I bought a fabulous Monsoon green beaded summer dress from Age Uk for just £3.75.
I'm loosing weight on Slimming world and have never really bought Monsoon clothing before as I was a size 20.
This is a 14.. It will look amazing with a pair of silver flip flops in Spain

Wow shiprob -well done you for sticking g to your goals. A new wardrobe via the CS is very frugal and now you can try things you'd not have looked at before without much outlay.

Not me - but a friend I saw yesterday was wearing a beautiful pale green linen jacket with a mandarin style collar which looked new and had cost her £3.50! i should have asked which charity shop she goes to!

I have a Per Una dress in a grey soft cotton material and a little garden table that folds up.

I made it to the Oxfam shop near my work place and got a shirt for Les Mis for £1.99.

The sales assistant commented on the lovely feel of the fabric and looked in the label and said 'oh it's a Tom Joules one that's why'. (I'd never heard of it and decided against telling her I was contemplating chopping the collar off so to look more 'grandad style')

2 items left to get, french flag and nuns outfit, so will have to resort to ebay for them. This weekend ear-marked for costume trying on. Will come back here with my costings once finished.
