What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Potternerd

A bnwt Tu gym top and a Tu black t shirt 50p each, a Nike top £1, a Jigsaw unstructured navy jacket/ cardie £2 and a White Stuff fine cotton tunic £2.50.

I'm using some B and H stuff they gave when I worked in a CS because it didn't sell. It's incredibly insipid both in smell and substance so very cheaply made. Looking forward to getting it finished and going back to my Soap and Glory!

Had to hunt for this thread - nobody bagged any bargains lately?

I bought a Isle of Wight glass perfume bottle - I collect them.
'Summer Fruits' range in green

Perfect condition, similar selling on ebay (BIN = buy it now) for around £60. :eek:

I was hyperventilating (well, almost ) when I saw it on the shelf in our village Age UK for £1.50. It's a shop I rarely go in so it really had my name on it.

A Roxy laptop bag in rainbow shades.
£2.99 from BHF.
Looks unused.
It does fit my laptop but I bought it more as a messenger bag that I can use when I go out for the day and have my book, umbrella, sunglasses and lots of other paraphernalia that I seem to find necessary for my survival.
I put all my shopping in it which included 2 ceramic knives, a penguin brolly, 2 Monet mouse mats, a 50% wool/silk scarf, a pair of M&S patterned leggings & a present for our friend's birthday.

Not me nope Did a full tour of the local chazzas on Thursday and found zilch to buy. Saw a couple of nice dresses but the sizes were all wrong. Did spot 7 x B & H gifty boxes tho.....4 in the Martin House shop, 2 x in BHF and 1 x in the community shop. All proudly displayed :rotfl:

Love those perfume bottles Pollycat...I have an iridescent blue one myself and a turquoise mushroom..

This is on my list to find - will be very happy if I snag a couple for 20p or so, and have a firm belief that this will happen in time

Nipped into one of the less expensive ones as I had to collect a parcel nearby this morning, found 3 books for a £1, including Maria Von Trapp's autobiography (she's meant to be a far cry from Julie Andrews portrayal!) and a salad dressing shaker similar to the one below for 20p.

I nipped into town after work yesterday and picked up a Phase Eight deep blue boucle shift dress, 3/4 sleeves & 2 patch pockets for £4.99. Also saw 4 different B&H gift sets

QI Facts Book, 25p (Sense, I think). New enough will do for Xmas gift. Trying to get all my Xmas gifts done for less than a quid per person from the chazzers.

PS you can iron the spine of paperback books to get minor reading creases out.

Polly - I've visited the IoW glassworks on a number of occasions. Glass blowing fascinates me. They do some stunning work but most of it out of my price range but I do have a little penguin

This is a great bargain.
I love this style of dress with thick tights and ankle boots.

I'd love to see that (the glass blowing, not the penguin ).
I bought a bigger IoW perfume bottle last year (I think) from another charity shop.

I bought my Mum a Caithness polar bear from a flea market years ago.
I've not seen it lately so it might have been outed when she moved. I hope not.
