I shop in CS because I am a shopaholic with a concience.

I look for clothes for my kids,OH,and me.Books ,storytapes,,CDs,interesting bits of tat,stuff,furniture.

Quality,price,well organised stock,friendly staff all help me to spend money.
Mainly buy books,clothes,furniture.
Favourite shop is Emmaus,Waterbech,Cambs.
I do contribute to CS.
I have volunteered in the past,may do again in the future
Monday last: will probably go again this pm.Usually go at least once a week.Try to go to a different area each time.Have been known to make special trips further away with a view to charity shopping.Whenever I go anywhere for any reason eg hols,family excursions,weddings,funerals ,bar mitzvahs etc I always check out the charity shops.What can I say......saddo.

Never go in local Oxfam,as the bits I'm interested in are upstairs.As the prices tend to be a bit steep anyway,I calculate it as a waste of effort!

The Barnardo's in St Ives,discounts clothes if they don't sell,other shops should follow suit..;That way I get an even better bargain !!!!!!;)

Would you ever consider being a shop volunteer? maybe when im retired

when was the last time you visited a shop? september last year

what's your opinions on layout of the store, price of goods, window displays, staff helpfulness? layout is a bit manic, price is good, window display is alright and staff i havent spoken to much but they seem ok

Is there anything you feel shops should change, for example lower price of goods, better layout etc. i guess the thing with charity shops is that they have have any continutity with items, or more than one so its hard to display a range of ltos of different products neatly. (you can quote me here) :P

When do you think you will be next visiting a charity shop? probably when im in the mood to mooch, sometime this year

any other opinions you would like to add please give? negative

Gotta help with these things!
