I had forgotten the pushing and shoving but the best bargains I found were on the floor!

Been after thick curtains to keep the cold out and found some good as new Montgomery ones for £9.95 (RRP £117 in the sale). Chuffed. :T

Please spare a thought for a charity shop gingham shirt of mine which passed on to the great clothesrail in the sky. Bought in 2000 for £3, I wore it every summer until this one. An operation to turn the collar failed and it passed away on the sewing table. Its body has now been donated to my wife to cut up for making gingham lids for home made jam jars!

My charity shop checked shirt bought around the same time was stolen by my daughter!

She also has a Tshirt of mine bought in 1981 and that gets borrowed by all her friends too.

That was from Pinapple though not the charity shop!

My DH had some curtains made up from Montgomery fabric over 25 years ago, and they are still going strong! Hope yours last as long!

Been back to the charity shops and came home empty handed

I hate when they put things in colours so it's just a jumble of dresses and coats and pants and what ever all by green or blue or red
What's wrong with size order! And by item type! Sheesh!

Will probably try again this weekend in a different town. Got to keep revisiting although none of my bargains are as good as some of those listed here!!

Are car boots any good? I dont know if we have any decent sized ones round here though.

I love charity shopping because like mentioned above your wardrobe is unique. I feel less guilty if I get bored with an item because I just resonate it. Less money 'wasted' for me than if that were a brand new item

I found a Chloe handbag for £10, leather purse for £5 and a very posh corkscrew set for a fiver.

Casual Primark top for mum
Gorgeous woolly scarf

Silver shoes for a niece
Hoody for me

I found a lovely coat this morning in the Red Cross shop, Marilyn Anselm for Hobbs, in great nick except the buttons were hanging off, not a problem obviously - except I then looked at the price tag, £30!!!! Needless to say it got put back sharpish.

£30 was a bargain. £200-£250 new and sell used on eBay for a fair whack.
