What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Haven't had much time to mooch recently, but on Thursday I found a lovely BNWT grey knit H&M dress with a pleated satin collar. Original price was over £30, I paid £3

I visited the local Cancer Research charity shop yesterday and spotted a paperback copy of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather for £1. It's the black cover edition with gold font on the cover, you can't buy them brand new anymore, so although it's a bit creased, I bought it.

Wandered past the BHF shop this afternoon but as the woman with raffle tickets was stood in the doorway, I gave it a miss.

Don't they realise how off-putting that is? :mad:

Yesterday I was overjoyed to find a brass votive lamp with my name on it! (Metaphorically). It has scrubbed up like gold

And just for a change, I bought another 14 books, inc “A Streetcar Named Desire”, an anthology of Paul Theroux’ short stories and the complete works of Samuel Johnson. I now have 5 cardboard boxes filled to the brim with books in my living room, all wiped clean but ready to transport when the time comes - this on top of my already heaving bookcases that I expanded a few weeks ago! I just want to lock myself away and read

Some good and not so good moments at my local South London strip; all books and DVDs were 50p in one shop. I was considering a jumper in the Oxfam, but it was H&M and priced at £6 which I thought unjustified.

I had to nip to the PO and Asda this morning so I called at 2 of the 3 CS in our village and sadly one of them is closing down as they are not making a profit, it has been there a long time and I have been calling in regularly all that time.

Anyway bittersweet as it was they were selling everything half price so I got

M&S navy & white Breton stripe top £1
Atmosphere fur lined gilet for DD for when we are out walking £1.50
Atmosphere navy patterned shawl/scarf £1
Boys Hype sweatshirt £1.75
Seasalt Mylor Jacket in blue £1.75

I was particularly happy about the Hype top as I have been trying to get DS one on ebay for ages but they go too high, this is currently being washed and will go away for Christmas for him.

Had a little excursionette to North Yorkshire for the week-end so on the way back called into Ripon and had a quick waltz around a few charity shops....not hugely impressed - high prices and mostly low quality goods but I did pick up a much needed replacement cover for my aged iPad. £1.25 and real 'faux' leather if there is such a thing!!:p Also stopped off in Harrogate where the quality of goods was slightly better but the prices were high so got nowt there.

Got a Halloween outfit for baby no.2 for next year. Asda originally. £1.99.
