I'd recognise quality clothing, but nothing with a designer tag. I doubt I've spent over £200 in chazzers in the past 12 months, despite multiple visits and purchases - including at least 100 books, plenty of clothes and a couple of bigger items (my Dri-Buddi and double clothes rail springs to mind).

I think it's horses for courses, one of the things I was most pleased with last year was a BNWL cardigan in just the colour and style I was looking for, and I wore it a lot over the winter, but it was Primark, so I guess a lot of people wouldn't have been interested, as I'm sure you could get better makes in charity shops for the same price, but it was cheaper than it would have been originally and it was what I was looking for at the time

A bargain is a bargain if you're happy with the price and you really want the item - regardless of how much you've paid and where you bought it from.

I did too
In fact one of my best buys was in 2000 - 4 Le Crueset casseroles, 2 small, 2 large in flame orange. Much coveted by DS2!

Lordy! Lordy!
That's a bargain-and-a-half! :T


I didn't realise Radley did bags that expensive.
