Charity Shop Shopping

Busybody

Sometimes when I go out to lunch with my sisters we have a competition to see who is wearing the most charity shop things, ( I dont mean layered up ) We have also been known to have a charity shop day out to other towns. Great fun.

Me and my mates went on a charity shop run the other week started in tooting, walked through balham ( nice cofee on way) and then finished up in clapham.

Clapham is a right rip off, and there wasnt much doing either, what was there was rags! Tootings pretty good, my mate got a brand new mango jacket shed been hunting for one for ages for 1.50. I got a Guzzini Cruet set, ( a copy is £65 on kelkoo) brand new for £3.00

Also i recommend Woodford on the central line, where OH got a pair of Levis twisters for £3 ( top nick) and I got a red suit ( for the jacket) for a tenner. Not the cheapest round woodford, but very good condition and lots "worth buying"

Will check out golders green this weekend I think

Exactly amosworks. There should be a stigma attached to throwing away perfectly decent wearable clothes!
A neighbour threw out a whole suitcase full I wanted to have a rummage, it was ont he pavement, but the council cleared it up, binned no doubt:(

LOL lynzpower, if you're in the Golders Green charity shops around 2/3 pm on Sunday and you see an average height girl with brown hair, glasses, a black hooded fleece and (probably) jeans, say hi cos it's probably me!

i got some bargains yesterday, our hospice childrens charity shop (all kids clothes and toys) was having a clear out as they are having a refit (hope that doesn't mean the prices will go up!!!) It was fill a carrier bag for £1, got loads of next, m & s, and other good label stuff for dd, and got quite a bit of teenage tammy girl stuff which'll fit me as i'm only petite and a size 8-10 (i love kids clothes for me, so much cheaper) filled 4 bags with stuff.

LOL I will be more as likely wearing a red double breasted wool jacket from Woodford Charity shop!! I will have a very intent look on my face and racing through the rails jangling my coinage!

A bit off topic but this inspired me to look in tammy girl in BHS as i need an outfit for a friends wedding. Got a ribbon knit sequinned shrug for less than a fiver in an age 14-16 size:)
