Chazzers - do you budget?

I totally understand what you're saying but for me I have a total cost in my head of a max price I'm prepared to pay for any item, regardless of whether I have plenty of money. The thermometer to me is a stocking filler type present and 'not worth' around £25. It's not something I'd associate with quality either. They sit there with balls going up and down and are pretty to look at if that's what you like and if you knock them off they break, but I hope you find one you like.

My point is that it really isn't a 'stocking filler'.
That isn't what I'm buying.
We don't do 'stocking fillers'.
To me, that is a waste of money.
I looked in the jewellers today at the one I saw in the window earlier this week.
It's probably 2 foot tall. Priced at £69.99, reduced from £89.99.
I wouldn't pay that but thehe glass is far superior to the ones in the charity shop ( which were probably B&M or Home Bargains)
That really isn't what I'm looking for..

I would have complained verbally at the time and pointedly taken the donation elsewhere. And then if I still felt slighted after 25 hours would complain directly to the Head Office.

The attitude you describe does the charity a huge disservice and if I was in a leadership position I would want to know about it, volunteer or not.

I agree with this ^°°^ 100%>

Are findings just as good in the summer?
I just wonder because some people carboot their stuff and then donate what is left.
It may just be psychological but find chazzer shopping not so good in summer?
