Look beautiful Greyqueen- wonder why the cs put them on the bargain rail?

Well done GreyQueen they look very nice, I love the dark colour.

I had a trawl around the CS yesterday and below is a list of all things I liked but didn't buy because of the price:

M&S faux sheepskin jacket £10
Mandara Spa Gift Set £5
F&F faux leather boots (this was DD actually and they were scuffed and worn) £6:eek:
Cherry Red Dr Martens Boots (I have wanted some of these for ages but the soles had wear which takes some doing and the insoles were half gone) £30
Crew Clothing Gilet £5
Old Navy brushed cotton PJ bottoms £3.99

I saw lots of other insane prices too, I don't live in some sort of affluent area and these were all local shops.

dolly84 - right decision, especially about the DMs.
I've just bought a pair of gold patent DM gladiator sandals - brand new - for £29.99 + £4.40 shipping (for my holidays next year). They're fab.

Your prices above sound silly prices (but I'm not going to start another discussion on charity shops losing the plot price-wise ).

Not as good as GreyQueens buy but I found a pair of TU, dark navy, straight legged, jeans in the community shop on the £1 rail. In very good condition and I am surprised at the nice quality of the denim. Never bought anything in the way of clothes from a supermarket before and I am seriously impressed!

A friend of mine wears quite a bit of TU clothing, surprising really as she's a bit of a designer queen, but it always looks nice and non-supermarket IYKWIM.

And I've posted before about the great quality of TU jersey dresses and tunics.
And my favourite pair of trousers are my tartan ones - Gok for TU.
Definitely not a brand to dismiss.

I've been on the lookout for quite some time for a padded, waterproof, windproof jacket with a hood to add to my small coat collection and yesterday was delighted to find exactly what I'd had in mind. It's a lovely chocolatey bronze sort of colour, brand new and still with the tags on it for the princely sum of £7 which I was very happy with. Just goes to show that if you are prepared to be patient, the right thing will come along eventually!

A kag in a bag for £2 and a pair of bnwt leggings for £2 original price was £54!!! Who on earth would pay that for leggings? They were on the rail for the same price as Primark in the CS which seemed a bit odd. Also this wasn't CS but I was dead chuffed to find a Sea Folly tankini top in blue, black and white stripes so easy to match in my size in TK Maxx. For £5. Obviously I'm not going to be wearing it at the moment but will put away for next summer��

I think we should be naming and shaming.
