Floss & Wednesday 2000 - some fab bargains there. :T

Well, I am convinced my local hospice shop (not the one in my village or in the town, one in a different village) has lost the plot.

I've not bought anything for ages in there.
Today they had a pair of Julian MacDonald jeans. Brand new with price tag of (I think) £55.
These had been marked 70% off in Debenhams to £16.50.
The charity shop wanted £22.50.
Is it me or would anyone else be put off by that?

They also have a boxed silver necklace, Cleopatra style, priced at £80.
I've been watching these on ebay for quite a while and for the weight that is a silly expensive price.

I agree with you.

That is quite cheeky of them!

B&H update: was in TK Maxx yesterday, which was well stocked with B&H gift sets, no doubt many eventually destined for chazzers.

It's often worth a rummage in TKM for imported hand creams; the Australian and NZ ones seem to be good for sensitive skin.

Perhaps not, but Poundland has no marketing illusions of “luxury”.

No, perhaps they should go upmarket and rebrand themselves Pound & Land.

Nah, when they go upmarket, they'll be rebranded as Pownd & Lland, the second 'L' being silent, you see. Really posh names look nothing like they're spelt, sez a woman who was in her twenties before she connected Grov'nor's pronounciation with Gros-ven-or's spelling. :rotfl:

Shamefully, I've been so busy running errands & stuff that I haven't even been in a chazzer for a week, never mind bought anything. This must stop, I am falling behind youse lot in bargainaciousness and am ashamed, I tell you, ashamed.

:o:o Forgive me chazza chums for I have sinned :o:o

[Whispers] Today In a chazza in Otley I saw a new, huge, B & H 3 wick candle in Sweet Mandarin 'flavour'. It was priced at 75p. I quickly had a squiz on t'internet and saw that they normally sell for around £17 :eek: I bought it.....oh the shame!

I'm a bit hesitant buying toiletries and cosmetics In TkMaxx as sometimes you never know if they have been opened and mucked about with Also, I would never buy anything food related since a few weeks ago I was looking at a Panettone when a fly crawled out of the box....yuk!

Dogs Trust in between Debenhams and John Lewis in the next town up from me had a Joules sweatshirt/ jumper dress thingy for £20.... Think I laughed out loud. They're £40 brand new.

On a better note, got a gorgeous tiny Next party dress for bump for £1.50 in Sue Ryder. Would have been £15-18 originally. Already considering it for her naming blessing.

Off their website, £89.00, off the chazzer rail£2.99. Perfect fit, now laundered and drying on the airer. Winning!

Don't be silly!
That's not a sin.
You need a candle for your up-thread bargain - as long as it fits.
And sweet mandarin sounds great.
